Isaac Snowboarding: Day 1

Is 2 3/4 years old too early to start snowboarding?  A lot of "experts" say yes, but we'll let you watch this video and decide for yourself!



On a serious note, Isaac loved the idea of snowboarding and after doing some research we decided to let him skip the skis and go for it! It was the perfect Christmas Day activity (after Santa and presents and breakfast, of course...).

An early snowy Christmas

December is here and the holidays are in full swing!  Isaac's excitement of the holiday season and snow is contagious.  We're having a lovely week-long visit with Eric's Dad, and wish all of the grandparents could be here to celebrate with us!

Snow!  Fun riding fresh powder at Canyons and playing in the snow at home.
Isaac is very interested in snowboarding.  Isn't this is how we all learn?

And that makes me happy.

Not His Father's Son



Disclaimer: No children were harmed in the making of this video.  The father, however, experienced increased dizziness and vertigo from watching his son take joy in the act of spinning.

Thanksgiving Weekend 2012

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We've had quite the fun week.  Isaac was off daycare Wednesday through Friday. I was off Wednesday and Thursday, and Eric was off Thursday and Friday, so we each got a full day with the little guy.  The big snow from a couple weeks ago has melted around town, so we enjoyed playing outside before the winter really hits Park City.  Here's the run-down:

Rainy day bus ride up to Main Street for the usual book store & coffee/ice cream treats

Monkey Business fun with Mom on Wednesday

Pre Thanksgiving walk to rite aid (carousel!)

Practicing skiing with "Loosey the Moose" -- ready for the slopes!

Thanksgiving dinner! (prime rib with the usual sides... green bean salad, creamed spinach, stuffing and sweet potato fries per Isaac's request).  He wore his Thanksgiving hat for a good portion of the day.

At Discovery Gateway kids museum in SLC on Friday with Dad


Soccer Fun at City Park on Sunday 


Excavator (of course)

Homemade play dough was a BIG hit.  He loved practicing cutting with a plastic knife

Also of note, Eric brewed two batches of beer this weekend.  He's been rocking and rolling with brewing lately.  Currently in the pipeline:  smoked porter, sour cherry stout, coffee & cream stout, helles lager, rye lager and Schwarzbier.  It's gonna be a yummy winter!

And of course, the weekend was full of calls and skypes to family and friends.  We hope everyone enjoyed time with family and a few good bites to eat as well.

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...

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

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.

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:
