Labor Day
She is always so excited to arrive and when she gets out she goes crazy running everywhere. After 4 hours in the truck, I feel the same way.
Our Camp. I loved this spot. It had plenty of space and shade and pretty even walking for the little one. Taytum and I held down the camp while the boys went hunting. We spent a lot of time here and down by the lake throwing rocks and "mooing" at cows.
Just like her daddy, she spent a lot of time looking through her binos looking for bucks.
Just hanging out in the trailor. This was our friends trailer (who wasn't even there for this trip) and let us use it. I love having a trailer......one day, hopefully!
This dry erase board and markers were a hit on this trip. I lost track of the many faces I had to draw or the T's I had to write.
Playing with her cars in this sawdust was a daily ritual here on the mountain.
One day we had to meet the boys at a certain spot in the trail. We played around this stump while we waited for their return ( 2 hours later than the time we had previously arranged).
You would think she would be afraid to adventure out in the dark by herself but she would walk away from the camp fire a little ways into the dark always telling me "bye" than she would run back to me saying "hi". She played this game for quite awhile one night. After this trip, Kyle returned with Keldon who has the archery tag for another week and though they saw many bulls, the bulls won this year and they came home with fun memories but no bull. The last night they were there and due to a lot of rain and hiking out in the dark, Kyle tripped over a wet log and has now probably separated his shoulder and banged up his wrist so we're off to the doctors to see what we do next.
September Random PicturesBesides the finger painting below, I didn't get much other random photos this month. August and September are always so busy. I have started a new year of Kindergarten and getting back into the routines of things.
One day we got out the finger paints for the first time and she loved it. I love doing things like this with her. She has somehow already learned the letters T, S and H.
She kept looking at her hands and saying "messy".
August - Outdoor FunEmree and Cooper gave this fun sprinkler to Tayters for her birthday so we just had to try it out. School is starting soon so this is one of the last times I will be tending this summer and we sure enjoyed having them come play every week.
Taytum standing in the middle and enjoying the shower.
Such a cutie.
The Hogle ZooTogether with Grandma, Aunt Koreen, and the cousins Mckayla, Sheridan, Sarina and Mia, we all headed to the zoo. It was a great day to go and I think Taytum really enjoyed it.
She's got the whole world in her hands
She pretty much smooshed her nose against every plate of glass as she looked at these wonderful creatures. I thought it was so cute. She didn't want to be in her stroller at all and did well walking pretty much the whole time.
Elephant Encounter. I really liked the elephant show and they could do some pretty crazy tricks. Taytum liked them too.
Giraffes!!
The Greatest babysitters!! Taytum loves each and everyone of these cute gals above and I appreciate them always loving and playing with Tayters.
Cute Picture of Mia and Taytum.
Mommy and Taytum taking a turn.
We just had to go on the carousel since this would be Taytum's first time and she liked it. Every time we would go around she would wave at the crowd and was saying "weee" the whole time.
We really, really, liked the gorilla. He sat there eating for quite awhile and taytum was entranced by him. She can imitate a gorilla and we love to see her pound her chest.
Saying goodbye to the gorilla. He finally decided to go some place else.
The Gorilla statue.
Cute little monkeys!
The famous picture. Seems like whenever I see pictures of the zoo this photo is always among them so we had to have one too. What a fun trip to end the summer with, now switching gears to get ready for work again.
Random August Pics
One day Taytum played "ring around the rosies" with this doll for a long time. It was cute.
One weekend we went camping and this was the only picture I took. Our friends came with their 2 year old son and baby. Taytum and Hunter would press their noses against the screen and just laugh.
One week when I was tending the kiddos we got out pots and pans and had a music concert and it was definitely loud but we had fun.
Gotta love pudding snacks.
Kyle went to the mountain one weekend and was able to take this beautiful shot of this rainbow.
One day as I was painting my toes she was going through all of my fingernail polish bin. Somehow the Halloween lipstick was also in the bin and when I looked she was busy making herself "pretty".
Actually stopping to say cheese to the camera.
Taytum helping me wash the truck. She loved being able to take control of sprayer.
