Had to start the blog off with this picture taken at the Jones house in Star Valley... "It's cool Mom... just swinging like a big girl".
My parents came to town and we headed up the canyon to Oktoberfest. My parents can definitely get down with the German festivities!! And I've never missed an opportunity to polka with my Dad!!The family- Oktoberfest at Snowbird
While my parents were here, the Ringling Bros/ Barnum and Bailey circus was in town. We were trying to think of something else fun to do while my parents were here and then I came to find out, Gregg had never been to the circus!! Grandma Cherie is a little eh hem... afraid of clowns!) So, we headed to the circus for Kaylen AND Gregg's first time at the circus! And it was actually a really great show! My Dad actually said it was the best circus he'd ever been to!
Kaylen did pretty great... but totally crashed on Grandma Ruby by the end!
We will definitely miss some of our pre-daylight savings/ warmer weather playtime outside!
Our cutie pie in the courtyard house
We met up with our friends, the Harts, to go to Red Butte garden one gorgeous afternoon! Kaylen and Dane loved all there was to play with!

More outdoor playtime in the jean jacket we could rarely get off of her!
Kaylen playing on the bike Grandma and Grandpa Jones bought her for her 1st birthday! Her feet STILL don't touch the pedals!! I think she's going to get her height from her Mommy!
Kaylen hanging out with a few of her friends!
We went to Star Valley for the Columbus Day weekend. Grandma and Grandpa had a GREAT idea to head to the hot spring just outside Jackson Hole to spend a little time! It was a pretty nice day to do it! The water was quite warm, so Kaylen had to take a couple breaks, but it was my first time and they're pretty cool!
After church on Sunday, Gregg and I like to talk the family into eating at Juan's House of Tacos... a little restaurant/house in Thayne (VERY small town where Gregg's family lives) that serves some yummy Mexican food! So, we stopped there after church this Sunday and Kaylen soon created a little game that she found quite funny! She would pull her straw out of her kid's cup and fling it at Grandpa Waz! They both got lots of laughs!
While we were there, Kaylen and I were outside at the fence looking at Grandma/pa's horse, Dodger, when Grandpa wondered if Kaylen might enjoy her first horseback ride!! And she DID!! She didn't want to get off! First, she rode with Uncle Ian and kept saying, "more, more, more". When we tried to get her off just long enough for Grandpa to change the saddle so she could ride with Mama, she was pretty distraught! But soon enough, we got her back up! She absolutely loved it! Hopefully, her love of horses will last her lifetime just like mine!
Kaylen loving on her Auntie Katie
A couple weeks before Halloween, we met up again with the Hart family to pick out pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch! We love to get pictures, plus they have some great things for the kids to enjoy like tractors! This one was one of many!

Auntie JJ came to visit the weekend before Halloween!! Kaylen got lots of great quality time in with her and Goliath (JJ's Yorkie)
Causing a whole lot of trouble, this one!
We love Fall and it was great to share this Fall with Kaylen! She is seeing the leaves, snow and chill in the air like it's the first time!! We'll definitely miss some of the warmer weather outdoor activities, but we'll just have to spend some winter fun outside soon as the snow starts to fall!
