Happy halloween!

Happy Halloween! This year I decided to do the Flintstones. I always get told that Makaylee looks like pebbles so I decided to make her into pebbles! This is my pumpkin!
This is Brian's pumpkin! We were going to drop it off on out neighbors door but it turned out cute (if you can say that) so we kept it, it was pretty funny!

This is the trick-or-treating group all dressed up (other than Fred)!

My cute pebbles!! She liked trick-or-treating! It was kind of funny for the first few house, I think she was kind of confused as to why people were throwing candy in her bag! But she is her mommy's girl and figured it out pretty quick!

First trip to the zoo!

A couple weeks ago we went to the zoo for Makaylee's first time! I think she enjoyed it, but she didn't seem very interested. Her favorite animal there was the HOUSE cat that they put behind a window and gave an exotic name! Seriously the thing looked like a pet and it was the only thing she even showed interest in!
They have a scale down be the elephants that you can weigh yourself and see how you size up to a baby elephant, an adult elephant, some other stuff and the weight of an elephants waste for a year! All three of them on it still didn't pass the lowest one which was a baby elephant!

I was most excited to see all the new baby animals, this was in front of the baby elephant!!

This is Brian and Jacob trying to comunicate with their distant relatives on the other side of the window!! hehehehe (they are little monkeys)

cousin lovin'

This is Dylan displaying some of his love for his favorite cousin!
These two had a blast while Abby was in town!

I told Makaylee to go give Abby a hug and she ended up planting a big kiss on her!

I have to thank Jordan for making this picture so funny! He was so embarassed to have his cousin give him a hug! Thanks Laura for being a good sport!

She had to chase him down to get a hug from him!

Who loves their families......we do!!!

Stewart falls hike

A couple weeks ago we went on a hike up Stewart Falls, it was beautiful! These are not in order but still beautiful, especially the ones with me in them!! hehehe j/k This is at the waterfall looking over towards Sundance.

The waterfall with crazy people, some were crazy enough to stand under the waterfall!

The babies made the trip without breaking a sweat and Makaylee and Alyssa almost made it the whole way without crying!

I am a sucker for bright fall leaves, fall is my favorite!

This is the crew before we started on the hike! We should have looked the same when we got back cause the hike is not very hard (that is the reason I like it so much)!

State fair!

The little kiddies playing on wiggle riders! Two of the wiggle riders pretty much sat in the same spot but they had fun!
Baby cow!

Not so baby cow! This baby weighed over 2,000 lbs!

Maturation program already???

At least she thinks those are fun!

Makaylee turned 1!!!!

First birthdays are so exciting!! I am pretty sure that I was more excited about her birthday than she was (heheehehe)!!! I started looking at cakes when she was around six months old, trying to decide what cake I would make and what theme I would choose! After all of that, I stole the idea from my cousin Emily, so ........ thanks for the idea!! A couple days before her birthday Brian and I tried to teach her how to blow a candle out, it didn't work!! Oh well, I got to make a birthday wish for her!! Here are some pictures of the night.
This is us singing (good thing I don't have audio)!!!
This is her cake that I am proud to say I made all by myself!! It was so much fun!

We did make her dress up like a ladybug! My friend found the cutest tutu at Swiss Days and got it for her birthday!!

She loved opening her gifts. Yes, i know I look like a dork!

Her new pony from grandma and grandpa (she is still getting used to it)!

The birthday girls! Since Makaylee's birthday was on a Thursday, we threw her birthday party on Friday, which ended up being on Alyssa's birthday! Nothing better than watching somebody else open presents on your birthday!

We, as in Brian, my mom, my brother and myself thought that it would be cute to take her picture with her sitting by the 1 on the 10 yard line at my brothers football game. She hated it!
