Hike somewhere near Payson

On Saturday we drove down toward Payson for a little day hike. It was also a trip for exploring because I love the little towns near Payson. Any way, we hiked in the snow and MUD! It was funny to hear what the kids had to say as their feet got heavier and heavier as the wet sticky mud caked onto their boots. Luckily no one lost a boot in all that gunk. Despite the mud we had a lot of fun and it was so pretty. I love the way the aspen trees look in the snow. After the hike we topped it off with some of my mom's homemade cookies (she was visiting last week and of course made us some). To those of you who don't know...my mom's cookies aren't just some ordinary cookies. They truly are the yummiest, bestest, chocolaty-est cookies in the whole world. And she left me some frozen cookie dough balls in my freezer so I can bake 'em any time I want...yum! Here are some pictures from the hike:

Miss Sara's Stats

Sara had her 2 year old check-up with the doctor this morning. Despite the cold she's fighting she's perfectly healthy, incredibly smart, and as cute as they come. What? You didn't know doctors checked for all those things? Well they do. She is only 22 pounds (which puts her in the 4th percentile for weight) and she's 34 inches long (which puts her in the 56th percentile for height). I know what all of you are thinking...she's tall and skinny like her mommy! You are so right :-)

Motocycle Madness

Sam and Aaron went dirt biking on Saturday. You can't tell me this isn't the cutest little dirt biker you've ever seen! Sammy looks like such a little man in these pictures. I can't believe how fast he's growing up!

Halloween!

We had a FUN Halloween yesterday! The kids and I explored the Hogle Zoo in SLC. It was a perfect day for it. It wasn't crowded and the weather was perfect. For dinner we had Boo Berry Pancakes...yum! And then we quickly got costumes on for TRICK-OR-TREATING! We teamed up with some neighbors and went to most of the homes in our neighborhood who had lights on. It sprinkled off and on but it still had to be the warmest Halloween I can remember. Sara was really getting the hang of it. She would make her way through the crowd of kids to the front door and either say, "treat!" or "some?". And then the person handing out the treats would comment on how cute or pretty or adorable she is and give her a heaping handful of candy (yah, because she really needs that much candy...). She would always say, "tank ooo" and leave with a big smile. It was way cute! The kids got way more candy than I know what to do with.

Fun at the Zoo!
