Got milk...and other fun moments!

For those of you who know Tanner very well, he has never liked milk or formula. Since I have weaned him, he just quit milk all together. Just recently he has decided that chocolate is good stuff after all. We were excited to get him drinking any milk. I have to agree with Tanner that the chocolate milk mustache is far superior to the ordinary stuff!


Here Jackson is getting reading ready to go on a walk in the stroller. It was a cool day, so we got our the bear outfit that my mom had given Tanner. I had to take a picture becuase it was funny to see him bundled up.
Can you guess which bundle of joy is Tanner and which is Jackson?

My cuties!!
While I was fixing my hair one morning, I heard Tanner say..."More car shoe baby?" I turned to see this, and I ran for the camera as fast as possible. I got a picture just in the nick of time!
Not really a good fit!

We went to a Halloween play group party, and instead of doing the craft, Tanner wanted to play horses with Preston (a friend from down the street).


I spent countless hour sewing an Elmo costume, and as soon as we get to the party, Tanner trades his Elmo hood for a pink cowboy hat. Go figure!
I'll post some nice Elmo pics when I do Halloween. Naptime is over, so I had better go!!

These are hiking pictures. I didn't have time to put them on here yesterday, but it was so pretty that I wanted to share with those of you who do not have a true appreciation for the Uintah Basin- YET. We were up in the Uintah Mountains, on the top of Petty Mt. This is how you hike with two kids under two!

Kenny is the king of hill, well at least until I took a picture and came to join him!
The view from the hill! We hiked down into the medow and were shocked how wet it was for the fall!
The Aspens were goreous!
Almost to the medow!
We hiked for about three hours. I was having a tough time for the last hour or so, but we had a great time, and saw some really pretty spots.

I also have a piece of bragging info! My little Tanner said his prayers by himself for the first time. I can't believe how old he is...almost 2 already!! All the hard work during the day feels worth it when you experience those precious moments.

The Reasons we love camping!

We went cmping for my birthday this week and had a blast. Sleeping in a three man tent with two little boys is difficult, but at least we got enough sleep to fuction (and lets me honest- what more can a mother of an 11 week old baby ask for?)! Here are the reasons we love camping...



Tanner gets to sit back and relax,


Jackson gets to sit back and relax,
Mommy gets to sit back and relax,
Daddy gets to do all the hard work!



Daddy does all the cooking and there are no dishes to wash!



Sticks eveywhere!
"Stick Mommy!" -Tanner

We also love hiking! I will put those in the next post.
