Zions and St.George

Beautiful Zions 2 wonderful men. my Dad and his Dad

Boys with Papa

I think the Fall is the best time of the year to visit Zions

some good entertainment while stuck in hotel because the cold


WILDLIFE MUSEUM IN ST. GEORGE
This museum was really fun. They have animals from all over the world. The animals are all stuffed, so it was a little tricky trying to explain to Bridger how they got there.

They have a kid area where they can pet the (dead) animals. It's pretty fun. Bridger became best buddies with this bear feeding it and hugging it!

Foster did not like this place.. He was terrified of the animals!

Foster clinging on to Great Papa

He was quite happy just doing puzzles

We dressed up and searched for wildlife

Going on a WHERE-PLANE!


well BRIDGE left us today to go on a WHERE PLANE!
(that's what he calls an airplane)
i told him about it yesterday(big mistake!), that
PAPA and GAMMA were going to come pick him up in the morning and take him to WYOMING.
so ALL day yesterday he kept trying to FALL ASLEEP so it would be morning.
FINALLY it was morning.
i took him to the airport, and they SURPRISED him that he was going on the AIRPLANE!
i've never seen a bigger SMILE in my life.
he said, "Mom, BRIDGER(he still talks 3rd person) fly on a WHERE PLANE!!"
BYE

BEAUTIFUL OUTDOORS!

Bridge and friend Ryker
Beautiful Jade!(sarah's little girl)


What would i do without my amazing friend Sarah



Random thoughts

Bridge out grew his toddler bed today.
we pulled out his BIG bed and
i got choked up and cried.
i laughed to myself,
why was i crying??
it hit me that they grow so fast!
he now holds my hand and cuddles me just a little less.
at times he would rather be with friends then me.
i know he is only 3! but
how did this happen so fast?
it made me realize as i looked at him in that BIG bed,
that i will make sure to love and cherish every moment with this cute kid.
(and of course my other darling boy Foster)
before i know it he will be holding hands with girls instead of me.
some things haven't changed though,
like his enormous happy smile!
from the time he was a baby
people would stop me and say;
"my goodness your baby is the happiest baby i've ever seen."
now i'm not saying he doesn't have his tantrums
because he does.
but for the most part he is a happy kid.
i pray he will always be a happy kid,
and that i will always cherish every moment with my fun kids

Horray for Fall!

Bridger with his cousin Tristan at the pumpkin patcb
This place was really fun. They have lots to do for kids, and heavenly kettle corn!


Foster in corn kernals

Our awesome neighbors came. Gary just got his appendix taken out and went down this huge slide anyways.

We went on a wagon ride in to a huge pumpkin patch and everyone could pick and cut a pumpkin. It was really fun.


BUDS
I love when they are best buddies and play together. If only it could happen more often...

ZOOOOOOO
You should all go to the zoo and see the cute babies. There are a ton to see right now!

On a side note:(which I'm sure many of you don't care, but i need for my record)

Horray for Foster! He is now offically weaned, and is finally sleeping through the night!! I know, I know.. Crazy! You would think this would've been sooner.. But it's been a long and crazy process, and I know most of it was my fault because I'm a pushover and Foster LOVES to nurse!. The antibotic and medicine I have been taking has basically made me quit cold turkey, which was probably good! Otherwise Foster may have been 10 before i finally quit! j/k not really!
