Jayde's First Birthday Party in Utah





We decided since so many of our family members would be in Utah near her birthday that we would have a party for her, early. She liked Tinker Bell on her cake, but did not care for the cake taste and wanted a cracker instead. Then she sat on her big boxed presents to unwrap the little ones. She got from us a playhouse for little people and a pink bus that they ride in. Her aunts spoiled her with cloths and toys. Grandma and Grandpa got her a Barbie bike. She got spoiled and had a blast!

Fun at Grandma & Grandpa's House














We had such a fun time in Utah with the family. As you can see it snowed and Jordan made a snowman, first one this year. Jordan and Jayde were able to play with their cousins for awhile on Sunday and played with Grandma and Grandpa. Jayde had a thing with all the celing fans running. When she woke up from naps or in the AM, she would craw to every room that had a fan and say a few words, then point at the fan until it was turned on. She also loved the piano and crawling and sitting on the bottom of the shelves. Jayde's cousin Haley brought her turtle with her and Jayde just talked and pointed at it.

Riding in the Snow






The secon day of 4-wheeling in Utah was in the snow. Jayde and Grandma stayed home and played, while the rest of us toughened-up and went for a very nice ride. Because this trail had some hairy spots, Jordan wanted to ride in the back of the Rino for the trip.

Four-wheeling in Utah













This past weekend we all headed to Utah to see my parents and sisters. The first day ATVing Jayde was able to go because it was warmer, but Grandma had to work. Jayde rode on the front of me in a harness and talked, yelled, waved and jumped to the riders behind us. She loved watching them ride behind her.
Jordan had a great time riding his 4-wheeler. He is getting really good at it. We took him to the "Lakes" above town and when we got their he said "No really, where are the lakes?" I had to inform him that here in Utah puddles of mud are lakes to these folks.
Tom enjoyed riding his motorcycle for almost the first time this year, we have been very busy. The fall colors were pretty much over, but that fall smell was great!
