Cute Fall Pics

Here's some cute pics of (you guessed it......) Milan!

THE Big Yellow Cow

Grandma Kat gave us the Big Yellow Cow a couple of months ago and Milan has seen it off and on since then. Just last week, Dave and Milan discovered that the big yellow cow was the coolest toy ever. Milan loves to be thrown on the cow over and over and and ride the "bucking" cow! Now when Dave comes home from work, Milan drags the cow to the middle of the living room so that Dave can't miss it :). Thanks Grandma Kat for the hours of enjoyment!

GO COWBOYS!

Saturday Dave and I had an awesome date! We got up bright and early to ride the 'Cowboy Fever' Bus to Laramie for a Wyoming Cowboys game. The bus has a VERY LOUD train horn that made the drive and the cruise through town a BLAST! We tailgated and had GREAT food then watched the game (thanks Deejay for the grape salad....yum!). Even though we lost, we had fun and learned the cheers for next time. We stopped for dinner on the way home, then pulled in the driveway at 10:30......definitely a long day. THANKS to the Sorensens for such an awesome time!
Here's the group who rode the bus.....

Aw, what a cute couple :). Dave's sporting his new sweatshirt :)

We Miss Jen Wiley!

Back in 1999, I was a park ranger for Honeyman State Park.....it was not the most glamorous of jobs since I had to wear forest green high-waisted, tapered-leg pants everyday and clean bathrooms. However, I did meet Jen Wiley and even though we have both lived all over the country, we have been friends for almost 10 years!! I completely forgot how much fun we have until she came to visit us for a week! Milan LOVED Jen Wiley's visit and refused to take naps because she was having so much fun hanging out with the "big girls!" We have missed her, but luckily Dave and I will be flying to Seattle for her wedding in 2 weeks...yea!

Milan and Jen Wiley at the Park (Look at that styln' blue visor :)

Playing in the yard

We all took a trip to Green River to walk along the river and we took some pictures along the way.....

SPLISH SPLASH!

Since fall is here, I thought I'd post some of our latest swimming pictures before it starts to snow.........

Milan's hiding in the tower of water :)

Yea for Visitors :)

A couple of weekends ago we had visits from Aunt Marie AND Grandma Kat, Uncle Bob, and Jack all at the same time. We only got to see Kat and Jack for half a day, but really enjoyed their visit (hopefully next time they can stay longer :). Marie stayed for almost a week and we enjoyed playing in the sun. Unfortunately, Marie was sick for part of the trip so I took Milan to "Wyoming's Big Show" to see the animals while she rested. Marie even missed John Michael Montgomery in concert, but I was luckily able to see him in all his glory.....

Milan liked walking around the fair and waving at random people. She also enjoyed the animals from the safety of her stroller. Here are some huge bunnies!

Milan liked to watch the goats lick her stroller and even mustered up the courage for a couple of quick pats.

Petting the stingrays....Milan loved this part and wanted to climb into the water to catch the stingrays!!


The next day Marie was feeling better so we headed Green River for some fun at the splash park. Here we are at Arctic Circle waiting for our shakes (they are my favorite part of Green River after all :) Milan found some cool saddle seats!

Milan was 'too good' to sit next to mom and Aunt Marie. It was a pretty busy day so Milan was too intimidated to play at the spray park, but we did have a blast climbing on the jungle gym.


Here we are playing with the hose and the pool in our backyard.....SO FUN!



Milan and I were eating chocolate ice cream on the back patio. Milan loved the taste and insisted on carrying the spoon everywhere.


I LOVE the cute wet footprints on my concrete!

All Fancied Up

Milan opted out of naptime (because she sometimes prefers to quietly play in her crib rather than sleep even though she is very tired) so I decided to put her in a cute dress and take her to some pretty spots for some pictures.




I couldn't keep Milan away from the park, so we spent the afternoon playing in her pretty dress :)
