heritage park

we went to This is the Place Heritage Park yesterday for some change of scenery. i never think there is much to do here in the great state of utah, so we've been trying to find new things for us to do with our little man. ike brought up the idea of heritage park, and i was like...what da heck? (me doing my karl malone impression, if you're confused look up karl malone on crank yankers and you'll possibly pee your pants laughing) but we went, and it was ideal. tons of old buildings, hand carts, delicious treats, a train, and a petting zoo. and of course, max brought his cars. and it's such a beautiful time of year to go, i'm really beginning to appreciate fall.

"wed" and "day"

in max's world, there are two important things, and they are "wed" and "day". interpretation? his "red" and "gray" cars. nothing can be done without these cars. and he has found ways to adjust to life as these two toys seem to be attached to his tiny hands.

goodbye snowcones.

until next year. xoxo

state fair? yes, please.

i'm not sure if any of you know, but once upon a time, i fell in love with isaac at the utah state fair. okay, maybe not in LOVE, but it's where it all started. we haven't been since, but this year i had an itch to go. and it was glorious. random. ideal. everybody should make it appoint to attend the utah state fair, or at least a fair near you.

dolls? really?

cutest butter bean ever.

speaking of butter, i love elephant ears dripping in butter

clown

all sorts of furry animals max couldn't get enough of.

best thing at the fair by far? the 4h arts and crafts showcase.

josie, lily, and max.

i love these pictures. we were so sad when josie and lily had to leave to their new home in georgia. but so excited that the holidays are coming, so it won't be long till we see them again.

josie trying to wrangle these two for a group hug.

so much fun in yellowstone

we love yellowstone. max got some quality cousin time, which he needed. it was so fun to have luke and his kids there, this year. we celebrated our 3rd anniversary this year in yellowstone. i am so lucky to be married to a funny, loving, patient man. marrying him was the best decision i've made yet. so thankful for ya babe. love you.

sk8ordie

max has been getting some new hobbies lately. and his favorite so far has been skateboarding. he's pretty great at it, too. ignore that fact that he can't even stand on the skateboard yet, he's only got the two hand steering down. but we're hoping that by the 2012 x-games we'll be ready.

thanks kelsey, for being prepared with your camera and snapping these pics of my guy.

m.f.e.o.

aren't these two just made for each other? they are the my two favorite side kicks. and this is pretty much what we do everyday. i load them both up in carla the corolla, and we're off! we do all of our errands together. it's so fun to have both of them with me always. besides the times when bob thinks it's funny to eat my groceries, and the wrappings they come in. (and yes, that is how max smiles for the camera)

the past month we've spent a lot of time with the buie's. scott t. took us on a little family trip to vegas and st. george. we had so much fun, and max had so much fun spending time with his grandpa and grandma buie. he's getting so big, and...(the worst word ever) old. he's a toddler, he's not a little babe anymore. which sometimes makes me so sad, but right now i'm sitting here listening to him scream his head off because i put him in bed. please sleep gods, help him get to sleep soon...

faces

i took these a few weeks ago, and i couldn't help but take a few pics of max and his funny faces. most of them are his say "cheese" faces, which there are many versions of. i personally think he just likes to show off his teeth.

this first one though is him just being cute, and with a little snot.
