Love this weather!

Lately, we have been enjoying the beautiful weather! We've been playing outside even though there are piles of laundry, dishes to be done, and dog hair to be vacuumed. We can do that when it turns cold! We usually only get a few good weeks in the spring and fall before it becomes too hot, too cold, and/or too windy!

These are inside pics, but they crack me up! Only Wylie would let Ellie ride him like this!

We have been taking walks and when we get back, Ellie puts her baby in her new baby stroller and takes her on a walk around the driveway. This little stroller belonged to Jasmine and got handed down to Ellie. She loves it! She puts her baby in, pushes for a minute, gets the baby out, repositions her (usually in the same place), pushes some more, and repeats! It's so cute!

Ellie also enjoys playing with our neighbor's cat. She's not really quite sure how to though. She's used to dogs, and I think it kind of freaks her out when the cat rubs up against her over and over. But she likes her and takes off running when she sees her outside.

Another fun things we've done to enjoy the nice weather is visit the Oklahoma State Fair. We took Ellie Tuesday evening. There still isn't a whole lot for her to do, but she shared a corndog and a funnel cake with me. She LOVED the petting zoo and touched and fed all the animals in there. (Don't worry . . . I gave her a Purell bath quickly after.)

This is a baby chick that started hatching right there in front of us!

This is her annoyed face. Like she has time to stop and pose for a picture!

She loved climbing up on this rock all by herself.

Goodbye Summer! Welcome Fall!

At the lake in Logan

This past weekend we went to Ute Lake in Logan, New Mexico. Kyle's grandparents have a lake house there and I hadn't been in 12 years! Me, Kyle, Ellie, and Kyle's parents drove the 6 hour drive there on Friday morning and came back Sunday evening. We hung out, ate Ma's delicious cooking and baking (she made my very favorite chocolate cake!), went for a few boat rides, fed the ducks, watched and fed some deer and foxes, and just visited! Ellie did great and we had a wonderful time!

Our "deer" friend

This deer came by several times. On Saturday night, we sat on the porch and watched her eat the watermelon and corn we'd set out for her. She could see and hear us, but stayed and ate for a good 20 minutes or so! She was only about 20 yards away. It was so neat!

Cutest Cowboy Fan

Today's the first Cowboy game of the season! Kyle and I are headed to the game and Ellie is going to stay home and cheer on the Pokes with her Nana. Of course, she looks like a doll in her new Cowboys outfit (thank you Tiffany, Ryan, and Ryder for the precious birthday gift!). Here's my Cowboy Cutie all ready for the game!

Go Pokes!
