Snow Dance

Zekie was sooo excited that it snowed yesterday! He exclaimed "Oooooooooh s'no'w". As well as "Zekie, no, outside." He did lots of snow dances and jumps, but mostly enjoyed catching snowflakes in his mouth :) The exciting life of a 2 year old.

Thankful for Thanksgiving!

We had an incredible Thanksgiving! We started off with Katie's family for a lovely Thanksgiving breakfast complete with waffles, eggs, bacon...the works :) Then after a quick nap for the boys, we cruised up to Farmington to see Rob's extended family who got to meet Isaac for the first time! After eating to our hearts' content, we played a little pool and ping pong, and watched and danced to Hairspray. Next we headed over to Rob's parents for a relaxing rest of the evening. Needless to say we are thankful for our family and many blessings and are grateful for such a wonderful holiday to express our thankfulness :)

Isaac is a BIG fan of Thanksgiving. This was his first one and he is anxiously awaiting next year when he has more teeth!

To Isaac, there is nothing much finer than romping around the leaves and sampling a few here and there.

"Rob Buzzed the Baby"

Isaac was majorly due for his first haircut. He was starting to resemble Conan O'Brien, who is hilarious, but not exactly who we want our baby to look like :) As you can see, his hair helped him get intouch with his wild side...

AND now with the hair gone he's feeling much more subdued. Or maybe this is just his tough, freshly buzzed army face.

Halloween in the Jungle!

Well, we survived another Halloween! As you can see by the pictures we dressed our boys up at cool cats this Halloween with Zekie as a lion and Isaac as a leopard. Zekie's roar still needs some work considering it's a mere whisper...but it wasn't likely he was going to scare anyone anyways. Zekie did think Halloween was rather terrifying though. Something about knocks and ringing at the door always sends him into hyperventilation. However when it was his turn to ring the bell and say "treat!" he decided Halloween wasn't so bad afterall. I mean what other holiday can you grab as many suckers out of a bowl that your little hands can manage to grab onto. NUM!!

Zekie's 2nd Birthday

October 18th was Zekie's 2nd birthday. His Dada came home for lunch and brought us Cafe Rio for the occassion. Zekie thoroughly enjoyed the cream from his keylime pie...off the end of the candles he blew out like a champ! Zekie got some Mega Blocks and has had just as much fun with the bag they came in as he has with the blocks. All in all he had a fabulous birthday :)

The Cabin through the Generations

Rob, Zekie and Isaac...the legacy continues. This was the boys first trip to the cabin that Rob Sr. helped "Bunky" build. It's in Island Park, up by Yellowstone and is very quaint and in a beautiful setting out in the woods. Zekie's favorite part, of course was throwing rocks into Moose Creek which is only a couple yards away. He was desperate to get in the water, and was quite shocked when it nearly froze his little toes off! Isaac was more than happy to shred grass and Rob was clearly in a great mood because he caught several large trout. Like I said...it was the boys first trip, but I'm sure it won't be the last.

Floating the River at Island Park

Don't let the look on their faces confuse you. The boys had a fabulous time floating the river. Isaac has never slept so soundly... I'm sure the warmth of his grandmother's arms combined with the gentle rocking of the boat had something to do with it :) And Zekie had a wide assortment of snacks and happily waved to every last fisherman we passed...several times. All in all in was a beautiful day on the river. Nature is soo refreshing.
