Back in Utah! 12/17

Back in Utah, Uncle Adam(Jared's brother) gets married to now Aunt Sara!
We flew this time, Calebs first plane trip and the first plane trip for Owen that he realized we were on a plane.
The first picture... Caleb passed out the instant we put him in the car after the wedding.

Cookie Tree! 12/8

Baking and building a cookie tree together was a lot of fun. I could not figure out why my tree was no where near as tall as when we made them growing up. Next time we will call Nana before we are finished building!

Santa Train too long to wait! 12/5

Santa Train was a 4 hour wait! I think it would have been fun... $16 for a 30 min train ride, Santa, hot chocolate and some elves squished on a train with a million other people but 4 hours was a bit too long and we were an hour away from home. Soooooo we rode this vintage train for free instead and Owen loved it. Next year I will buy the advanced tickets for Santa before they sell out!

Gingerbread houses 12/11

Thanksgiving in Utah

The best part of Thanksgiving in Utah for Owen was getting to play in the snow! For me it was the delicious food! Fortunately I have many many things to be thankful for but mostly I am just thankful that I have these two happy healthy boys.

"Off he goes"

Doug came through vegas on his motorcycle trip and stayed with us a night. We all had a great time especially Owen and Penny. Come again anytime Doug!

More Halloween

Halloween was crazy busy for us. We carved pumpkins in the morning, lost track of time missed a carnival we were invited to then went to our neighbors pre trickk or treat bar b q where Owen Jumped in the bounce house for over an hour! I had to drag him home crying. Next our church party and trick or treat that we had be drag Owen out of bed for, he was so tired after the bounce house! He loved getting candy and devoured the donut on a string. He ignored the rules but got a kick out of watching the boy next him eating his donut with no hands. One of the pics shows Owen looking up at him smiling! Caleb just chilled out and was along for the ride! After that we headed to an after party where they were making more donuts! but homemade and delicious! Really busy but really fun.

Here is a couple pictures from Halloween, I know one needs to be rotated but I did not realize it until I had already uploaded it. I will post more and better pictures soon for you Grandma and Nana! Don't forget you can click on the pictures to enlarge.

Pumpkin Patch

Caleb...
Weaned himself from nursing, I was not quite ready for that. Refuses table food, naps and anything that resembles a schedule, I was not quite ready for that either.

P.S.
I am considering going private.

Lines?

We packed the boys up along with enough snacks and gear to entertain us while we waited in line to get the swine flu shots. According to news and friends experiences we were looking at at least 2 to 4 hours. To our surprise there was no line! I walked right in with the boys while Jared parked and about one minute later we all had our shots.

These pictures have nothing to do with the flu shot.

OK this is the last birthday post

Balloons and Opening presents!

We were so busy playing at the park and eating cake that we forgot to open presents. We were reminded by Owen's adorable little friend Bella just before we left so we opened her gift and saved the rest till we got home. The last two standing at the party each got a balloon to play with, thankfully we tied them around their wrists because about a second later the rest of the balloons were blown away. Then on the way home Owen opened his window and before I could roll it back up his balloon was sucked away, ripped off of his arm. It was so sad, he bawled the entire way home. Fortunately he forgot once we started opening the gifts.

Owens Third Birthday!

Owen turned three! For me it was bitter sweet because my very first baby is growing up so fast. Owen loved it despite yelling the day before he wanted to "Stay home for my birthday".

We had his birthday at his favorite park just like we did last year. All of the kids played, sang, ate cake and seemed to have a fun time. We are so thankful to have so many great friends here to come and celebrate with us. For the Grandparents and anyone who wants to know... keep checking back for more pictures and a run down of the festivities. ( I will post them below this post).
