Catch up: Summer
Painting the sidewalk
Building forts
This is what happens when you let Reed put his own peanut butter on crackers
or wash his hands unattended.
Hiking Stewart Falls. Reed did surprisingly well. He hates the backpack carrier, so he walked a big portion of the hike. It was great, Reed says some really funny things when he is tired. (While whining)"I am sooo tired. I need to go to sleep in my bed." Or "I'm too big for this!!!" (while we tried getting him the backpack carrier). It was quite entertaining.
Holy crap, cute baby. Sometimes, I can't even stand it.
Raspberry picking. Seriously the most fun I've had in a while. Something about plucking raspberries is so satisfying. Kinda like vacuuming. Plus it made me feel so domestic for some reason, living off the land in all. :)
Bridal Veil Falls on Labor Day.
Peek-a-boo. Taryn is finally sleeping in the same room as Reed. Oh no, she wasn't sleeping in our room; we would put her in the kitchen. Don't judge. It has gone much better than expected having them in the same room.
Reed started Joy School and loves it! These are his friends in school with him. They are "resting."
Ice cream from ice cream trucks and riding bikes
The Tracy Aviary in SLC with Oma, Whitney, and Matthew. Kevin's sister, Whitney, and her family spent the summer in Alpine while they were waiting on buying a house. It was a lot of fun having her around.
Growing up. We have a crawler on our hands now!
Just hanging out
Hiking the Grotto
Some time in the Canyon
Catch up with best friends, Lesley and Katie
Reed sucking out his own boogers. Yep.
And snuggling with my babies. :) It's been an amazing summer.
Catch up: Reed's Birthday
Happy 3rd Birthday, Reed! We celebrated with family mostly and per request of Reed, we had a "Blue MIckey Party." The Mickey part was encouraged by me a little bit, but he just wanted a blue party.
I have heard from several people that 3 is much harder than 2. I do understand what they are saying--more demands, more whining, more manipulating, more lying. But I also think 3 is much more fun than 2. For one, Reed is much funnier. He knows when he is funny and tries to be funny. He also has made advances in development and interests. I love that he wants to draw now when before, he really could care less. He wants to write letters and tries to draw actual pictures. He thinks he is drawing cows but in reality, they look like smiley faces. But I love it! He has always been interested in books, but I think it has reached a whole new level. He understands the story line more and tries to "read" on his own. (Good thing he has memorized all the books we own). :) 3 really has been great. We love our Frog!
Catch Up: Vacation
Minnesota trip with the Wilson family
(*A couple days before we arrived in MN, we found out that the state basically shut down. All our plans of renting a boat, water skiing, etc. were out the window. We had to make our own fun...)
Lots of sand play
Reed thought he wanted to swim in the lake when he saw his older cousins doing it. It took less than one second to realize he hates to swim.
Tiniest-parade-in-the-world-watching. However, we got water balloons thrown at us and a array of dogs in costumes. Very creative.
More sand. They had a cute little beach area next to a lake that we spent most of our time at.
Kevin's older sisters had a few minutes with Taryn and this is what happens! :) Pigtails!
Short canoe trip. I was just happy we got Reed to go in it at all.
Cousin-burying
This is as good as it gets with Reed.
Just the thought of going in the water made him crazy. Okay, okay, we get it.
We celebrated Reed's 3rd birthday!
The humidity did something CRAZY to Taryn's hair! I love this picture.
