Happy Halloween!

This was a big week for Lily! She carved her first pumpkin, trick-or-treated and started eating rice cereal for the first time!! We greeted our trick-or-treaters!
How scary is this skeleton??

We carved a pumpkin-its my favorite activity of the year! Can you tell which one we carved? Its the thought that counts...

Happy Halloween!

Our visit to Jackson Hole, WY

This weekend we took a trip to Jackson Hole, WY. It's about 3 hours west of our house. This is the off season so there was no snow or skiing going on yet, but still some beautiful scenery. Here are some pics... These are bronze sculptures outside of the National Wildlife Art Museum. It overlooks the National Elk Refuge.

These are the famous arches at the park in the center of town. They are made of elk antlers gathered throughout the years from the National Elk Refuge just outside of town.


Zack being...Zack. He doesn't know I snuck this one in.

Our visit to Jackson Hole, WY

This was Lily's favorite store... There was tons of shopping! Something I've missed lately... so much fun!

This is the scenery around the town of Jackson, WY. It is at the base of the Grand Teton National Park.

This is the drive from our house to Jackson. Look at the colors of these mountains... even purple, my favorite.

Record snow and a visit from Aunt Kristie

Our little town of Lander, WY. We had 32" of snowfall by the end of the weekend (a record first snow of the year). If you can imagine, nothing closed and stores had plenty of milk & bread. Even James Spann mentioned Lander's record snowfall! (really, he did). And, the snow was just in time for my sister, Kristie, to visit.
Our first snowman as a family. This snow was perfect for making him.
I just had to.

Record snow and a visit from Aunt Kristie

Lily is 3 months old now and learning new tricks everyday. We are so amazed at how much she is growing! Watch out...I'm ready to crawl!
Move over Zack, Lily has the remote.

Let It Snow...

Here it is!! October 11th and our first snow!! It was beautiful. Over a foot of snow fell in less than 24 hours! Suprisingly it doesn't feel as cold as it looks (I'm serious). I'm pretty sure everyone here could tell it was our first time to see some real snow.

My girls.
Amanda double-dog dared me.
This is Lily with her new friend Sawyer. Making snow angels is hard work.
Shoveled the driveway earlier, but I'll have to do it again. I caught Big Orange accross the road this week sawing off his fenders to make room for some bigger 44" mud tires. He's making my 30" street tires look bad.

Fall is in the air!

Lily and I had some fun with the leaves in our front yard.
