Fall is here and with that, fall clothes! Chicka-rica is high fashion! Here I am going "shopping" just like Mommy does. I have my list, my wallet, my baby, the groceries and something tasty to drink while I run my errands around the house. Anytime I grab my purse and say bye to Mommy, she asks me where I'm going. My response - "erbie," as in off to Grandma's to see Herbie.
We went to Ousel Falls with our friends Amy and Kira while our daddys played golf. Kira is my friend in Bozeman and we like to play together.
Out to the golf course for a fall tour. Gotta bundle up, it's cold! You can't see it, but there was snow on the peaks.
Me and Daddy on his John Deere gator. I sit on Mommy's lap and we hold on tight! My favorite part of going to the golf course is looking for golf balls. I tend to gather things!
This is a few weeks later and it's back to nice fall weather. Squirrel got to come on this golf course visit. He and I both found golf balls! The best part of this picture - even though you can't see it - is that my shirt and pants have squirrels on them (they have the best stuff at Target!) I wear the outfit at least once a week.
Crazy hair!!!
When Daddy comes home after work, he tells me about the animals he saw at the golf course, usually elk and mule deer. I've seen them and they have big ears so every time we talk about them, I pull at my ears! These antlers are what they use for tee markers at the golf course - I'd look funny if they were my real ears!
Late in September, we woke up and found our barbecue grill off the patio. Mommy picked it up and we discovered that a BEAR had nose it off trying to get to the grease pan. It got it alright! You can see the claw marks in the grease. Those bears have to eat lots before their long winter nap, but not off our patio! Anytime we talk about bears now, I always say "NO!"
Christmas tree hunting took a different approach this year. The last years we've gone to Daddy's golf course and trekked out to look for a tree. I usually rode in my sled. This year we have so much snow already that we decided to drive and look for one. We found it! Mommy and I stayed in the car and Daddy braved the snow. 
We watched A Charlie Brown Christmas while we decorated the tree.
Oops.... I was trying to be helpful and put the wisemen for the nativity scene on the tree skirt, but I tossed one a little too hard and his head broke off. Good thing Daddy is good with glue. After that, Mommy said we would wait until next year to put it out. 
Thanksgiving morning started out with the newspaper and breakfast. I went straight for the ads with the toys in them.
Meow meow! I was a kitty for Halloween this year. I figured out pretty quick that if you hold your bag out, you get stuff in it! I can't say "Thank you," so I blew kisses instead.
Our last stop of the night was for a reverse trick or treat. This is my friend, Khan. He didn't have to go out for his treat because I took one to him! He knows that when I'm around, I always have a treat for him.
Last year, Daddy put blue food coloring in the snow. Dad says the homemade blue snow is ok, but not the yellow snow outside! I'm ready for a steady diet of snow this winter; but don't worry, it's a low calorie snack :)
My friend Olivia came to the party. She liked the cake a lot too!
