Tub Time at Grandma's!

Little boys smell so good after the tub...probably at the top of my best smells list - clean baby. mmmm. And it even adds to it when Grandma slathers him in baby lotion.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Bring on the turkey!

Dear BMarie, Kirsten, and Heidi

I just wanted to give a shout out to my three loyal readers...You guys ROCK!! Thanks for commenting all the time...it keeps me in touch with the outside world. And you always make my day!

The Count of Monte Cristo

We took a drive to Monte Cristo this afternoon on a whim. It take about an hour to get there from our house. It is up Ogden Canyon, past Snow Basin. We missed the fall colors by a couple of weeks, so we made a mental note to get up there around the first of October next year - because it would be beautiful. There was about 8 inches of snow in some places...uggh, winter is at our doorstep. Anyway, I mostly wanted to go up to try out the new camera. Cam and Austin both got haircuts today...hence the faux halk in Austin's hair...whatever.

This has got to be quite possibly the funniest card ever made...and it goes out to the hubby on his 31st birthday! Austin will now and forever be known as the official birthday card picker-outer VP.

People in Wallyworld were giving me very strange looks as I was laughing...little did they know.

Clint and the Witches

This year All Hallow's eve was spent rendezvousing at the Seamons' residence in good 'ol HP. No one planned on it raining on our parade so trick or treating didn't last very long unfortunately. Austin was supposed to be Clint Eastwood....but his loony witch of a mom forgot the dang poncho at home. Boo. He wouldn't have worn it anyway - who am I kidding? I hate to say it, but he takes after dear old dad in the Halloween department...he's kind of a minimalist to put it nicely. I will try to curve this attitude before it gets out of hand and he is labeled a party pooper forever.

Homemade donuts, homemade cinnamon rolls, hand dipped caramel apples, and cookies all the way from Denver adorned the counter tops all weekend...needless to say I am NOT stepping on the scale this week. All in all, it was a fun filled Halloween, and the kid's loved hanging out and playing. Austin and Livi - we affectionately refer to them as the twins because they are only 6 months apart and totally act like an old couple together had a blast, and miss Hannah had a blast ordering them around and being so kind as to pose for all my picture taking. Kirsten, if I could just borrow her for a couple of months while I learn how to take pictures...she was born to be a model. Anyway, thanks for Ma and Pa Seamons for hosting the wild bash.

I'm in Love....

Hello new Camera...Nikon d90 with 28-70 2.8F lens
Goodbye Canon powershot SD800.

I've been slightly envious of every single person who has a SLR camera for the past two years. I've been kind of dying to get one and finally saved up...and sacrificed every present for every holiday for the next year. If only I knew how to use it....too bad the camera doesn't come with a professional photographer button. Atleast now I can catch a two year old in the act instead of 15 seconds after the action.
