Saint George!

We just got back from good times and Thanksgiving in Saint George.  Every time I go there I am not ready to leave and I find myself plotting how we might move there.  How did it take me 26 years to figure out how fun this place is?  We spent the days swimming, hiking, biking, motorcycle riding, rhino riding, all mixed in with a little R&R too.  Not to mention several trips to In-and-Out.  I don't think anything holds as much childhood nostalgia as hiking on the red rocks and there is endless amounts of hiking there.  We are already plotting the next trip...

Jesse and His Faces

When ever a pull out the camera, Jesse will never just smile. It always comes out something like these...

Who's impressed?

I wanted to send the play group kids home with a Thanksgiving treat, so I whipped this up.

And you thought I wasn't domestic.

I even made the frosting.

Play Group!

My new calling is the "Day Time Enrichment Leader" with the focus on young mothers--I think they made this one up. Anyways, I am going to start a play group on Fridays at 10:30 at my house. So if you want your kiddos to tear up someone else's basement, come join the par-TAY. It will usually be casual but sometimes I will make up some holiday activity or something. Anyone and everyone is welcome, and hopefully a few "wardies" show up. If you don't know where I live email me and I will let you know...

Cute Cousins

Last week Wyatt's cute cousin Caleb who is just 6 weeks older was in town.  Wyatt has grown so much I thought that for sure he would have caught up to Caleb, but not quite.  We had to snap a few of the little buddies together.

Caleb kept trying to play with Wyatt's hand, and Wyatt was oblivious to it all.

Halloween!

Halloween was a party!  I think we hit up just about every pumpkin patch in the valley, went to all sorts of birthday parties and Halloween parties, and of course went Trick-or-treating.  The kids loved it all and I am exhausted.  J was spiderman, Faith was a fairy until she saw that her cousin was Cinderella and then she demanded to be Belle, and Wyatt was a monkey.  I even ventured to dress up as a fairy for some of the occasions too.
