One of the sad parts about living in Pacific North West is waters expensive and no one has sprinklers. In our neighborhood everyone's grass is brown all summer and after getting the first water bill after trying to water our lawn we followed suit. We were very excited to find a park with green grass just a short walk away.
I love this mountain...




Sunblock!



So of course we had to share with our neighbor...



I love that our girls get along so well.








Of course no summer is complete with out a trip to the fair. here are a few from that day...





Monchhichi came with us....

Fall rolled in and that means pumpkin patch time! We went with Jonny's brother and sister and our two nephews. They all just adore Peyton. Melts my heart. My camera died shortly after arriving... lol

We celebrated a very special birthday in October.... Peyton turned 1!
I wish I would have taken more pictures of the decorations. I'll have to get a hold of Jessica photos too she took more then me.

I found a link on how to make these from pottery barn kids! I love them. I maked everything so that it would work with her bedroom after the party.

Laura drove up for the party!

My sister was there too!

SOME people think these two will be the in-laws one day..



There's Peyton future boyfriend again...


Here's the one picture I took of the cake Aunt Jessica made before Peyton smashed it.

Finally this Halloween we had a pink kitten. We went around the block and trick or treated a few houses. She looked so cute but I'm also pretty bias....





Phew, that was exhausting. I hope I can try and keep up a bit better from now on... but no promises!
