October coming to an end...

Well with October coming to an end I celebrated my 25th birthday this last weekend. We celebrated yesterday at Texas Roadhouse with my family and I was lucky enough to get to ride the saddle!! Yee Haw! I was hoping that I was tucked in the corner enough I wouldn't have to get out, but they got me. Thanks everyone for coming!Tonight for family night/my birthday we had dinner at Josh's parents and carved pumpkins. Then we finished the night with some yummy cheesecake! I was definately spoiled for my birthday!!

I also bought my Halloween costume today so there are pictures to come this weekend! I didn't want to be the party pooper, so I decided to just give in and get a costume! Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween :)

Ready, Set, Hunt....

Well as most of you know this last weekend was the opening weekend of the deer hunt. Colton and Jesse headed home from the warm St. George weather on Thursday to join Kayd and my dad for the hunt. Of course Josh was up in the mountains Friday night getting ready for the big Saturday morning. They all had a succesful hunt! They of course weren't too excited about pictures, but they know my mom and me too well! Good Job boys!!

Dustin and Josh headed out.

Random Excitement.....

My dad has this new obsession...cutting wood! Since Josh has been hunting every weekend I have been hanging out with my parents quite a bit. My dad has been cutting and stacking wood every weekend for the last two months like crazy. I remember going and cutting wood on Saturday mornings when we were little all the time, I guess he figures he can do it alone! Here is his pile he has collected:

I had to throw the picture of the pugs in too....They miss Rylee:)

Seems winter is on its way, we decided Chopper needs a new warm home. My uncle sold the farm and didn't need these calf houses anymore and said they would be perfect for him. So my dad made it into a nice dog house. Chopper loves his new home and can you believe how big he is...75lbs!!!

One of my best friends got married over the weekend and it turned out perfect! The weather was perfect for outside, she looked beautiful, and it finally happened!! It was so much fun to spend the day with them. Congrats Justin and Dana!!

Oregon

Two weeks ago I was lucky to take a week off of work and head up to Oregon with my sister and Rylee to help them move :( We loaded up our stuff and headed out on Wednesday night when I got off of work. We drove to Boise and figured that was far enough in one night. We spent the night there and then headed on our way to Corvallis. Rylee was perfect the whole trip, we bought her a travel dvd player and she watched it the whole way and didn't even make a peep. We had a lot to do while I was up there, but we still found time to play! We went and did a bunch of things while I was there. We started out by going to the farmers market on Saturday and the fall festival. Sunday we headed shopping....who doesn't love to go to shopping outlets! We spent the day in Salem at the outlets and on our way home we found a pumpkin patch with lots of activities and even a hayride behind a tractor! Rylee loved the animals and the hayride! Monday we were on a quest to find all the covered bridges we could(they are well known for these in Oregon) and head to the coast. We found some really cool bridges and got lots of cute pictures. When we got to the coast in Newport, it was little on the chilly side, but who doesn't love seeing the ocean. There is just something about seeing the ocean that just gives you a good feeling! Tuesday was my last day there, we headed to the big mall in Portland before I had to head to the airport. I had such a fun trip, but it was definately hard to leave. Especially when we got to the airport and Ashlee took Rylee from me and she cried and cried, yelling Nani, Nani!!! Thanks Wards for a fabulous trip!!! Love you guys!Rylee giving me nose kisses goodbye!
