...Office Treats...

We love to go visit Grandma Paula at work, and see all our friends there too! Last week me and Rylee took some treats into some of Rylee's "Office Aunts." She was so cute carrying them in and handing everyone their treats. She wouldn't give Grandma Paula hers, but she did share some of it with her.




 Most all of the ladies at my moms office have known Rylee since she was 3 days old... literally 3 days old. We stopped at the office to show everyone Rylee on the way home from the hospital. Valerie works right across from my mom and is always so happy to see Rylee. Rylee loves her, and will go sit on her lap and look at the screen savers on her computer with her. Rylee also knows where the lost and found drawer is. She goes right in and grabs a pair of sunglasses to wear. They usually go on upside down or sideways!


After we left my moms office we went to visit Great Grandma Betty. Grandma loved her cute outfit and made a huge fuss over it which Rylee ate up!! We are so lucky to have so much of our family close by!



... New Stuff...

Just some more new stuff Rylee is doing!

*When something is hot she still asks us if it's hot, but now she blows on it. It doesn't matter what it is... cheese, ice-cream, ham, cereal, fruit snacks... everything is hot to her!

* Every cat she sees she points and calls it a Moe Moe.

* She has a book that has flaps to lift up on every page. You try to find where the cat is hiding. Well, she memorized where the cat is on every page, and ripped off the flap on each page so she can see the cat.

* She LOVES LOVES LOVES Tinkerbell! We have watched Tinkerbell's Fairy Rescue about a bazillion times the past 2 days. We rented it from Redbox, and now I'm pretty sure we are going to have to buy it.

* She likes to play in the cats liter box. GROSS. I have to watch her so closely, or she just runs to it.

* When she is sitting in her high chair and wants out or gets behind the table in the front room and cant get out she yells, "stuck!" Its so funny to hear her say it.

* When I fold Chasey's work shirts she points at it and says. " Dada's." What a smart little girl.

* Her I lala ( I love you) has turned into I love. No you on the end, just I love. Its so dang cute.

... Halloween Family Night...


Last Monday we had my family over for a Halloween Family Night.
We had pizza, donuts, and carved pumpkins. The weather was perfect, so we were able to go outside and carve the pumpkins. The kids were all excited to play each other, well everyone except Rylee. She is not good with sharing with her stuff!! Anything anybody would touch she would scream and take it. I gave Sayla a drink in one of her sippy cups and she about had a heart attack. I don't know what we are going to do with this girl?! She honestly spent 90% of the night crying. I feel bad at first, and then just let her cry!
All of these pictures are out of order. I put my pictures on, and then added the ones from my sister in laws camera.

I found these awesome pumpkins for a dollar on my way home from Payson.
Sam, MaKenna, Ben, Sayla, and Rylee. We missed all the other cousins!

Seriously EVERY picture she is doing this!

We decided carving was too messy with the kids, so we painted them instead.

...Pumpkin Patch...

Since we missed the pumpkin patch with Judy on Saturday we decided to go to one on Sunday after church. We were all excited to go, and got there to find out they were closed. Dang Mormons who wont sale stuff on Sunday! I'm kidding of course! It actually ended up being really fun. Ry doesn't do good in big crowds, and its impossible to get a good picture of her when she staring at all the other kids running around. We had the whole place to ourselves for the most part. It was the same patch we had gone to last year, so that made it kind of fun. We got some pictures in the exact same spot as last year too... kind of fun. We decided that that will be the pumpkin patch we go to every year from now on. The had a little petting farm there too. There were donkeys, goats, sheep, and sort of llama. Rylee loved the donkey. We went through the corn maze, played in the haystacks, and of course played in the pumpkin patch. It was such a fun afternoon with just our family.



Here are some pictures that were taken in the same spot as last year. Its crazy how much Rylee has changed in just a year!









Here's the Pumpkin Patch in all its glory! This picture is why I love Utah in the fall!!!

Hanging out with the donkeys.

I wont caption all of these pictures to save on time, but isn't my baby the cutest?!


The sun was so bright that we are squinting in most every picture.



Farmer Chase. He wanted to start it, but I wouldn't let him.











She loves to hold hands now when she walks with you. Its my favorite!




She would pick up straw, throw it, and then laugh so hard.



If you tell her not to so something she does it anyways and then laughs. Chase kept telling her not to put the gourd in her mouth. She would lick it and then do her little evil laugh.

My favorite picture all day!!!
She was more interested in the gourds and squash then the pumpkins.

Our attempts at self timer for a family picture... not the best.






She liked sitting up on the tractor with Chase a lot!

I LOVE my little family so much!
