in other news...

These days are over as Boston got his cast off last week. Thank heavens, but a few days later we put a splint back on because it still seemed a little sensitive. At least he can bathe and shower normally now. I'm not complaining.
Next, we went up to our Bear Lake cabin with some friends.
Boston fell in love with this little elephant that was Ava's, I went straight to Pier 1 when we got home and bought him one. He LOVES it and named it "Elf" (how he pronounces elephant).
We also hypnotized the kids using Baby Einsteins. Works every time...
We had some fun on the beach even though it was dang cold, got some lunch and raspberry shakes, and called it a fun weekend...
This week, we took the kids to the Aquarium in Sandy.
The highlight was that Naomi LOVED it. Like could not take her eyes off the fish. So cute. And when we put her up to the glass, she would stare and then slowly press her face to the tank. Probably really germy now that I think about it, but we just thought it was cute.
Last but not least, we cannot believe it's mid November and we have no snow. That is supposed to change tomorrow, but today the kids and I hit up Mills Park while it was sunny. Yet another reason to love Woods Cross. This park is awesome and I wish I knew about it sooner. The trail running through and around it will definitely see a lot of me and my double jogger come spring.
So, we have had a few crazy weeks. Explosions, birthdays, way too many Dr's appt's and enough x-rays to cause cancer, weekend getaways and day trips. Phew, I am excited to wake up to white powder in the morning so we can stay in our P.J.'s all day and not go anywhere. Except I haven't grocery shopped in weeks... crap.
Oh, one more thing - good news today. Woop woop.

I love Naomi's new hair-do. Very cute - along with the pictures of her loving the fish. I'm glad Boston is cast free - I hope it lasts a while this time. Can't wait to see you all in person next month.

Um cabin, what? Remember how you love going on vacation with Gary and Jen?
P.S. Sorry we forgot John's birthday, Gary feels horrible. As soon as we get a respectable kitchen table you can come over for dinner.
