Stickers and The Fair

My friend Stacy sent Rylee the cutest card with stickers for Halloween. Rylee loved the stickers...especially since they were the raised kind and played with them until there was no sticky left! Here she is with them all over her shirt.






saying cheese!


Then today we went to the fair. The Dixie Classic Fair comes in town once a year for a week and last year we didn't go because of rain. This year we decided to go anyways despite rain chances again today. I'm so glad we did. Rylee had so much fun! She even rode a few rides. She thought she was just big stuff!

Feeding the Ducks

My mom and grandmother took Rylee to the park the other day. It has a beautiful path walking around a lake. There were lots of ducks and Rylee loved feeding them!

Showing off the rock she found....she may just be a tomboy!

Fall

I love fall. I love the holidays...I love the cooler weather...I love being able to keep the windows open during the day and I love all the beautiful colors of fall. Basically I just love fall! And we are already having a lot of fun this fall! Yesterday Rylee and I got together with a bunch of girls that I went to high school with and their kids and then went to my sister's to help with her "landscaping day" at her house. Here are some pictures..

she had fun!



And a couple really cute ones of Rylee from today..she was eating her snack and in one of her cute Halloween outfits.

Decorating and meeting Dayla

A friend of mine that I work with had a baby a month or so ago. Rylee and I just got the chance to go and meet her. Rylee loved the baby and wanted to hold her about the whole time we were there. I put a pillow and let the baby lay in her lap that way. Here is a picture of Rylee and Dayla.



Then yesterday we got out the Halloween decorations. Rylee is really big on helping and loved putting up some of the decorations with me. She was such a good helper too!

Wagon Ride

I'm a little far behind in posting...first Rylee went to her 18month appointment. She is 25 lbs and 3 oz. and 32.5 in tall. Then the next day she had an unrelated issue with her neck where she couldnt' move it at all. After a round of antibiotics we are all better! So things have been busy around here.

It is still really pretty here in the afternoons and my mom took Rylee on a wagon ride today. Here are some of the pictures...












Her hair is at a really funny stage and I'm not sure what to do with it...grow it out or get it cut??

Badin Lake

This past weekend we got the chance to hang out at the Crouse family lake house. This was Rylee's first experience with the lake and she seemed to really enjoy it (although she kept calling it a pool). Here are some pictures from the day

She wouldn't get in unless Momma and Aunt Jessie were in

We really had a great time and can't wait to go back. Thank you Crouses for inviting us and letting us come!
