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.

Happy Halloween!

This year I started looking for a costume for Zander early, spent hours on the internet. However, I had a good find when I found Antonio's old costume in the closet, and it was free. 

So this year Zander is Scooby Doo as a vampire.

Last night we went to Dad & Collette's to carve pumpkins, Antonio and Collette had picked up the pumpkins before hand, and they were some very healthy pumpkins, very, very thick walls.

After much time spent carving they turned out great:

Like Zanders red smile? I think that is what happens when you don't put enough water in when you make the punch.

Hope you all have a great Halloween!

East Canyon Drive

Zander and I took a ride up East Canyon to check out the fall leaves and to have some lunch. The colors were amazing, I think fall is my favorite time of year. Z had a wonderful time running up and down the road. We even got a self portrait or two. However I was a little freaked when I set up the camera ran over by Z and heard a noise I looked just in time to see a snake going into the bushes, YUCK!!! 

The Blog so I can comment

I am going to give this a try, but I really don't think I will do all that well. The real reason is so I can comment on everyone else's blog. My real love for keeping up on family is thru my flickr account where I share photos.  So for the latest updates on the family use my flickr link to the right.
