Raking Leaves....

Rylie had more fun running through the leaves than playing in them. I actually enjoy raking and playing in the leaves. Even though Mike will claim he does all the work. Raking leaves also means that SNOW is right around the corner. Which I am READY for.

A whole lot of HALLOWEEN fun!

The North Logan Pumpkin Walk...
We were lucky enough to go with Rylie's cousins and Grandma Smith. Her cousins were posing and it took Rylie a moment to figure out the right way to face. Of course if they did, she had to do it too.

The next drama... I have to admit that Halloween is not my favorite Holiday. I love decorating for Fall, but not Halloween. We borrowed this Darling Pig outfit from my sister. The night before Halloween, I put her in it to get some pictures for Grandma's.

Rylie was fighting the outfit, she didn't want the hat on and she couldn't wear shoes with it.

So she ended up dressing as.....

TINKERBELL...

and was so much happier! (Thank you Erica).

As I said, Halloween is so not my favorite. But I thought Rylie would love to carve a pumpkin for the first time. Nope, she would not have anything to do with it. Mike ended up carving it while Rylie played and he was Thrilled to do it. ( ha ha)


And finally on to Trick or Treating....

At the mall with cousins; Two Mountain Crest Cheerleaders,

a Kitty Kat, Caterpillar and Tinker Bell.

I took Rylie out around the Neighbor Hood Trick or Treating with some friends, she caught on quick that there was candy.

"Trick or Treat, give me some candy"!

It is too nice to not be outside right now!
And of course bring the camera along.
I am not sure what we are going to do when it
SNOWS and we can't be outside all day long!

Fridays off!

I am lucky enough to not have to work Fridays. Friday is the day that Rylie and I do whatever we want, really whatever we want. I don't clean, do laundry, or any chores until our house is out of control. It is OUR day to play! . We have gone to the park, rode the bus, shopped, parks again, playing, running errands, lunch out with friends, more going to the park, swinging, more shopping (of course this is her idea) fun projects, friends over, and so much more.

Last Friday Rylie wanted leftover Pizza and Breadsticks for Breakfast!
This is the LIFE!

Tony Grove!

Last week Mike had a "use it or loose it" vacation day so I decided to take the day off too. We ended up in Logan Canyon and at Tony Grove. The leaves and the weather were awesome.

Scrapbook Weekend!

Don't be jealous, but last weekend my sisters, one cousin and I went to Bear Lake and scrapbooked. We leave the little ones home with Dads and off we go. We have been doing this twice a year for EIGHT years. We bring too many snacks, tons of diet coke and stay up WAY late! We end up in tears several times during the weekend, from laughing so hard. What a fun tradition, fun time with family, fun memories and priceless time together. I can't wait until next time.

My new Bike!

Check out my new bike! Rylie was so excited to get a new bike that it had to ride in the back seat on the way home. She hasn't quite figured out how to keep the pedals going, but is having fun playing with all the features.



Of course it is pink and purple, her favorite!
