Days With Leighton

Before baby girl number 2 arrives we have tried to spend as much one on one time with Leighton as we  possibly could. Last weekend wasn't too eventful but we did make a little day trip with her. This weekend I have been looking forward to for about a month now. All i wanted to do was watch Leighton at the Sheep Parade (yes, sheep parade) and take her trick or treating.

Last Sunday we went for a family drive out to the Parowan Gap. Of course i didn't actually take any pictures of the gap and we barely even explored it. The gap was actually kind of neat, just a small gap between two cliffs in the middle of no where with ancient indian writings all over it. We decided to let Leighton and Tiffany explore the dessert a little though and of course our cute girl went rock hunting. Yes, one of the 15 words Leighton can say is rock. She is in love with all rocks and we aren't quite sure why but we do have a little Leighton rock collection building all over the house.

Today was the Sheep Parade and Livestock Festival here in Cedar City. We have made it a little tradition to go to the small time parade every year. Leighton loves watching any parade. Seriously, she claps and waves and is all sorts of smiley. It didn't surprise us at all when she saw Grandpa Penn walking down the road in the parade and she chased after him waving goodbye to us. He said she smiled and cheesed it up for everyone the rest of the parade.

Can Leighton look any cuter for a livestock festival? It was such a beautiful day. Seriously its late October and she was able to wear a little dress, cardigan and the cutest boots ever!

After the parade we headed to the livestock festival to watch the tractor pull. Leighton loves her cousins so much and had so much fun spending the day with them. We wish we were able to see the girls more.  It always makes me laugh when she is around them she never seems to think she is any smaller than they are.

We ended the day with a trunk or treat and Leighton finally got to wear her halloween costume. Another word this crazy little girl can say... Lorax. She is in love with the movie and everything about it. Kaden and i fought over making her a pumpkin or the Lorax. Clearly Kaden won and its a good thing. She thought it was so neat and of course she was a natural at trick or treating. Luckily we are blessed with the sweetest 1 1/2 year old around because afterwards she divided all of her candy up between the family. 

I am so glad that we have had some time to really spend with our little girl before her world is turned upside down. I hope she is ready for a little sister in her life. She really will be such a sweet older sister but i know she will get upset about not having us to herself too.
