A Day Off With the Boys

A Boy Never Out Grows His TOYS!, originally uploaded by The Zouns.

We finally had some nice enough weather to spend a little time out side. Jake needed to test out his new motor in the RC car. Zander wanted to swing, fast, fast, fast, and with his eyes closed, because it made it fun.

A Ride @ Sand Hollow

Jake made plans for us to go ride Sand Hollow on our way to Mesquite to watch a friend in a desert race for an early Valentines get-a-way. Opa and LuLu were going to watch Zander but decided they needed a get-a-way as well so we all headed down and had a great time. We ended up with a couple of hours of great weather in between the rain storms.

Frank even took a little spin

LuLu and Zander love their time together and both have withdrawals if they go a few days w/o seeing eachother

This is my action shot, I almost look like I know what I am doing

Jake on the old machine, because I get to ride the new one.

What a gentleman.

The Many Faces of Zander

Holy Crap I love this kid!

Zanders Words

All the family visits over the last couple of weeks have been good for Zander. When we got home from Thanksgiving he told us all about playing guns with Bailee. Jake asked him who else he played with we went thru all the names of the cousins Libby, MaRc, Tanner, Taylor, Iely, Zac, Tate, Oy and Ella. The names were pretty clear, I tried typing them as he said them. If he takes the time and thinks about it he is making progress. I think the sentences may be just around the corner.

I am a little disappointed in my self I did not take one photo of Thanksgiving day, but we had a great time getting together with both sides of the family.

Utah Weather

After having a the nicest Halloween weather ever, we ended up with a day full of snow. Zander came running into our room screaming "Snow, Snow, Snow" he took me to the front window and showed me snow on the car, snow on the truck, snow on the grass, and snow on the trees. Dad also had to see the same. I tried on his coat from last winter, just to check, but it was a little tight, however he got so excited to play in the snow we could not take it back off. Every time we stepped outside he was in the snow. He Loved it.

A couple days later we were back to fall weather and Zander wanted to help dad rake leaves, he loves to help.

And finally Zander is already studying all the toy catalogs that have been showing up, I am not sure how he spots everyone but he does. He flips through all the pages and when he finds what he wants he grabs at it with his fingers and says "me, me". I think Christmas is going to be a lot of fun this year.
