Pineapple Joy

This boy loves fruit.
Mmmm, pineapple!!!
Notice the big blue/green bruise. He walked into a display at a store. I don't know what to do with this boy, he walks into everything. When that bruise was finally gone, he ran into the dinner table....!!! And then a couple of days later lost his balance on the step stool and seriously, flew into the corner of the counter!!!

My Two Superheroes

These are my two superheroes!!! Ty kept walking around asking if he could do stuff for me. Please note that their hats are my potholders and theirs capes are my dishtowels.

Wheeler Farm with Joy School

Laney is doing Joy School with some of the kids from the ward, and for one of the field trips we went to Wheeler Farm. We had so much fun. I only posted my two favorite pictures because of my marathon posting today....
I love this picture of Laney and her little best friend. So cute. It wasn't even posed or anything.

Can You Reach Your Nose with Your Tongue?

I can! And so the kids wanted to try as well....here's Laney's attempt....
...and Ty can actually do it too. Yay!! My fellow nose-licker!!

The First Snow of the Season

As you can see the first snow in the valley fell on October 12th, 2008.

Little Weirdos

Okay, so Ben asked Laney if she could hold the two light bulbs for a second and she started dancing around, like this interpretive dance with the light bulbs.So of course, because Laney was doing it Ty wanted to do it too.
Ta-daaaaa!!
The kids were getting out all the winter gear and Ty tried on Ben's hat.

Secrets and Hopscotch

These two love telling secrets....
and playing all day long!

Playing with Water

Our kids just love playing with Ben's nephew, Braiden.

The boys were spraying water out the window through the screen and had lots of fun.

Alphorns at Snowbird

Oktoberfest at Snowbird

We like going to Snowbird in the fall when they have German Oktoberfest and get a bratwurst and pretend we're in Germany. So we went this year and they had all kinds of fun things to do. The kids jumped on a big castle-jumpy-thing.

And slid down...

Then we took the short ski lift up. We didn't tell the kids they were getting on the ski lift 'cause we knew they wouldn't want to. But as soon as we got on it, they loved it.
Then we went and had some bratwurst while listening to the German music in the background. (Notice Ty in the background biting into a pickle...he ate the whole thing.)
Laney eating her overpriced bratwurst!!!
Laney and Ty sharing some cotton candy.
After we were done eating we took the tram up to the top of the mountain and saw these people playing the alphorn. It sounded really cool. I have a little video where you can hear them play. I'll have to put it on later.
Okay, I don't know what this was all about. Laney started posing like this and then Ty thought he should do this too.

The beautiful view of the Salt Lake valley.It was so weird, there were a million ladybugs on top of the mountain. I'm sure we killed a ton of them just walking around. It was really strange.
Ty studying a ladybug on his finger.

There is a tunnel that goes from Snowbird to Alta. Inside there's a rolling sidewalk for the skiers and then a little sidewalk. So we walked through it (it was cold..)........and took the ski lift back down to Snowbird.

Some people that were going up the ski lift told us, when they passed by, that there was a deer on the mountain that we should look for.Cute Laney on the ski lift. Both kids (and me) were freezing until we got closer to the Snowbird Lodge.
Here's my "German" kids dancing around!!!

CONGRATULATIONS....to us!!!

...we (I) have now been blogging for 3 years this month.
