Happy Halloween

I am a couple weeks late on this post...but better late than never, right? We had a fun Halloween this year with Nolan. The day before Halloween, Nicks work (Xango) had the families come and trick or treat so I brought Nolan and let him walk around. He was dressed as a giraffe on Friday at Xango and then on Halloween he was a monkey. I was indecisive about which costume since I thought they were both adorable, so it worked out that he was both. Then on Saturday, Halloween, we went to Nicks parents house around 4, cause Nicks mom was doing a Halloween party. We ate a yummy dinner and then took Nolan to a few houses to trick or treat. Not sure he really got what he was doing since he has never actually eaten candy, but it was fun anyway.

I know, I am the queen of picture overload...I just couldn't decide what ones to post so I always post way too many pictures, oh well!

The Xango trick or treat (friday, day before Halloween)

our happy little giraffe :) I was surprised how happy he was in his costumes

getting his share of candy

Aunt Jessica came to xango to see him

Uncle Zack works at Xango with Nick so he was able to see Nolan too

Saturday, Halloween day!

Aunt Tracy stopped by Nicks parents house so she could see Nolan and take him trick or treating wtih us...so glad you came Trac, we sure had fun

Nolan and Nick (nolan prior to costume attire)

Uncle Cam and Nolan...I can't tell you how much Cam LOVES Halloween! Glad we have someone in the family that gets all into Halloween cause Nick and I sure don't :)

Our little monkey

The group of people that actually dressed up, way to go ya'll...way to be good sports!

my sweet boys!

taking Nolan around trick or treating...he actually had a lot of fun!

The End!

Zoo

In the beginning of October Nick and I decided to take Nolan to the Zoo before it got to cold. I went to the Zoo earlier in the summer with Nolan but Nick was out of town and missed it! So we ventured out to the Zoo on a Saturday (remind me not to go to the Zoo again on a Saturday, way too busy) It was fun, but we both decided Nolan is still maybe a little too young to really enjoy it. I think he would like a petting zoo or something a little more interactive a little better.

Cute new baby elephant

sad, cute bears! I personally think they need new cages

Nolan didn't want to be pushed in his stoller, he LOVED walking around

Seriously though, this kid was more interested in picking things off the ground than the actual animals...that's why we decided he needs to be just a little bit older to really like the animals. I just don't think he could get close enough and there was no interaction.

Once again, picking things up on the ground

Loving those wood chips! Glad we payed 20 bucks for him to play with wood chips :)

But he is a happy guy, so it was worth every penny

I have to say he did enjoy the Merry-go-round

The End!

Trip to Star Valley

I feel bad I am so behind on blogging...I have a stash of pictures that I want to update the blog with, but there are so many that I am overwhelmed (sigh) That is why I need to keep up with this blog thing so I don't get overwhelmed. So I will start by updating what has been going on the last few months.
At the end of September Nicks parents took the family up to star valley to stay in some fun cozy cabins. We have done this as a family the last 3 years, so we really were looking forward to it this year. Nolan did great traveling in the car, better than expected! Thanks Nicks parents for a great trip!

on our way up to star valley we stopped in ogden at the train station.
