The Great Pumpkin...

We went to the Pumpkin Patch for Family Night at the first of the month. It was fun- it will be more fun next year when Rylee can actaully walk and know what is going on. It was still a good night. My mom came with us too. Chase found the perfect pumpkins for me and him, and I found Ry's. I don't really know why we thought we each needed our own?! One would have been fine... oh well! Its a fun place to go. Its just in Springville so we didn't have to go very far, and the pupmpkins are cheap. We got one for Grandam Betty too, so we stopped there on our way home.

Our happy girl

Chasey is so funny. He goes up and down the rows until he finds the "right" one. He likes it to sit just perfectly so when its carved the picture shows just right.

First Pumpkin Patch experience

This was Chaseys favorite picture of her.

Grandma loved hers!

A BIG Bunch of Fall

I take alot of random pictures, and can't really just do a post all about one picture... so here they are in one BIG post!

Ry in her bouncer. At first she wasn't to fond of it. Now it's one of her favorites!

I wanted to see if Rylee liked a bouncy seat before I went and bought one. My sister in law let me use hers to try it out. It was a hit, and has been a life savor the past couple weeks.
The view from my Dads backyard.
Chasey was giving Ry a bath and all of a sudden I heard, "OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!!" I ran in to see what she had done, and above her was floating some poop. Chasey didn't know what to do- it was so dang funny.
Our trees are so nice in the summer, but dreadful in the fall. There are so many leaves on them. You rake them and the next day the grass is covered again.

Hanging out while I rake some leaves
We had the Elders over for dinner a few Sundays ago. Rylee thought they were funny. I guess Missionaries can't hold kids anymore. There has been to many accusations of child abuse. I thought they were kidding at first, but they were serious. Kind of sad.
I payed my nephew and his cousin $10 to come over and rake and bag my leaves. Katie ended up helping too- she got payed in Dr. Pepper
Ben and Kaylee
Just about done. Sam and Ashlee swept up the leaves at the end. I gave them each $2- they thought they were in Heaven.

The many faces of Ry

Probably the cutest girl I know!

4 months

I know I say it all the time..

but my baby is getting so big so fast!

She is already 4 months old!

She is at such a fun age right now. She interacts more, and is always LAUGHING!!! Here laugh is the cutest thing ever. It makes everyone laugh when they hear it! I'm so thankful for a healthy happy baby girl!

* Things I LOVE about Rylee at 4 months *

She is soooo tickilish on her stomach.

Its so funny to watch her squirm around and laugh when you tickle her.

She makes the cutest noises all the time.

She looks right at you and just starts rambling. I wonder what she is saying?!

She enjoys blowing spit bubbles.

Its one of her favorite things to do, and even though it makes her clothes saoking wet- I think its pretty cute.

If you give her a bottle or a cup she grabs it and puts up to her mouth.

Rylee has discovered that the cat is a toy that moves.

She loves Molly. She grabs and pulls and yanks on her whenever she can. Molly is pretty patient, but gets her every once in a while.

The bath is still one of her favorites things. She could splash in there forever.

Books. Books. Books.

Little Jean Bug will let you read to her all the time.

I love sitting in the chair with her and reading.

Recently she has learned that she HATES her carseat. Its miserable trying to take her places now. She cries herself to sleep most times.

She is still the cutest girl, and we love her more and more everyday!

A month long update

I figured it was time for a quick update on everything. Nothing too exciting has happened, but we did do a few things!

#1: Random pictures

Rylee has started holding her own bottle. Its so funny to watch her try and get it in her mouth.

The next 2 pictures wouldn't rotate.

Chasey and Rylee doing a late night BBQ

Mom came over to watch confernece with us on Saturday.
Chasey and Ry during Conference.
She's her mothers child.
Don't worry she didn't really drink it. She just LOVES to put cups, cans, bottles, pretty much anything up to her mouth.

Grandma Paula and Rylee
I searched EVERYWHERE for leg warmers, and finally found them.

#2: Food storage!

We finally started our food storage. There has been enough talk about it, that we decided it would be smart to get it going. It was actually kind of fun getting everything, and a GREAT feeling knowing we have some things in case something happens.

#3: Family Night

We had family night with some friends from the ward up Payson Canyon. We roasted hotdogs, made smores, and ate alot of other great food. It was the perfect fall night!

Sitting around the campfire

Rylee loves being in the canyon.

She is always so happy, and loves to watch the fire.

There were some good stories being told too.

#4: Best Friends

Rylee and Molly have developed quite the firendship. They will play togehter on Rylee's mat and in her bouncer for as long as I let them, or until one of them hurts the other. I feel like I have two kids with them sometimes. Rylee has learned how to pull her tale, ears, whiskers... pretty much anything she can grip. The cat in return scratches her.

#5: Black & White Party

My sister in laws sister had her Golden Birthday... she was 27 on the 27th. She had a BIG black and white party to celebrate. It was alot of fun. There was music, dancing, bon fires, and of course Tammy made excellent food.

#6: Ears Pierced

I had been wanting to get Rylee's ears pierced for a while, and decided to just do it. I had my sister in law come for moral support, but she ended being the one who held her while she got them done. Rylee only cried for a minute, and then she didn't know anything had even happened. They look so stinkin' cute too!

Sam came with us too. Rylee loves him!

I had to write this before I forgot.
Last night my mom babysat Rylee for us while we played softball. Right before we left she was being so dang funny. She would growl, put her whole fist in her mouth, and then wait for us to laugh. As soon as we would laugh she would do it again. We were all cracking up! She has never done anything like that before. By the time I went and got the camera of course she had quit. She is quite the character!
