Trick OR Treat

My butterfly and Lion waiting anxiously at the door to start going

going door to door with daddy, she would kneel at some of the houses when the other people would kneel to put some candy in her bag, she was getting comfortable knowing she might be there for awhile taking all there candy.

going door to door with mommy, she lasted for 2 hours (more like Mommy and Daddy and Dreyton could only last 2 hours)

Ward Halloween Party

All ready for our Halloween party

Random shot of what was in the gym, lots of games for the kids to play and a spook house on the stage that didn't even phase Zoë going through

Edible Playdough

So I decided to make some edible playdough so Dreyton could play as well. Zoë learned way too quick that it was edible and the playdough started disappearing rather quickly.

Edible Playdough Recipe
equal parts of
Peanut Butter
Honey
Milk Powder
add a little flour to make it easier to mold

Not a good start...

This week is off to a horrible start with going through a whole package of diapers for both kids in one day, and Zoë threw up in the car on our way to costco an incredible amount. I am hoping everything is close to "normal" for Halloween because I am VERY excited to get my kids in there costumes and go trick or treating. It is nice once you have kids so you can get back into Halloween
Zoë had this all set up for me to come eat with her in the play room, eventually her baby took over.

Dreyton loves to sit like a big boy on things, his ride-on car, the Dora quad, and the booster seat etc. He is so proud of himself getting up and down all on his own.

Zoë's 1st Haircut

Zoë had her 1st haircut today and was really good, she got a certificate and a lock of hair. Afterwards they curled her hair too.

Trip To Utah

We just got back from a really nice relaxing trip to Utah. Lee had to go to some meetings so we made a vacation out of it and we took Dreyton while Zoë stayed with her Aunties and Grandma. We had so much fun that I had to convince Lee that we weren't going to move there (minus the day that I got deathly sick from what we think was food poisoning).

Dreyton slept before the plane even started moving and woke up after we had landed

My brother Ryan is officially ENGAGED! I took Katya out for ice cream one night while Lee and Ryan were able to get in her apartment and set it up pretty before she got back. She was sure shocked he was there a day early and in her apartment proposing. Lee took a video of it but its pretty poor quality since it was so dark at the time.

We went to a few restaurants there that I thought Lee may like.
Tucano's is pretty much a meat buffet where servers will come when you want them too with a variety of different meats.
The Mayan is a theme restaurant and there are divers that dive in the restaurant and do a skit.
The Training Table nothing fancy but it has a neat concept, they have phones at each table that you can place your order on when you are ready, instead of waiters coming around, and then they call you back when your order is ready

We went to Cabellas which is a neat outdoor store and I got a perfect round in a shooting range of 200 pts, Lee got 90 pts

That's better my boy

My cousin Julie's son Michael playing with Dreyton, they sure loved playing on that love sac

Playing in the fountains at the outside mall in SLC

We went to Lee's work party the last night there where it was different game shows going on. We won two OGIO suitcases and two ipod portable boomboxes and then received some hats and shirts as well.

Zoë and Dreyton love playing with each other (most of the time)

Miss Independence

Zoë has been trying to grow up too quick lately. The other night Zoë decided she didn't want to wear a diaper to bed and took it off at some point before she fell asleep. I went and checked on her like I usually do just before heading to bed and noticed her diaper was off and she had drenched her sheets really bad, and was shivering while she slept. So Lee and I did the routine of changing everything and putting her in a warm bath and got her all dressed again and put her back to bed.

The next morning Lee was heading downstairs with Dreyton and noticed Zoë's door was open. He went in to see if she was still in her room, but she wasn't. We went downstairs to find her and she was sitting on the sofa chair hoping the TV would just turn on magically. For all we know she could have came down at 2am, we just don't know. I have started putting a baby gate up on the top of the stairs at night as I think she is too little to wander around alone.

She is growing up so quick, talks a mile a minute and can tell us exactly what she wants. Last week the UPS guy came to our door and Zoë was saying bye to him and said LOVE YOU, and I think he just ignored her and kept going so she said it about 6 times louder and louder until he finally said love you too.

I REALLY hope this isn't Zoë trying to imitate me with my glasses typing away on the computer.
