Pumpkin Patch

Ryah's daycare hosted their annual Vala's Pumpkin Patch Potluck.  I am so glad that we were invited, we had such a wonderful time with all the kids and their families.  Missy and her daughter Rhonda are such wonderful people, and I never worry about what Ryah is doing at daycare cause I know she is being spoiled rotten!  We all brought a dish to pass.  I brought my mom's snicker bar salad, which turned out to be a HUGE hit with the kids but even more so with the adults!  Matt, Ryah, and I walked around the pumpkin patch and stopped for a few kodak moments.  This was probably the most least expensive trip I will ever make to the pumpkin patch- I have a feeling this will become a tradition for us as well.

Too much partying for Ryah... I love my expression as well!

I can't believe there are only 5 days before Halloween.  I bought Ryah a costume awhile back... I hope it will still fit.  Happy Halloween Everybody, and stay tuned for pictures from Ryah's 1st Trick or Treating Adventure.  



Fall is Here!!!

 Oh, I just love Fall. It is my most favorite season. All the leaves turning beautiful colors, and falling from the trees, the smells of pumpkin pie (even though I don't eat it), and the warm days with cool evenings.... ahhhh, I LOVE IT!!! And I can't forget... Football!!! and yes we are Husker Fans! I asked Ryah the other day if she wanted to be a Husker Cheerleader, she got all excited, so I thought I better put her outfit on for the game the other night.

GO BIG RED!!!

My little turkey is getting so big.  She started to roll over the other day.  If she is on her tummy she will roll to her back.  Her little friend at daycare, Olivia, rolls the opposite way.  Missy says it is the funniest thing to watch. 

I wonder what she was thinking to give this little smirk

Ryah got her sunglasses from her great Aunt Stacy.  I think they are absolutely hilarious and she doesn't mind having them on.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this weather as much as I do.  I am afraid it isn't going to last much longer.  In two weeks we will be taking Ryah to the pumpkin patch.  All the daycare kids and their families will be there as well.  I hope the weather cooperates with us that day.  Happy Fall!!!!

While Daddys Away...

The girls will play!  Matt went on a hunting adventure this weekend, so Ryah and I spent some quality mother/daughter time together.  We spent the morning shopping.  I can tell that I am getting old cause the only thing I came home with was... towels!  I know pathetic right?  Later in the afternoon I thought it would be a perfect time for me to dig out my scrapbooking stuff.  Matt is going to kill me when he gets home and looks in the basement.  I have all my scrapbooking "goodies" pulled out, and it looks like a tornado hit!  I can't think of a better way to spend a cold & gloomy day than by sitting in my pjs and scrapping :)  Awhile back I had picked up some Baby Einstein videos at a garage sale.  I heard that kids just love them and are entertained by them.  I put one in for Ryah to see if it would entertain her while I was busy going through my stuff.  It was hillarious!!!  She would get so excited, I thought she was going to jump right out of her bouncy seat.  Her arms and legs were just going crazy at all the different shapes and colors that would come on the screen.  It was hard for me to get anything done cause she was entertaining me.

After Ryah's bath, I dug out the camera and thought I would take some pictures of my beautiful little girl.  We (or maybe I should say, I) had so much fun.  Even though I couldn't get her to show off her dimples, except for 1 picture, I still think these turned out really well.  I can't get over how much she has changed in these past couple of months.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Look at those eyelashes... I am so jealous!
