Catching up on November

I have to do a little recap of last month because I wasn't so good about blogging about it. Our month in review (minus Claire turning 18 months and Nate's birthday - both of which have gotten much blog-face-time):

We voted!




We spent a week in Park City at the Canyons with my family. The only decent pictures I got while up there was our first attempt at taking Claire and my nephew, Corgan, sledding...




Getting ready for the inaugural run (the hill was a non-threatening ten feet)


Directly after


Then I gave it a try with her

Finally, we made the poor girl do it herself

Then E'Shell took Corgan

Give him the bink and he's much better


Claire when we told her we were leaving


We might wait a while before we try sledding again.

Up next in our month...we went to a bounce place called BounceU in Sandy...FYI - Kangaroo Zoo is WAY better.


I'm pretty sure Nate and I have as much fun as Claire does. We love having the excuse that she can't climb up by herself...so we have to take her.


Peek-a-boo!


A couple days later Claire got to play with her friend Emily. Even though neither of them look happy, they usually have fun together. :)


Up next...not the most flattering picture of her, but I had to post this one. Claire is obsessed with "Daddy's truck". She'll walk around all day saying, "Where did Daddy's truck go?" Then she'll answer her own question, "Work." (Because Daddy goes to work...everything goes to work...Grandma, Drew, Corgan, her milk, her necklace, etc.) We're not sure why she loves the truck so much. The only reason I can come up with is that she sits up high in her car seat and can see everything better than my car.


Finally, we had Drew stay with us late one night and they got to take a bath together...one of their favorite activities


Splashing is a requirement in a bath with these two


Ready to get lotion-ed up


Then they got to play blast-off with Daddy/Uncle Nate




Finally, a bedtime story with Mommy/Aunt Lis


We had a fun night



So that's our month-in-review. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did posting it!

I love that when Drew comes to visit, he gets a pink towel after his bath. Nice choice.

Also, I approve of any readings of "The Foot Book." Left foot, left foot, right foot right.

Just so you know, they had to edit the original story so it would fit in the board book version.

Also, priceless photos of worried sledding children. Nice job.

Look at you guys, terrorizing your child. You know, I don't think Livvy's ever been sledding. We'll have to go this year. By the way, Mel, I am seeing your mom in you more and more...now that you're in your, um, late twenties, of course.

Loved the update---I haven't seen you in forever. Looks like you're going to have a blast when baby #2 comes, hopefully you won't terrorize the poor kid on a sled. Ha ha.
