What a great Fall!

Gregg picked out this super cute fleece outfit for Kaylen and she's so cuddly in it! The little ears on the top of the hood are especially cute! My parents finally did it! They came out to visit Salt Lake and we drove to Star Valley, Wyoming so they could check out Gregg's neck of the woods! It meant a lot to all of us to get to share that with them! It's about a 3.5 hour road trip there and it went well! We had a good visit Friday when we got there and Saturday we drove up to Jackson Hole. My Mom fell in love with the canyon drive up to Jackson!
It wasn't a great day to check out The Tetons and it was especially hard to really see how great the Grand Teton is because of the low clouds, but we at least had to take the picture!

We stopped in at the visitor center, had a yummy lunch at the Mexican restaurant in Jackson and did a little walking around town. We got a great picture in front of the Elk Horn arch, my Mom got to check out the Million Dollar bar with saddle bar stools and to top of their Jackson visit... a visit to the Elks Lodge! I swear, if my parents find out there's an Elks Lodge around, they definitely try to stop! It was wonderful having everyone together! Leslie came from Logan to hang, so it was a wonderful weekend! Great company, great food (thanks Cherie) and good times! Well, I suppose the only downfall to the weekend was Gregg getting super sick on Sunday. We got nervous it was one of the "flus"and didn't want Kaylen to get it, so we went to the ER in Star Valley to make sure it wasn't the flu. Turns out Gregg had a bacterial infection of some kind and got some meds for it. I ended up having to pack the car and drive us back to SLC, but for all the times Gregg has done it... well, pretty much every time but this one, it was definitely my turn! Too bad more of us caught some of it! The only people that didn't get it was Katie, Ian, my Dad and Kaylen! Sheesh! But we're all over that now... Kaylen just has a pretty awful cold!
My Mom is a sucker for great deals, so she bought costumes for a baby before Gregg and I were even thinking about having a baby! But good thing she did because look how cute she is in all of these! We had to have a fashion show so we could see what fit and which ones we liked the most! There is this pumpkin one, a pea pod and a lady bug! She was cute in ALL of them! We'll probably have to find excuses so she can wear all three come Halloween!

We don't have apple orchards here or at least none close that I know of, so we took our sweet pea to the pumpkin patch! She tried to sleep through it, but we couldn't let her do that! She got her picture taken with lots of pumpkins and seemed to enjoy herself! We bought a good size pumpkin that Gregg and I will carve, two littler ones and one tiny one just for our tiny one!
It's been a beautiful weekend here, so we sure made the most of our day! We got professional pictures taken in the morning, had lunch, went to the pumpkin patch and took a walk before dinner! Daddy is going to be busy tomorrow. He's shadowing a Dr in the morning, will come hang out with us for a few hours and then has to work until midnight! But we're sure glad we had him while we did!

Awww little Kaylen is so cute! Looks like things are going well. It's good to see Gregg is measuring up to the gorilla he was meant to be. Let's go throw poop!
