Disney Princesses on Ice



I took Greta to see Princesses on Ice last week with some friends. She loved it so much. It was so fun to watch her excitement - seeing the Princesses she loves so much. Mickey and Minnie also came out which she was very excited about. At one point she thought we were really going to see them. She took my hand and said "Come on Mommy, let's go". It was so fun, she was mesmerized the entire time.

What Mommy?

So I was in my bathroom getting ready and I walked into the other room to check on Greta. She was standing there talking on her Cinderella phone. When she saw me come in, she stopped talking and just stared at me. After a few moments of silence, she says, with no expression, "what mommy?" When I didn't answer, she looked away and started talking on her phone again. It was so funny, already too important for me.

A lamb and a duck


So I found this adorable lamb costume for Greta and of course she would not put it on. Up until Halloween night she had it on for maybe 3 minutes so I was worried she wouldn't wear it at all. But once she saw all the kids coming to the door in their costumes, she got excited. It didn't take her long at all to get the concept of going up to the door and they give you candy. After the first house she was off to the next!


Lamb and duck checking each other out.

And the recycled baby duck costume was as cute as ever on the baby.

Heading out to trick or treat...I completely forgot to get a cute pumpkin or something for her to put candy in so yes, she is using a ralph lauren bag-- it was the only one dark colored I had!

Blessing/Birthday

October has been a busy month so far. We started out going down to St. George for UEA with the Cypers. We had such a great time with them. Here is Elsa and her cousin (4 months older)
This was our first family bike ride. We all rode down to the park together and let Greta play. She loved it and the bike ride was fun. As you can see we had to prop up the baby with blankets and towels but she did great. Greta calls this trailer her "bike".
Brock and Mitch took the girls on a hike.

Greta on her birthday - October 7th. I can't believe she is two! She amazes me everyday. I love her excitement for life. Her smiles and giggles are priceless. She is into adding "so much" onto things, like "thank you, so much" and "I love you, so much." It is the sweetest thing.

Hugging her Cinderella doll- her latest obsession.
Since we decided to bless Elsa the same week as Greta's birthday, we combined them for a party on Sunday. This is the party after the blessing, blowing out candles with daddy.

The gift opening craziness.

Happy baby on her special day.

Lotoja


Last Saturday, Brock completed his first Lotoja (the 206 mile bike race from Logan to Jackson Hole). There was a lot of time and training that went into this and we are so proud of him. It was a long hard day, but he finished! Congratulations, we love you.

Elsa is 2 weeks old today.  She is such a sweetheart and a very good baby, letting her mom get some sleep!  



Hooray! I'm sleeping.

Lauren and Michael surprised us by driving home early from their summer in Florida.  They drove through the night to get back and see little Elsa.  What a great aunt and uncle!
Aunt Reghan is here for the week, visiting from NYC, it has been great having her around. Kayce & Taylor are also here visiting from LA.  We had a cookout together in the mountains last week. 

The hikers


My mom threw a birthday party for the grandkids while Kayce was here.  They had a ball.
