Out and About ...

So sad to see the holidays come to an end, but I know this is going to be a great year, so here we go!

We always go to the car show each year at the South Towne Expo; Jordan was in Heaven - so many cool cars to see!

We love this place: Thanksgiving Point. We went to the Dino Museum with some friends and let the kids run around and play, and dig for bones.
My cute little boys!
Jared rigged his golf cart to plow the snow off the driveway and Jordan loves to sit with his daddy and drive up and down the driveway.
Austin and mom @ Baja Cantina (this is our family's favorite place to go in Park City).
Jordan and his little bud Jackson Machon swimming at the Treehouse pool.
My boys checking out the deer in the back yard (we get tons of deer back there and we even watched a fox run across the backyard the other day).


We went downtown and shopped around at the Gateway, ate at the SkyBar, and then let the kids play at the arcades.
These are my favorites: my two silly boys splashing each other and making a mess in the bathroom. This is usually what bathtime looks like at our house (what am I going to do when there are three little monkeys in there??)



Jordan has finally labeled Austin as one of his friends (this is a big step because Austin has always just been the "baby"). They really are becoming good friends; they chase each other around the house; Jordan is Chick-Hicks and Austin is The King according to Jordan, and they just race around and around. Jordan really does love his little brother. One of his favorite things to do is play king of the hill on the little love sac in their playroom. They both try and stand up on the lovesac and Jordan will body-slam his brother, but I can tell he's just trying to have fun with him. He'll tell me, "I'm just loving him". He came up to me the other day and said, "I have some good news and I have some bad news". I laughed and asked what his good news was and he said, "my good new is that I'm being good to Austin and he's being good to me. My bad news is that Austin is being bad to me and I'm being bad to him." Don't know where that came from, but I thought it was funny.
That's what our little family's been up to these past few weeks. Just trying to catch my breath each day chasing these two little busy bodies around, but it's so fun and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

It looks like you've yet to get Jordan out of that Cowboy's jersey!

Great post! So fun to see what you have been up to. Baja is our favorite in PC too. I love the good news/bad news story! Kids are so funny! Also fun to see that some of the great memories are just made at your house....out on the snow plow and checking out the animals in the backyard - who needs to go to the Zoo!? :)
Hope to see you soon!

I love that sibling play together! My kids really get going and most of the time they entertain each other so much they don't think to ask for a friend to come play. I'm so glad your boys are having so much fun together. It really is a blessing!
