Going for the gourd.... (Get it? Olympics and Pumpkins!)

This last weekend we had Aubree. We decided to go up to the Olympic Park in Park City and take a tour. We saw the museum (Aubree loves museums), the bobsled track, the Nordic jump and other ski jumps, it was pretty amazing. The top of the Nordic jump was so high it almost made me nervous. Aubree also went on the zip line there, she wanted to go on the steepest zip line in the world but she wasn't big enough but it is something she is looking forward to when she is older.

Aubree wanted to carve pumpkins for Halloween so my mom helped us find a pumpkin carving contest up at the condo. Tim of course had to help Aubree, I have put Tim in charge of any activities that require the use of a giant knife. We went with a classic pumpkin design...

Scary!!!

A Second Spring...

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." -Albert Camus

It is fall! It is my favorite season! I love that it cools off...no more blistering heat...the leaves are beautiful as they change...Thanks to Emily I had a chance to walk up into the mountains on a little hike to see the changing foliage...

6 Quirks

Stormee tagged me and asked me to name 6 Quirks of mine...Here goes...

1. I have this horrible habit of biting my bottom lip...

2. I only chew on a half a piece of gum at a time...

3. I can't leave the house without wearing high heels...

4. I do my makeup in the car while driving...

5. I can't stand crushed ice...

6. I absolutely can't abide people scraping their teeth on their forks while they eat...

2922 Days Old...(That is 8 Years!)

Last weekend we celebrated Aubree's 8th birthday. I can't believe how fast time flies, it seems like just yesterday she was wearing Winnie the Pooh sweatshirts and pigtails. We tagged along with Breezee and Stormee to Lagoon and then had cupcakes and presents. It was so much fun to see our friends and family.

All things Golden...

One of our summer adventures was going to the Golden Spike Museum. My parents, two brothers and Aubree all headed out to Promintory Point to see it all. It was interesting but not something I need to do again anytime soon. The most fun part of the the trip was singing along as a family to oldies music and watching my brothers bust out some awsome dance moves. Here are some funny pictures from our fun day.
