Catch Up

Alright, since I haven't had much time for blogging (or much of anything else) I figured I needed to just catch up all at once. Here are some pics of what we have been up to.
I finally got Ash's bed done; I also got Ky's dresser painted but no pics of that. I think Ash's bed turned out so cute.
 
 The girls enjoyed spending time with Lyvi during spud harvest. I enjoyed sleeping in, well sort of.
 We have had some gorgeous sunrises.
 Lyvi has started to cruise in her walker, she loves it. She also thinks we are funny when we get so excited because she moves it.
  Mar took Ash in to get her hair highlighted. This was her b-day present to Ash. We weren't on board with this at first, but decided you have to pick your battles. She looks cute as always and I love the way they styled her hair.
  The girls earned more ribbons during skills week. Kami got 4 and has been doing awesome with her back-handsprings (spotted). She was so happy. Kaite finally earned her green ribbon. She had to do a cart-wheel dismount off the beam and get her windmills down on bars. If she gets her standing back-handspring (solo) and middle splits down she will get her blue ribbon, she is working hard.
(The girls have different skill charts so a green for Kami is different for Kaite)

Two weekends ago we headed up to look at the leaves. Once the smoke finally cleared out I could see that the hill was all lit up with the fall colors. We had fun and the girls really enjoyed it. The pics don't do the colors justice.
 We stopped by the cabin and put the boat away, here is a view of the river from the bridge.
 More colors
  We stopped by upper falls on the way home. Kaite was giving us the grand tour since she just had her field trip there a couple of weeks ago.
 Us girlies
 The falls
 So I was really excited to see the red leaves and this was one of the only pics I got of them.
 The sunset was gorgeous!
 
 The mountains in the background.
 
 We had a fun trip and we even saw a skunk crossing the road, the girls loved that. Ky honked at it and it tried to spray the Tahoe....silly boy!

 Ash had her friends party awhile ago. I let her invite 7 friends (not sure what I was thinking). They had fun hanging out at the barn. They ate pizza, played games, and had fun.
 
 And there were presents.
 Silly girls... Camille, Kenadee (her BFF), Ash, and Azlynn
Kaite and Mar playing Cory's xbox.
She had a fun party and I am glad it is over!

Okay so I think I am caught up. Oh except for this last weekend. We spent Friday night at the barn watching Avengers. The girls were so excited Kaite can't stop talking about it. They watched it 3 times in a couple of days. Mar and Cory joined us for a few nights of dinner (homemade lasagna) and a skunk spraying! Yep, last night Cory was lucky he didn't get sprayed. I think the skunk was on the deck when he cracked the door open it sprayed the house and wow did it stink (and still does a little bit). He is so lucky! I used a whole bottle of vinegar trying to get the smell to go away, but we still can't open the deck door. Ky is going to try to get it tonight.
 That is our crazy life for now.

Goodness gracious... you and your skunks!!! Your skunk stories always make me laugh! I'm loving the red leaves this fall. They are stunning here, too. Last year they were pretty lame from having such a wet year... but this year they are making up for it!
