Fall Fun

I guess that you can call it Fall...we've had a really WARM fall so far, and Taylor still enjoys playing in the water with her friends. She keeps asking to go to the pool, and doesn't understand that it is closed for the winter! She and her friend Malia really enjoyed riding her little car in this camping tote that was filled with water!
The real fall fun has been juicing and canning!! We went with Rob's parents one weekend and have quite the supply of Elderberries and Choke cherries. The next week, I went with my friend Kelly and we accidentally stole some grapes!! Ooops!!

A friend of ours told us that the grapes juice much more quickly on a propane stove, so we fired up the camp chef (thanks to Kelly) and juiced all day long! You would think that we would be sick of juicing...but we're actually hoping to get some more grapes...legitimately! :)
I feel like Jordan always gets left out!! She's definitely a second child because she has about 1/100 of the pictures that we had of Taylor by the time she was Jordan's age!! So I just wanted to throw this one in of her! She loves to chill in her car and watch Taylor play! She is 8 months now and is moving all over the place and she can't wait to be as big as her big sister!

Labor Day Hiking

We decided to go hiking the Saturday before Labor Day with out great friends, Angie and Spencer. Angie and I hadn't seen each other in a while and started talking and hiking....and...

here we are at the top of the Y...with Jordan....

And here are our husbands, with Taylor, at the bottom of the Y!! We waited for them for a while and then we finally called them and they decided we should just hike down and meet them.
Taylor kept herself busy playing with rocks while the boys rested!
She was glad when Angie and I got down to them! She was excited to play with Angie's water bottle. It was a fun hike!

My Girl...Tay!

Tay went to the dentist for the first time today. I had my teeth cleaned first and she thoroughly enjoyed watching; they even let her push the button to take my x-rays! She was a little nervous at first, but let the dentist check her teeth and even sat still long enough for them to polish her teeth. Of course it helped that Dora was playing on those glasses!!

Tay also had another first this summer...her first official hair cut. We were visiting my parents in Casper when I went to get my hair cut, and Grandma was nice enough to offer to get Tay's hair cut also. She talked about her hair cut for at least a week!

She loved playing with Grandma in Great-Grandpa's hammock.

This is Tay with her friend Brooklynn at 7 peaks. Taylor became quite the fish this summer and still asks to go to the pool even though it is closed for the winter.
