Color On The Walls

Fun runs seem to be the trend this summer! And I love that even my "non-runner" friends will do them with me!

Sister wanted to come visit in August, but wanted there to be an event going on...so we signed up for the Dirty Dash! It was a 5 mile course up at Bogus Basin, complete with obstacles like hay bale hurdles, monkey bars, and of course...mud pits. We got some great pictures and had a lot of fun!

Don't forget the beer chug at the top!

Then we had the Color Run!! We had been planning and excited for this race since we first heard about it in January. But the date kept changing! And registration never opened! I don't know what kind of issues they were having, but every other city got the Color Run in the warm summer months while in Boise? We got it in mid-October. At 8am. It was cold to say the least. Never the less it was still such a fun race and we got cute shirts from it!

Let The Games Begin

Of course the year I get Boise State season tickets is the year I have a weekend job...wah wah. I was still able to make it to a handful of games, and my ticket never went to waste! The BF always found someone eager to take my place. 

Our seats were in the South End Zone, only a few rows up. And they were reserved!! Hallelujah! Gone are the days of student general seating...waiting HOURS in line before games to wait inside the stadium another 2 hours for the game to start. Ahh the life of an alumni. The smoke from wildfires was crazy this fall though...yucky skies!

We had a black out game this year...meaning an excuse for me to go buy new black clothes! Kinda fun...but I think we should stick to our usual blue and orange...it's what we're known for!

Almost Easy

Every year, I decide I love fall more and more. Pretty soon I think it might actually be my favorite season. When I crave something pumpkin-y or cinnamon and spicy, you can bet pinterest will help me out with delicious recipes. 

I adore pumpkin cookies...any time of year. But especially in the fall! This recipe is from skinnytaste (here), so I like to pretend these cookies aren't thaaattt bad for you. Right?! 

When I first saw a pin for Caramel Apple Spice Milky Way Cookies my first thought was "WHAT?! Caramel Apply Milky Ways exist??" And they really do! I had to check a couple stores, but finally found them at Shopko. I gave this recipe out to a few friends because everyone loved them. Cinnamon spice cookies with chunks of real apples and a Caramel Apple Milky Way in the middle. To. Die. For. The Domestic Rebel kicked this one out of the park. (recipe here)

In true pinterest fashion, you never stop once you start. After finding new recipes I just had to find a new craft! Boise State Football is every one's favorite fall addiction here...and I found a tutorial for these suuuper cute game day ribbon wreathes! (tutorial from Tater Tots and Jello here, inspiration from She's Kinda Crafty here). I thought it turned out so good! We kept it up outside for months. 

The wreathe was my last project of the fall. I had every intention of carving a pumpkin this year, but that plan was ruined. You can see Roomie carved hers on the left. Mine on the right, however, got carved by squirrels instead...
