Horn Lake Festival

I love the fairs and carnivals around fall time. This was a couple of weeks ago. Rhylan was too small for most of the attractions, but she did try the Carousel. She had been pretty timid about trying new things lately so we let her watch several times first. Turns out she loved it. She was either smiling or laughing the entire ride. We were sad that there wasn't any petting zoo or live stock to check out but she had fun just the same.

Chicken Nugget!

Here is our family at our ward Trunk or Treat/Chili cookoff!

Here is our Little Chicken Nugget!!
It got too hot in that outfit after a while. She looked so cute with her hair standing up with out her costume on!
Once we were outside she loved running around while we waited for the hayride.







It eventually got too chilly to wait any longer (she already had a cold). So we left without the hayride.

We also had to leave before the trunk or treat started so we let Rhylan do some trick or treating at home! She really liked filling her basket with candy. I think she got two hole bags of candy inside of hers.

Bye-Bye

Rhylan's favorite word is bye-bye. She says it over and over and over again! And the rest of these are just fun pictures.

Silly Rhylan

Well it has been a while since I posted just cute pictures of Rhylan so here are a few. Rhylan has this hooded towel that she loves. She loves to open it up and then wrap it tightly around herself. Or just wear the hood part! She is so funny lately.

Our Pumpkin!

Well for FHE we decided to carve our pumpkin. Rhylan was excited to start. She was right in the action until...
Riley opened it up!


Something about the guts was scary to her, or maybe just gross.
She eventually was willing to participate when she had a spoon but this was a rare photo!
Once she got a hold of the knife it was a different story.
We even let her draw her idea for our pumpkin design...We went with our idea instead.



Little did we know, Rhylan is afraid of pumpkins and not Jack-o-lanterns!

I took the challenge

So for Rhylan's age she should eat 2-3 servings of Veggies a day. She east a grand total of 0 serving a day. I can't get her to touch much more than bread, chicken nuggets, and goldfish crackers. I have been looking online for ideas and picking my friends brains. Several people have mentioned this book:
So I checked it out from the library and wanted to try it out. For you who are unfamiliar with this book, it is a recipe book. The recipes have vegetable and fruit purees hidden in the food!

Here are some of the veggies I pureed and froze to use in the recipes. (sweet potato and Butternut squash)

Here was the real test. This grilled cheese sandwich has sweet potato puree in it..........and she loves it!

This delicious applesauce muffin also has oats and butternut squash, and it passed my toughest critic! Even Riley said "these are so good, can I have another one?" I still have a bunch of recipes I am excited to try! If this keeps working for our family I might have to ask for a food processor for Christmas. Try it out, check it out from your library!

Her own spot


I have this little coffee table that matches my living room but didn't fit too well in the middle of the room. So, I put it against a wall and of course if collected clutter. But, a couple of days ago I turned it into Rhylan's little craft table. She has really been interested in coloring, paper, and other crafty things. So I bought her a puppy coloring book, a puppy journal/note pad, some stickers, foam shapes, and constructions paper and put them all in the drawer of this little coffee table. We also picked up this chair at salvation army for her to have a place to sit on the porch but it fits well for this too!

Chips and Salsa

Well there is more evidence that she takes after me. Rhylan has started eating chips and salsa this last week. She likes to dip the chip and suck off the salsa a couple of times before she eats the chip. She must be savoring our (Knight) family tradition. We could eat chips and salsa with every meal.
