Happy Halloween!!!

We started off the celebration by going to a Trunk or Treat with our ward the weekend previous. There was a chili and cornbread cook off!!! I brought cornbread, which was fabulous I might add!!! I didn't end up winning because they only did prizes for the chili, bummer. So I got Rylee all dolled up with make-up and glitter, the works!!! She loved puting on make-up especially the lipstick!!!! Such a girl. She was a pink fairy for the evening. After eating all the various chili's and cornbreads, the kids played games and then as it got dark, the adults opened the back of their decorated trunks and handed out candy to all the passer-bys.

On Halloween, we went to a 1st birthday party for Addie!!! All the kids dressed up in their costumes and looked so cute!!! Rylee had a great time with all the other kids...watching them eat the cake. She suprising was not interested in eating the cake at all.

After a long afternoon nap, Rylee was ready for the night. Again she got all dolled up with pigtails, bows, glitter, wand, make-up and costume!!! She looked so cute in person. She didn't mind the outfit except for the fact that it was a little itchy. Here I am getting more and more pregnant. Moving around isn't as easy as it used to be!!!She loved going from house to house to see what she could fill her bucket up with. She refused to let either Jon or I hold her bucket full of candy because she thought she'd never get it back...despite the fact she could bearly lift the thing.Here she is pictured with her heavy bucket of candy. Proud halloweener!!!!! Some people were not home and just left out a bucket of candy for the kids to take. Rylee didn't want to listen when we said, "Take just one". She interpreted it to mean a couple handfuls. Since it was getting cold and late, we decided to venture back home and inventory her candy. We let her have 2 pieces. She chose a butterfinger and a sucker. She loved the butterfinger better. The next day I took her remaining candy to work. She never knew and still hasn't asked for it. Thank heavens!!!!

Generation of Aprons

I left the kitchen for a few minutes this evening and Rylee decided to dig through some drawers. She came up with the apron my mom had made me when I was a little girl. She wanted to put it on and she thought she was hot stuff. My mom had also made the very same apron for my older sister Aimee, but her's is blue. Remember???? I can't believe we used to be this little.

Pumpkin Hunting!

In honor of the holiday coming up, we decided to go on a search for the perfect pumpkin. We decided to start up at Apple Hill at Ables Acres. Rylee picked out one just her size. We then had a chocolate and carmel dipped apple and carmel marshmellows topped with nuts. They were quite good!!! Rylee had a blast and was able to stick her head through the big apple.

Some Random Day With Daddy!

So while I'm at work Jon watches Rylee and they have some crazy times together. Here are some pics of Rylee dumping her water bottle into her lap during a car ride. Here is the end product of that messiness.

Rylee wakes up every morning and asks for, "Da-Da". I sadly have to tell her he's at work. She misses him so much she wants to be in his shoes!!!!

Happy Anniversary!

We decided to celebrate our 4th year wedding anniversary in Monterey, CA. It was a nice reprieve from the hot weather in Sacramento. The coast was beautiful and cool as usual. We left Rylee for a little R&R, alone. It was weird for me to be away for so long...2 whole days. At first it was almost awkward because it seemed like Jon and I were just getting to know each other all over again...even though it has been 13 years. Wow!!! What a long time. So, we took strolls onto Fisherman's Wharf and down Cannery Way to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. There were beautiful fish to see there, but I think it will be much more worth our money when we can bring our little ones. There were numerous big fat sea lions to see and listen to. For one of our special nights out, we went to the Rocky Point Resturant just outside Carmel (suggested by Jessica and Dan). It had the best view of the ocean and the setting sun. Thanks a ton!!!
