The Pumpkin Patch

On Friday morning me, my mom and BreeAnn took Ryann, Macyn & Austyn to a pumpkin patch in Riverton. While the girls werent the most cooperative for pictures they had fun picking out pumpkins and riding in the wheel barrow. I don't know if we will ever get a good picture of the three of them together.

6 Months Old!!

Our little Chunky Monkey is now six months old. I cant believe how fast the past six months have gone. Where did my little tiny baby go? She is rolling all over the place and today she had her first cookie. At her six month check up she weighed 18 pounds 4 ounces which to us is huge considering Ryann weighed 18 pounds at 1 year old!!

Genola Potato Diggers

We spent most of Saturday at Grandma Star's helping dig potatoes. It was a warm sunny day and the kids had a blast playing in the dirt and helping gather the potatoes. As usual, I took a lot of pictures.

The Big Game!!

Last Thursday afternoon we went to Jordan' big game of the season, the Bingham game. In all Jordan's years of playing football, little league and high school they have never beat Bingham. But not this year!! It was a close game and guess who scored the winning touchdown? That's right Jordan caught one in the end zone with seconds left on the clock. He also made some big catches for yards in the last few minutes of the game. It was pretty exciting to finally beat Bingham. Here are a few pictures from the game. Way to go Jordan!!

Happy Birthday Andrew!!

Last Saturday we went to my nephew Andrew's 4th Birthday party. Here are a few pictures of the celebration!!

A Beautiful Weekend at the Cabin.

We spent Saturday and Sunday at the cabin, probably for the last time this summer. It was freezing cold and either raining or snowing the entire time we were there but we had fun anyways. My mom and dad, Jordan, Michael and Alicia all came up for the night and I'm glad they were all able to make it. We spent most of Saturday night playing on our new Wii, which is way more fun than I thought it would be.

The leaves were gorgeous, especially on Sunday when we were leaving, with the snow covered pine trees. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Ryann's New Pony!!

We are so excited to have found the perfect pony for Ryann, or we think he will be perfect with a little work. Jamison found an add on KSL for this pony and he shouldn't have told me about it because I immediately had to have him for Ryann. He is a 3 year old blue roan Shetland pony and he's adorable. He is broke to ride and also to pull a cart which will be fun for Ryann until she is old enough to ride him by herself.

Ryann is already in love with him and spent about an hour tonight brushing him and combing his mane. Jamison had board meeting tonight so the pony was brought to my mom and dad's house until we can take the horse trailer up to get him. When we left my mom's to come home tonight Ryann was heartbroken and cried the whole way home because she didn't want to leave her pony at grandma's. So hopefully we can go pick him up soon.

Here are a few pictures I took tonight, but they aren't very good because I was trying to take pictures and keep two little girls away from the back end of the pony. He looks black in the pictures but when he sheds out in the spring he will be roan.

The next two pictures are what he looks like in the spring and summer without his winter coat.

This is Ryann and her kitty O'Malley. We have had this wild kitten we got from Grandma Star in our garage for about two weeks and he's finally coming around and letting Ryann play with him. Today she decided to call him O'Malley after the cat on one of her favorite movies The Aristocats. Hopefully this one sticks around.
