Grandma Cindy's Christmas Party

Grandma Cindy threw an AMAZING Christmas party this year.  It was complete with fun activities for the kids, glasses to wear and games to play!  She even had a photo booth for us to take pictures in!  Here are the highlights!

Christmas Dance recital

I had my first dance recital with RDC in December!  Grandma and Grandpa Richey even drove out to watch me tap!  Here are some pictures from the show!

Thanksgiving in Reno

This year for Thanksgiving we went to visit Pat, Kristen and Tyler in Reno!  It was so much fun! We drove to Las Vegas first to pick up Jen, Michael and Jason.  We had a weekend filled with playing at the park, enjoying time together at the park, opening early Christmas gifts and just enjoying time together.  It was SOOOOO great!

Good Bye Great Grandpa Chase

My Great-Grandpa was a great man!  He always wanted to hear what was going on with us, he would make us laugh, treat us to yummy dinners and always come to our events at school.  I will miss his smile, his happy laugh and his hugs.  I know that he is in heaven with God, but we will miss him!  Love you great-grandpa!

Trick or Treat time!

Halloween time is my favorite time!  I get to dress up and go trick or treating to different houses to get candy!  This year I really wanted to be Snow White.  Wyatt wasn't really interested in his costume so he went as a football player!  Daddy got to be his coach and mommy was his cheerleader.  Just like we always did, Ryder and I went down to Grandma and Grandpa Chase's house to help pass out candy! :)  These are such fun memories.

Oktoberfest

Every year the town of Montrose hosts an Oktoberfest celebration.  There is lots of good food and fun rides!  We had so much exploring and enjoying the rides!

Craft time!

There is nothing like making crafts for the holidays!  While mommy made pumpkins to decorate the house, my cousins and I got to make spider cupcakes and paint our hands and feet for different pictures.  We had so much fun!!

Pumpkin Carving Contest

Every year Uncle Trav and Aunt Dre host a pumpkin carving contest.  This year mommy, Ome and I made really yummy treats to share too!  I had so much fun carving pumpkins with our family!

Mommy vacations in Maine!

For Aunt Dre's and Mommy's 30th birthday they went to Maine with their moms!  After seeing all these pictures and the beautiful colors that are there, I think that I want to go to Maine.

I am glad that mom and everyone had so much fun!!  Maybe they will get to do it again one day!!

First Day of Preschool

Well the time has come for our little girl to start preschool.  I am so thankful to have found a co-op in town where I can work in her classroom and be a part of her learning.  She was SO excited to be in school with her cousin Ryder!

Uncle Merlin and Aunt Marge

 Sitting in their backyard posing for mom by the lake!  My mom and Uncle Trav used to fish and play here too when they were kids! Uncle Merlin's farm is so cool!

 Wyatt got to play with the tractors! Uncle Merlin had a lot of them because he used to be a dairy farmer!!

Wyatt and Uncle Merlin playing catch!  Grandpa buyer is smiling down from heaven!

Exploring Ohio

 I got to "drive" the buggy in Amish country! (She thought this was amazing!)

Along the way to Aunt Bonnie and Uncle John's house we stopped at a local farm and pumpkin patch!  Wyatt and I thought it was so cool to pick our own pumpkins on a real farm!!

Hayley and Matt get hitched

Hayley and Matt's big day was beautiful!!! Makenna and Ryder loved being a part of their big day!!  Here are a few pictures from that fun day!

A trip to Ohio

Guess What?  Mommy's second cousin Hayley asked me to be the flower girl in her wedding!  We had to take a trip to Ohio for the wedding!  here are some pictures from before the wedding!  G.G. took me to the Ohio State University campus and showed us where she and grandpa lived!  We got to see the stadium and get some new outfits.  I really liked it there.  Another cool thing about Ohio is the country side.  We got to play outdoors, see barns and explore!  I like Ohio!

Our little girl turned 4!  She asked for an Ariel birthday this year, so what better way to celebrate than at the beach!  She got a pretty amazing birthday present from Ome, Papa, mom and dad this year... PUPPIES!  Here she is holding her new love, "button".  We are so glad that so many family and friends could come and celebrate with us!  

THANK YOU!!
