G.G. Comes to Play

Earlier this month, my Grandma (or G.G. to the kids) came out to Utah to visit her old stompin' grounds and all the family that has ended up out this way.  I was spoiled growing up, because she lived in a little cottage at the edge of our backyard, so I spent many afternoons on her couch chatting with her while she worked on one crocheting project or another. She was also my seminary teacher in high school. I loved seeing my kids have a chance to get to know her a little.
Our little family got to take her down to see Temple Square while she was here and we had a great time. The flowers are always so pretty!



That weekend we got together with the whole extended clan for a barbecue at my Aunt Chris and Uncle LaMar's house. They have our dream yard.




My Uncle LaMar is a vet, and they have a lot of pets, including five horses and a turkey. We got to go on a hayride pulled by two of the horses and it was a big treat for the kids (okay and for me and Nate too). Here's Addison with my cousin, Carter, petting one of the horses.

    Looks like so much fun! I'm so jealous. The hayride sounds so cool!

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
