my playdate

Josh is such a cutie. He loves his play dates. Yesterday, after his play date with Michelle, he informed me that he saved going to Madagascar 2 for our activity. He was so excited to go to the movies with his mom. Can that last forever?!!

The show is cute and worth the trip to the movies AND the time I get with my bug is priceless!

swimming!

This isn't a picture from today, but my bug a boo spent the afternoon with Michelle at the Kearns Rec Center doing his favorite activity...swimming! He was so excited to be back in the water even though it was freezing cold outside. I think he has found a new favorite hotspot for playdates!

full weekend

Saturday was a day for the books, busy and full of fun activities. I started off at the Lia Sophia jewelry party. Next was the Stitch 'n Bitch at Michelle's aunts. We get together for yummy chili and crafts. I get all of my Gateway employee gifts put together every year at this event. I love it!

Next it was on to the UOFU women's basketball game. It was the first game of the season and of course the girls pulled out a win. I am excited to be a season ticket holder this year!

To finish up an amazing, full day music of course needed to be involved. Matt Nathanson was the artist of choice at the Avalon. I was a little bit apprehensive by the venue, but it was actually a small venue that was perfect for the an amazing artist. It was a great day!

first "real" snow

Thanks to daylight savings, we didn't make it out to play in the first real snow of the season until after the sun had gone down. There were new boots and snow pants to buy, plus dinner and homework. But Josh finally made it out to play in the really fresh, snowball making snow. I am NOT ready for this weather!

fishin' around

Every Monday, Josh is lucky enough to enjoy a play date with Michelle. This week they visited the aquarium. Josh feels like the know it all of these places because we go way too much, but he had fun showing Shelly the ropes.

...and of course he left with prizes from the gift shop!

trick-or-treat

TRICK-or-TREAT

Josh, my mom, my sister, and my nephew Dylan met up after school today to do some early trick-or-treating. We of course had to stop by my grandmas' and my aunt Laurel's to visit.

Then, we headed up to Foothill Village for their candy collecting. We had fun. Josh will have more trick-or-treating tonight with his dad.

Dylan was wiped out by the end of our afternoon and Josh had fun using the balloon string to move him like a puppet on our drive home. We had a fun afternoon!

halloween school party

Josh was so excited to go to school and enjoy a Halloween day. It started with a parade around the school and the block. All the kids looked adorable and were all smiles.

After they did regular school work, the Halloween party began. The party moms put together a great to do with a bunch of different centers including cookie decorating, games, crafts, and bingo. Josh had a blast. It was great start to the Halloween day!
