October

I know i said i would better about writing more often but it seems that life just doesn't ever slow down anymore! Since i last wrote, we have had a lot happen. Rylee is now crawling all over the place, pulling up to standing using everything, and walking holding onto furniture etc. I'm sure she'll be walking before Christmas this year! She has a good influence that takes her bottle and walks off with it called Leila. Leila is our friends daughter who is roughly 4 months older than Rylee (even though Rylee is bigger than Leila, i have a big daughter!), and learned to walk really well a few weeks ago and now when Amy (Leila's mom) and i go to the gym, Rylee and Leila get to play together so therefore Leila gives some good motivation to learn to walk soon since her bottle keeps being taken away! It's pretty funny to watch though.

Girls swim/ diving season is over now and they did okay at state. Not what they usually get from what Ryan tells me but hey i came from Riverton where I'm used to losing so 4th place doesn't sound so bad. But i guess they usually take first or second at both conference and state and they didn't get higher than 3rd at either of them. But i guess they lost a bunch of seniors that were really good so it's bound to happen every now and then.

We also went to Riverton twice within a week to hunt and then for Halloween. We got 6 antelope in one day, yes i said 6 in one day! It was a little frustrating though because i hadn't hunted in ... oh.... i don't know... 4 years. So i was a little rusty, and i lost our licenses for about an hour before we saw them on the side of the road.But we made it through the day and got them all so we wouldn't have to go back out the next day. We all said we got 1 1/2 because we each got 1 good sized and 1 fawn. All in all we have a good amount of meat and we've been loving the jerky. The next weekend we went back up to Riverton for Halloween. Ryan's sister Jenni likes to throw a Halloween party where everyone including the adults have to dress up. Ryan, Rylee, and I were crayons. Ryan was red i was blue and since those two colors mixed make purple that's what color Rylee was. Jenni was the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, Chad was the tin man, Chloe was Dorthy, and baby Marshall was the cowardly lion. Debbie was a pink lady from Greese, and Shawn was a bum grocery cart and all. Amber's family was a bunch of different things. Amber and Chuck had..... ah... funny costumes. They were an outlet (Amber) and a plug-in (Chuck). The kids were a clown (Michael), a witch (Tally), a ninja (Cobey), a pumpkin (Brooklyn), and a power ranger (Carlos). Jenni had a scavenger hunt for the kids and we ate blood and guts (spaghetti), and then went to Grandma and Grandpa Treese's to show off all the costumes. I unfortunately forgot my camera so I'll get the pictures up after Thanksgiving when i get them from Debbie. More to come soon when i get all the pictures from everyone.
