The Utah State Fair

We ventured to the Utah State Fair last week and had a great time. Ethan loved seeing all of the animals and eating all of the fun treats like chocolate covered strawberries. Yuuummmm One thing we didnt try but mike really wanted to was the deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich...my thoughts YUCK.

The animals were stinky!

Free 5x7 !! Sure

We went shopping today at Babies R Us and while we were there the Kiddie Kandids photographer asked if we had a minute to take a few pics of Ethan. His hair is crazy and he had been wearing the clothes that he had on all day and spilled many things on it. All in all they turned out quite good. He is so cute and did so well with the photographer. It makes me want to get some more photos of him done. I guess that is the purpose of a free 5x7. . . . show you how cute they look on a photo and they will book again for a "real" sitting. It was fun.

1st Zoo trip

Yesterday we took Ethan to the Zoo for the first time. We had so much fun. Ethan knows a whole bunch of animal sounds now and it was fun for us to show him the animals in real live. He can do an elephant , lion, monkey and many more that are just as cute as can be. I was surprised that I made it as long as I did being prego with twins. Here are some cute pics of our little family outing....

He didnt really know what to think of the merry go round. He was just happy to see the lion.

I think that his favorite animals were the meercats. They were the most active and he could get right up close and see them run around.

We got him a little juice cup and he just wouldnt put it down.


There is this huge wooden elephant that you can sit on his trunk . What a cute photo op.


Ethan wouldnt sit still for 2 seconds so I could get a good pic of him on the spider.


And you cant go to the zoo without a pic of the kid in a huge egg!!

Wendover Trip

We went to Wendover on Labor day weekend as we do every year but this year it was mighty cold. We swam on Saturday and Ethan was shivering right away. He didnt do much swimming the rest of the weekend and as far as gambling the only big winners were Mikes mom and Peggy. $$$ How fun to have some winners! Here are some shots of the cold swimming day.
