I feel like she's 1 going on 16!!!!!!

Traditions

We went on our second annual trip to the Lee Farm pumpkin patch. It was such a great fall day and so fun to pick out our pumpkins and see all the farm animals. Haylee was in heaven.

This is the pumpkin Haylee picked out. She wanted to find the smallest pumpkin on the farm and I think she did. She hasn't let it go since. She even brought it to church the next day.

Then we had our second annual Family Fall photo shoot

I've learned that we are a pretty unphotogenic family. I think we are much cuter in person, but I love family pictures so we'll keep up with our tradition of fall photo shoots. A big thanks to Stacey, my sister, who was our photographer.

An artist at work

Anyone who knows Haylee well enough knows that she never leaves the house without some sort of drawing utensil in her hand. Whether it be crayons, pencils, pens, or markers she doesn't go anywhere without them. And so it goes in our house. Haylee is usually at the table forming some sort of masterpiece. Weston is actually very artistic but I on the other hand only draw stick figures and they are funny looking. I am so sick of Haylee destroying every shirt she has with marker and crayons so I took the plunge and bought her a smock today. That's it, she is officially an artist. So now if you see us at the store she will not only have markers in hand but she will probably be wearing her smock.

Fall

My adorable, sweet, crazy little love bug! We are so happy that it's fall so we can wear our boots again. This post is dedicated to Ryan and Jessica Smith. Ryan thank you so much for fixing our computer and Jessica thanks for VT teaching tonight. You guys are great!

The past month

this post is going to be boring because I hardly have any pictures of what we have been up to the last month. I always tell myself I'm going to take a blogging break but I never follow through because I love it too much. I was forced to take a break because our computer crashed and ever since we have had it back all of our programs have vanished. I can't even upload pictures right now. It's awful and I never want to take a blogging break ever again. Way back in August (it seems like forever ago) we went to black butte with some of our friends. It was great, we ate yummy food, went swimming, the kiddies went horse back riding, the boys golfed, the girls chatted and we went on bike rides. It was so much fun. Then Weston went to seattle for a weekend to watch a seahawks game. He hasn't stopped talking about Seattle ever since. He loved the city. And I have a big announcement!!!!!!!! I went away for the weekend without Haylee. In all of her almost two years of living I have never left her overnight. I was gone for two nights and it was fabulous. All of my sisters and my mom went to McCall, Idaho last weekend for our women's weekend and it was so much fun. We had a great time and I love being with my sisters. For pictures look at Sally and Colt's blog. We read magazines on the beach, jumped into the freezing lake, did our nails, went to lunch, shopped, watched movies, and of course talked our ears off. Weston was so nervous about having Haylee for two days that he made me lay outfits out for her while I was gone. So funny, but other than that I think they survived pretty well without me. Now that all of our summer travels are done and over we are looking forward to fall and all of the fun festivities around here. And of course we have already had so much fun watching college football. Go Boise State Broncos!!! And BYU!!!!! Today Weston is in seattle again going to a Mariners game and Saturday he is going to the Oregon Utah football game. Isn't his life so tough? Haha, just kidding, he really wishes he could go to every Boise State game! I'm pretty sure we are their number one fans living outside the state of Idaho, especially in Oregon territory.
