Fall Fun

Fall is always one of my favorite times of the year, and living in Las Vegas has made that even better! The weather cools off from the blazing summer heat, but never gets cold enough to have a true chill in the air, and we take full advantage by going out and doing as much as we can outside all fall long!

Lots of places pop up in the fall with little carnival rides and pumpkin patches, Easton loves the rides and begs to go back to the 'pumpkin party' or weeks after they have all closed up shop!

with the Gatewoods and Cowdins at the 'pumpkin party'

watch out for Easton and Kru!

Easton had dad help him go down a good handful of most the rides, what a great sport 'eh?

what's better than blow up toys?

Headed over to Steak 'N Shake for dinner afterwards

Watching airplanes all day every day!

Another 'pumpkin party' with the Pettitt's

we took Auty to Sweet Addiction for her birthday, and for some reason I only have a picture of Easton....sure is cute though!

plenty of Girls Nights Out keep me completely sane, Taly's birthday dinner was no exception! Went to dinner at Yard House in Town Square, followed by shopping, AND Haley announced she was pregnant with her third babe...Romie!

Ryan's 28th Birthday

I honestly can't remember what we gave Ryan for his birthday this past year, but I do remember that Easton was SO excited to help decorate the house, loved all 28 of the balloons, and couldn't wait to help blow out the candles! It was so much fun to celebrate with just the three of us, sweet and simple. I think that weekend we went out to see a movie and probably got dinner too...something super fancy ya know!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Happy Birthday, right when he walked in the door!

How excited is Ryan for date night??

Little Helper

Easton has become a little helper to me, always asking "what I can do?" and if he sees me in the kitchen getting meals ready, most of the time he will push his chair over, climb up by me and say, "Oh I can help you!" It's more of a hindrance than a help most of the time, but I love that he wants to help out, and I'll take it now while he is young cause I'm sure one day in the not so distant future, he will want to do anything besides help his momma do...ANYTHING!

Park City Girls Trip 2013

Park City didn't disappoint again this past year! Lots of delicious food and treats (a couple extra pounds, but totally worth it!) We did a lot of damage to the outlets, and had a super successful shopping trip, got lots of things for Christmas gifts, and of course had a lot of fun hanging out and just being together. Julie brought little Claire since she is still so new, and it was so much fun to get to spend time with her and steal so many snuggles!

This year was a great year because at dinner we all discussed the idea of starting up a boutique all together, we have since then been open online since November and we are doing great! It's so much fun to talk between each other on a daily basis, and we are so excited to see where RubyClaire Boutique will take us!

Ready to go our to dinner!

dinner at Fuego, (where RubyClaire was born!)

little Claire, such a beauty!

"most" of the bags, that we could fit into this photo at least!

Road Trip to Utah

When I heard Haley was going up to run the Top of Utah Half Marathon, I knew I had to go with! To cheer her on, and also see my family that I always am missing so much. It was such a fun trip up, and we saw so many people and did fun things the whole time!

Boone loved the walks we took.

BOONE

Little Booner-man....my life is now complete with him running around the house! I've begged Ryan for a dog since day one of our marriage, and finally the right pup came along! Our friends Jake and Haley got him as a puppy and we watched him once for them while they went on vacation. I fell in love with him then, and was so sad to give him back...lucky for me (and sad for them ) it didn't work out for their family to have him around. So since we had already given him a 'test-run' I jumped on the chance to adopt him and make him my own! 

It's been such a fun year with him, he's a little hyper, especially when guests come to the house, but he will get better and better with age! For now, we are loving him in his puppy stage, and Easton is loving to have a playmate!
