St. George

We had a great weekend in St. George for Thanksgiving.  We were able to have Thanksgiving dinner and of course watch the USC game with the Prince family.  Our dads went to dental school together, so it was fun to spend some time with their family.  We also biked around St. George and Zions.  It was such a fun trip and the weather was amazing.  Jack was so great and loved riding in his bike trailer. 

Happy Birthday Lesli!

It was girls night out at the Carrie Underwood concert for Lesli's Birthday.  We had such a great time.  I am so lucky to be part of such a great family!

Halloween

Jack had a great Halloween this year.  We were in Florida last year for Halloween, so this was his first year to really trick or treat.  He loves Meerkats (I know...very random).  It all started with him wanting to know what kind of animal Timon on The Lion King was and then he became fascinated with them at the zoo.  We were looking at costumes online, I found a meerkat one and that was all he wanted.  So, he was a meerkat for Halloween.  It was pretty funny because nobody knew what he was.  He loved it though and still wants to wear it everyday.  I have to admit, he does make a pretty cute meerkat.

Circus

We were so lucky to be able to go to the circus last month with Grammie, Wyatt, and Ammie. Jack loved every minute. I have never seen him sit still for so long. He especially loved the elephants. He has such a fascination with them and could not wait to see them. I have to admit, they were pretty cute.

Hair Drama

Alright, so I have been so nervous to take Jack to get a haircut.  His hair was getting so long and he can't sit still for me and my mom anymore.  So, I finally broke down and took him to this cute kids haircut place.  The girl asked me what I wanted and I told her I liked it shaggy, but he just needed a trim and to have it cleaned up a bit.  So, she starts cutting...and cutting...and cutting.  I was in shock!  Where did my little boy go?  Now he looks (and acts) like such a toddler.  I am so sad.  Oh well, at least it grows back.  It looks like I won't be taking him for another haircut any time soon.

KC Babysits

Don't get me wrong, KC is usually a great babysitter.  However, today I came home from work to find him watching Alien vs. Predator and Jack (with a dirty diaper) like this...

KC took this picture about 10 minutes before I came home...

I think I am going to give KC a break from babysitting for a while.  

Fall

Every fall in Park City, people make different scarecrows and place them along a trail.  It is pretty fun to go see them, some people get pretty creative.  It had been raining for the past two days, so some of them were a little soggy.  Jack has been watching Monsters, Inc. lately, so he was pretty excited to see a "Monsters" scarecrow.  Now he thinks all scarecrows are called Monsters.

Random Act of Kindness

Jack and I were at the store yesterday and Jack was throwing a bit of a tantrum... he is definitely 2 years old.  So, this older man who was just shopping in the store saw him and asked me if he could have a balloon.  He pulled a ballon out of his fanny pack and made Jack a ballon dog.  It was so random, but Jack absolutely loved it!  He thought it was the greatest thing ever.  What a nice man!

Roadtrip

Jack and I hitched a ride to California this past weekend with my parents.  Jack had a lot of fun riding bikes along the beach and playing in the sand.  Sometimes I really miss California (especially during the winters here), but it is always fun to visit.



This is what happens to people who are deprived of In n Out.

Birthdays!

We all had great birthdays this summer.  Here are some highlights...

We Moved!

We put our house up for sale by owner in July thinking that we would have at least 6 months to find another place to live and it sold in 9 days!  We have been busy packing and moving the last couple of weeks.  Since it happened so fast, we are moving in with my parents until we find a place.  This means putting most of our stuff in storage which has been fun.  Hopefully we will find a place soon.  I think my parents were rethinking their decision to let us move in once they saw us invading their house.  Natalie was also living with us so she is now moving back home too.  Neither of us thought we would be in our twenties and moving back in with the family.  It should be fun though.  We will definitely be doing a lot of cooking and baking.

Orlando

We went to Orlando last week with my family. My dad, mom, and I had to go to meetings for part of the week, but we still managed to have some fun. Nick, Jack, and KC went swimming at the pool at our hotel almost every day. It was so hot and humid, so it was the only way to stay cool. Jack loved DisneyWorld. We could only stand going there in the morning or at night because of the humidity. We are such wimps because we are used to the dry weather here. Jack especially loved the Animal Kingdom. His two favorite things in one place-wild animals and Mickey.

First waterskiing trip of the summer!

Our first time out on the boat this summer wasn't until June 28th.  I seems like it has taken a long time to get warm here this year.  Well, we did go at 8 in the morning, so it was still a little chilly.  Jack had a lot of fun and he was so good to wear his life jacket the whole time.  The water was really cold and Jack still wanted to put his feet in.

Random Pictures

KC went on a backpacking trip in June and Jack was hoping he could go with.

Passed out in his favorite chair.

Jack loved watching KC's lacrosse games.

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland in June with Nick's whole family (there were 20 of us!).  It was so much fun.  Jack had such a great time with all of his cousins.  Thank you Grandma Summers for such a great trip!

Nat's Graduation

Yeah! Nat graduated from the University of Utah in May.  We are so proud of her!

The Hogle Zoo

We also went to the zoo while Nick was gone.  Jack loves animals and always has so much fun at the zoo.  Thanks to Randi for taking such great pictures of Jack.  I guess we weren't too into the animals because all the pictures are of the kids.  Oh well, the kids are much cuter.
