Every Hair Stylists Dream!!!

Every Mother who is also a hair stylist dreams of having a little girl with perfect hair!

I am lucky Lyla has amazing curly, long (for her age) hair!

Oh and she lets me do pretty much anything I want with it!:-) This morning like most mornings she found hair things. I put a headband on this morning to fancy up my pony tail (I am in desperate need of a hair cut) and Lyla wanted one too. Every time her headband falls off she brings it to me so I can put it back on. She is so silly!! Here's to hoping she will always let me play with her hair!!!

Autumn in Boise Idaho is so beautiful! There are so many trees!

We went to Albertson park to take some pictures.

I think every photographer in Boise was there taking family pictures!

So many people! We didn't stay long, but we got a few pictures. :-)

Lyla isn't liking pictures so much lately. She wants to run and not hold

still and smile.

We take pictures anyway.

Lyla LOVES her daddy! I think it's because he's always doing silly things to make her laugh or letting her climb all over him. Whenever he is around she follows him and laughs even when he's not doing anything funny. It's fun to see them together. She is getting really good at saying 'Da Da' and recognizes him in pictures. When Scott is on his way home and I ask her where her Dad is she goes to the front door and runs across our deck to meet him at the top of the stairs. The whole time she is pointing, laughing and looking for him.

Look at how cute she is!!! ;-)

I LOVE that Lyla is walking and running around!! I love love love it!!! She is 15 months old and weighs almost 30 pounds!! She is too heavy to carry around and she needs to run off some of her baby fat!! (BTW I LOVE cubby kids!!!) Lyla loves to play in the leaves!!

I can't wait for snow! Lyla loved it last year and she couldn't even play in it!

This year is going to be so much fun!!!

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.
