Liberty Park

It was a Saturday afternoon. We went to Liberty Park and then had Moochies philly cheestakes. Delish. Grandpa took these pics. Check 'em out.

Movies

The day that I've been waiting for has come at last. He's finally paying attention to movies. I've always wanted to be able to enjoy movies with my children. I'm a big fan of movies, after all I met my wife while working at Blockbuster Video. So, I've been renting them, and borrowing from the library like crazy. Only a couple have actually stuck though. And for the most part, the still need to be cartoons. First it was 'Jungle Book'. He adored it. Then 'Finding Nemo' and right now to coincide with his extreme interest in neigh neigh's, he's very much into 'Spirit'. Wall-E comes out next week and I think we might buy it for him.

This brings up another important matter about movies. The new Star Trek preview will be unveiled tomorrow. I challenge all of you you view it and weigh in. I will post the preview once it's available.

Random pics

Here are a couple of more that I had just lying around. One is of him just chillin' on the couch one day. Another is when we went down to Christie's brother in St. George, and the last is him practicing his somersaults at The Little Gym.

Very first haircut

I felt it was a little late in life to have your first haircut at almost 21 months. But his hair was pretty sparse and thin earlier on. We held off for a long time too because we couldn't bare to cut anything off that could have been reminiscent of when he was a baby. But the time had come, and he was ready, he was looking a little straggly. The lady had Great Clips and was super nice. The instant he sat in that chair though, the lip went down and the tears started to flow. But the lady was experienced and whipped out not one, but two dumm dumm suckers and he was set. We have a baggy of the hair somewhere, I didn't think it would be such a huge deal, but it was actually. So hard to see him grow so dang fast. Every night I tell him to slow it down, I can't keep up with him moving through stages so quickly.

Cascade Springs

Below in the 'Fall' post I mentioned that I would be showing some photos of our trip to Cascade Springs. So, here they are. It was me, Christie, Mother-in-law and the king of toddlers. Weather was really nice, didn't need much to stay warm, and the colors were amazing. This was one of the first rides in the van, so that was fun. I hate the fact that you have to spend 6 dollars every time you want to drive up American Fork canyon, which for me was a lot this year. So next year I think we will by a season pass.

Halloween

I've updated a couple of pictures from Halloween. I was pretty sick that day, had some sort of really nasty cold. Mom and little brudder came to my work around 3 and he was able to go trick or treating. We only did one half of my building, but it took atleast an hour and a half, and by that time we had way more candy than he could ever need in the next year.

After that we went to Christie's Grandma's and hung out and then to my mom's. Here neighborhood had gathered around a bonfire and it was pretty fun. All in all, it was a good Halloween for him. He's starting to understand things a lot more, he quickly caught onto the fact that he wasn't going to be able to indulge in all the candy he stock-piled, and that upset him a bit.

Also, at work I was asked to be in a group costume. See below. We won first place and got a free meal and got to go see Quantum of Solace, which was pretty lame-o, except for the fact that it had a Star Trek preview. During the preview, I nearly fainted.

Fall

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, sorry for that. Couple of things to report on. The van is now in working order and we’ve been cruising all over town with it. Connor has become quite used to it, and I think he’s totally forgotten about the crayon box (Jetta). Christie is coming right along, she’s approaching 7 months this month. She’s still feeling pretty yucky, and we are suspecting that she might have the bêtes. We are going to get that tested this week to know for sure. I was able to feel Taylor last week, just a little bump. Christie said she had the hiccups last night. We were able to go up to cascade springs a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve attached some pictures. Also, Connor and Bailey had a photo shoot in Grammy’s backyard yesterday, but Conn is so hard to shoot, he never smiles, so here’s the best we could get. As soon as I get the time I will post some pics from Connor’s first hair cut and Halloween.
