Our little munchkin

I think today has been the prettiest & nicest day for weather since we've been here. It's almost the end of October and Kylan's still wearing shorts! I could get used to this. We decided to go for a walk in the park before her nap today and it was perfect. Just a little breeze and the leaves were falling all around us. We had a good time.

She looks like she's gonna tip right over doesn't she? Somehow she stays up!

Her favorite is the swings. It think if I'd let her she'd sit in it all day.

The other morning for breakfast she insisted that her 2 biggest stuffed animals, Ducky and Teddy, sit and eat with her. That was a challenge but we made it through breakfast without too much of a mess.

Fall

Living in Idaho I never really new why people would say their favorite season was Fall. I personally didn't like Fall at all. Living in Cleveland has flip-flopped my thinking. Fall really is my favorite season now. I remember in elementary school they would talk about all the different colors leaves and I only remember seeing 2 colors, brown & yellow. I am blown away at how many different colors of leaves there really are! Every shade of yellow, orange, red, gold, some even look pink. I love living here now!

This shot is just right outside our porch, it's what I get to open the blinds and see every morning! Not too shabby 'eh?

These red trees are my favorite, this is right in front of our apartment complex. I'm amazed at how bright they are!

When we came home from the pumpkin patch Saturday the sun was just peaking through these trees behind our apartment and I thought it was gorgeous!

These are of the park that Kylan and I go to. This is just a glimpse of the path that we walk on. It makes me feel like I'm not in the city because it's so peaceful and quiet.

Ward Party

Saturday night was our ward Halloween party. Kylan dressed up as a monkey again this year. The costume fit her perfectly this year.

They had karaoke going on and a friend of ours said that he'd play Settlers of Catan with us if Kurt got up on stage and sang. Well, not only did he have to sing he had to wear his friend's inflatable horse and hat! Oh my goodness, I haven't seen Kurt that wacky in a long time. He sang Toby Keith's "Beer for my horses" which fit the outfit perfectly! He made a complete fool of himself but it was hilarious. A lady in the ward got it on video so I am working on getting that so I can post it on the blog. He wanted to sing Garth Brooks' "Rodeo" as a repeat performance from when he was like 8 but they didn't have the song.

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch about 20 minutes away. It was alot of fun! They had a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin patch, apple orchards, and a store with anything you could imagine made out of apples.

View from the top of the hill, down below is where the pumpkin patch, corn maze, and hayrides were.

Another pretty view from the top of the hill! Aren't the colors amazing?

She looks like a mad mermaid!

Kylan thought the pumpkins were balls so Kurt would hand her one and she would just throw it to the ground.

Kylan's friend Lyza, they're only a month apart. They both know how to cheese-it for the camera!

Us and the Yetters on the hayride, it was a pretty nice day except for the wind so I don't know why Kurt is still wearing his heavy jacket.

The hayrides were pulled by Belgian horses. They were really big! I think this guy was tired, he kept resting his head on the driver behind us.

Ordinary day

So I found this photo editing software that I could try for free and I really like it. You can do some pretty neat things on it so I thought I'd test it out!

Kylan loves to stand at the window and stare a the birds and squirrels.

Lately she has discovered how to open cupboards and her favorite one is with all the pots and pans and bowls. On this particular day she found herself a new chair then right after this picture she tipped over backwards and hit her head and hasn't tried it since!

Yesterday I watched a friends little boy for her and I think Kylan was in heaven! They have the exact same birthday so I was interesting to see how 2 kids the same age have such different personalities already! They had a good time playing together and surprisingly didn't fight at all. Kylan actually cried when he had to leave. I think she gets sick of me and wants a new face to play with some days.

More of Kylan

The Podiatry students had a bbq friday night and one of our friends is into photography and took these pictures of Kylan. I had to put them on here for everyone to see! I thought they were so cute.

Our Week!

Friday we went to a Kiddie Park which is basically an amusement park for kids under 50''. Kylan really loved the 1st ride then we went on a roller coaster which wasn't the smartest idea.

She was fine before we got going. . .

Even as we were going up the hill she was still ok. . .

Then it was all downhill from there as you can see . . .

She couldn't wait to get out!

We tried to put her in these little cars but she wasn't about to be left alone again.

Towards the end she realized it was fun, but by that time we had run out ot tickets.

She wouln't even sit on a carousel horse by herself!

Her new thing is trains so she was really excited to ride this one that just took you around the park.

Last week we bought her some new shoes because her feet are growing extremely fast and now she won't take them off and has to wear them around the house all day! They're "cute" she says.

She thought Kurt's hunting vest was a dress and had to show it off. As you can see she's learned to cheese-it for the camera!
