Happy Halloween! We love Halloween!!

We went around Grandpa and Grandma Lindstrom's block trick-or-treating. We just went to a couple of houses. I think Lyla's favorite part was the dog she tried to kiss.

She loves animals so much.

Lyla kept showing everyone her candy!

Lyla liked frosting cookies! Yummy!!

I don't like the mess of cleaning and carving a pumpkin so we decided to let Lyla paint her pumpkin. I only had light pink, dark pink and white paint. Not really Halloween colors, but they are Lyla colors!!! She liked it for a little bit, until she tried to eat it so we had to stop.

The Ward Grandparents came for a visit this last weekend!! We went to Shafer Butte to take some fall picture. It was so beautiful!! I love fall time and all of the colors!!

Wants Daddy's Keys! Really wants the keys!! No Keys!

Lyla is so good at walking.

My Dad has never been to a Boise State game and so we went to one while they were up here. We had lots of fun! We are glad they won! The weekend was a ton of fun!! So glad my parents could come up and that I get to go down in less than a month!!!

We went to Berry Ranch in Nampa yesterday with some of our friends. It was so much fun. The weather was perfect and all the kids had a blast. In fact, I think the moms had just as much fun as the kids. Lyla was walking (while holding my hand) the whole time. At one point we were in the back of the pack and kinda far behind and she started to try and run to catch up with everyone else. She is so grown up.

Lyla walked through a pumpkin patch and picked own pumpkin (which I carried). She loved it!
She loved the cows and got so close she was feeding them straight from her had. I just stood her there and she walked towards them and grabbed there food (I thought she was going to put it in her mouth) but she reached out and the cow licked it from her hand. Crazy girl. Or should I be the crazy one for letting her??;-) One of the cows mooed really loud and scared/made Lyla laugh. It was so funny because she couldn't decided if she wanted to laugh or to cry.
She was watching sheep eat and tried to reach through and pet them. Can you see the joy on her face? She loved all the animals.
In this picture she is saying "Ooo Ooo Ooo!" This is the noise she makes when she sees something to wants, needs or really likes. All the kids were lined up along the fence looking at these huge male sheep. The sheep were just laying around and as soon as Lyla got there one got up and went straight to her. Which she loved and freaked out and tried to pet. She really does love animals. The day was perfect!!!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! I know it's early to be showing off our costumes, but I couldn't wait!!! I hate that Halloween is at the end of the month. I like to celebrate it all month long. I love dressing up and I had decided that we were going to do a family theme. Scott and I came up with the Flintstones idea on the same day. I sewed and designed these all by myself. I had never used a sewing machine before. There will probably be more pictures of Halloween later when it gets closer to trick or treat time. "Yabba Dabba DOOO!!"

Lyla is growing up so fast! She is so cute and has such a sweet personality. She is walking and standing by herself more and more. She likes to be outside. I took these pictures in front of our place. Every time she goes outside she looks for this grey cat. She loves animals. Oh and don't you just LOVE her shirt in these two pictures?! Go Cougars!!

Lyla loves to read and eat books. The next kid will need all new books because Lyla has eaten them all. :-) Also, I can't believe how curly her hair is!!! I am so happy about it!! Thanks to her Grandma Lindstrom and her Grandpa Ward for sharing their curls.

Lyla and I walked our 1st 5K. Well, Lyla was in the stroller and ate treats the whole time, but it was her 1st one. We went to the Boise Women Celebration! Grandma Lindstrom took us and we always have so much fun doing girl things together. We had so much fun! It was amazing to see all of those women and children walking and running. There were some crazy outfit and I think we decided to do something crazy for next year!

My Lyla is so cute! We went to the park to take some cute pictures of her. We got a lot...so I only put on a few of them. For the most part she likes getting her picture taken. I love her hair and her big eyes!!! You can finally see her 5 little teeth. I wish she would be brave a walk. She is so close!! I LOVE being her Mom!!!
