Happy Halloween!

So, I haven't been feeling to "Halloweenie" lately since I've been so busy with work, school, etc. so last night Heather came over and we carved pumpkins and watched Hocus Pocus. It was a great time. It's a tradition we started a few years back and it always gets me in the Halloween mood. I carved the sweet haunted house! Isn't it awesome!?

Moab '08!!!

So this years trip to Moab was a great success. We decided to leave Madison with Grandma and headed down on Friday afternoon (oct 24). The first night we just hung out at our condo, picked up our jeeps and went to dinner. Then on Saturday morning we headed out early so we could Jeep two different trails: Fins and Things & Hells Revenge. I'd never done Fins and Things so that was pretty cool. It had some pretty difficult stuff and Es (my sister) almost rolled her jeep on this trail. For her first time jeeping, she did awesome. After jeeping we headed over to our favorite restaurant, Pasta Jay's which is always a treat. After dinner we cruised over to the go-cart/laser tag place (don't know the name?) and raced a few times. The next morning we packed up, went to Denny's for breakfast and then hiked to Delicate Arch. I haven't been there for about 7 years, so it was nice to go back. So overall, everyone had a blast! Gotta love the annual Moab trip!

WALKING! sort of...

So Madison is almost 4 months old and thinks she's learned to walk. A few weeks ago we started holding her up and tried to get her to move her legs. At first she wouldn't even move, but last week she started getting the hang of it. She lifts her legs up so high that she looks like a soldier, marching along. She'll be walking in no time...Probably not a good thing.

Bear Lake - Conference Weekend

So this last weekend I was in charge of watching Madison. Natalie had a girls shopping day for Heather's birthday, so being the great husband that I am, I took Madison fishing with me up to Bear Lake with Kip and Chief. Bob, Jen and their kids came up later that day and then on Saturday my Mom and Natalie joined us. It rained most of the weekend so we spent it at the lake house playing games, riding 4 wheelers and watching movies. It turned out to be a great time! There was even a moose that came strolling through by the house.

Park City

Before it got too cold we thought we should head up to Park City. We spent the weekend (labor day weekend, and yes I know that was like a month ago) with our neighbors, the Dimond's and the Larson's. We rented a sweet condo and spent the weekend shopping at the mall, playing games and in town. We had a bit of a problem with the weather, but luckily we made it on the alpine slide before the rain hit.
