Snow!

Do you remember that excitement of waking up to fresh snow on the ground!?  Isaac is helping us remember it.  We got our first big dumping of snow last weekend-- about 2 feet.  Isaac (and Lodi) loved it! Isaac woke up each morning excitingly asking "Is there more snow to shovel?"  What can we say... he's a worker...

Excited to go shovel snow with Dad

Lots of snow...photo taken from our window

More shoveling...

Sunny skies and icicles from the roof, and tree

Whose this big guy?

We're excited because it looks like the ski resorts will be open for Thanksgiving weekend!

The sun before the snow

We are enjoying the sun before the snow comes to stay for a few months.  Today we did a mini-hike with Isaac and Lodi up Armstrong trail.  To make it fun for Isaac he was on a leaf hunt.  He collected leafs and sticks in his bucket.  When we got home we did an art project with them.  A fun way for everyone to get outside on a Sunday afternoon!

Strong little guy

A "Walking Stick"

Oh No, A Bear! 

Art projects with the leaves and flowers we found.

And a weekend isn't complete without many visits to the park!  He's getting a lot better at climbing these ropes.

Happy Birthday to Me!

We celebrated with dinner out on Friday at a great wood fire pizza restaurant on Main Street.  

The gelato sampler is always amazing.

Waiting for the bus up to main street.  Looking like a big boy in his stylin newsboy hat.

Yum!

More silly faces!

Eric got a gold star by bringing flowers to me at work!

I guess 32 isn't so bad afterall...

Happy Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Seeing as how Isaac celebrated last week at his daycare Halloween party, he was pretty set that today wasn't Halloween.  Likewise, we didn't go out trick-or-treating tonight. But, the little guy did look pretty darn cute this morning in his newsboy hat.

However, by bedtime he was ready to put on the doggy costume again and have a few good laughs with Dad:

Fall Football

After the cool weather in Park City the last week, we happily retreated to Salt Lake City on Sunday to see "uncle" Andy's new house and enjoy some Sunday Football.  The Seahawks lost, but we all enjoyed the sunny weather.

Soccer + Leaves = 2 year old bliss 

Lodi was pretty happy to see his buddy Lehi, and to roll around in the grass and sun too.

Looking like a big boy

Oh, and I chopped off my hair!  Isaac keeps asking me "are you a boy or a girl?" Apparently a pony-tail was a sure-sign of a girl.  We're working on explaining other (age-appropriate) differences too :)

 

A Snowy Halloween Party

Isaac had his Halloween party at daycare last Thursday.  He dressed up as a puppy and fully committed to the character:

"Puppy's don't smile, Mom...." 

This is the puppy "sitting"

Eating like a puppy....

Ah ha! Caught a smile when he wasn't looking.

 Oh, and we had a bit of snow last week!  About 4" at the most.

Main Street starting to look white

A slippery commute before the snow plows got out... and of course, our snow tires are not on the car yet...

Dapper Dudes

Just a cute one of Dad & I.O.

Somersaults

Somersaults with Haven.


 If you listen closely at the end, Isaac will tell you how many somersaults he did.

Fall Activities

Fall has arrived! The colors in Park City are quickly changing from greens to reds/oranges/yellows/browns and fall activities are in abundance.

Last weekend we checked out the scarecrow walk by the big white barn in town.  There are 30 or so scarecrows, all dressed up in funny and spooky costumes.

Last weekend we also went to Isaac's best friend's 3rd Birthday.  Here is Isaac and Haven, the birthday girl:

Today, Isaac and I had a date at Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake City.  They had a pumpkin patch, corn maze and wagon rides (pulled by a tractor!).  Plus, they had a lot of animals to see including goats, horses, cows, pigs and roosters. 

And lastly, a sweet picture of me and my big-boy Isaac.

Where did September go? Here's what we've been up to:

Park Silly Sunday Market & (almost) weekly festivals around town:

Lots of hours spent at City Park:

Visitors!

Don (Eric's Dad) visits for the weekend, and a quick afternoon visit with Oma, Lynn & Rick

 Oktoberfest at Snowbird Resort

Great fun for adults and kids, alike

 And what little boy doesn't love a ride on the fire truck?

And of course, more photos in our picassa album.
