Grandma's Turkey Cake

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our house this year. The food was so yummy and the company was great. My mom made this adorable Turkey cake for Greydon. She is so creative and thoughtful! The Turkey was made of pumpkin spice pound cake and was absolutely delicious.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

New Toy!

Santa came to my house a little early this year and brought us a fun new toy! I am so excited and feel very spoiled. Now when we go to the sand dunes Greydon and I won't be stuck at camp and we will have a fun new way to get to the lakes when we camp in the Unita mountains. Let me know if you want to come over and take it for a spin =)

All bundled up to go for a ride



Me and Greydon pushing the buttons and testing out the head lights



Are we spoiled or what?

Playing in the toy box

Greydon's new thing is to get into his toy box and play. He is not big enough to get in and out with ease, so most of the time he falls in head first, cries for a minute and then stays in there to play.

He is high centered in this one.

 If you look on the right side of his face you will see a goose egg from him falling in head first. He is still all smiles because he is now inside.

Now he can relax and read his book.



The Hogle Zoo

We took our first family trip to the zoo and it was a lot of fun. Greydon learned to make Monkey noises and loved chasing around the birds that are all over the place.

Check out the Tiger directly behind us. Greydon continued to tell it "Kitty, Kitty Meow"

 If you ask me they are both Apes..lol.

 

Catching up on the pictures of our summer fun

I thought I would start our blog off with some pictures of our summer time fun.

Greydon's first fishing trip was to Mantua.

 I caught the biggest fish (of course)

 Darin caught this little guy...lol

Greydon's first trip to the sand dunes was in May

 Trying to stay warm by the fire

We went to Lake Powell in June for my uncles wedding. It was beautiful and we had a blast!

 Here is the entire wedding party

 Greydon thought it was the funniest thing that his feet would disappear in the sand.

 Since the wedding as on a private beach, we had to take a boat ride back to the marina. Greydon was partied out and fell asleep on the bumpy boat ride in his life jacket and all.

Greydon's first birthday was July 18th. My mom and I made this train cake for him. 

 Each train car had a different candy as cargo

 Greydon got a new trike for his birthday

 And a awesome waggon to take fishing and to haul all of his toys around.

 The birthday boy was out by 7pm

We went for a hike up Waterfall canyon and borrowed this awesome backpack.

 Greydon loved it.

We made it to the top

And Greydon slept the entire way down. That must be one comfy back pack!

This rainbow was over our house one day. We must live in home Sweet home, now if I could only have found gold in my back yard.

 In August we went camping to Hoop Lake with the Archuleta's

 This is the cage I make Greydon play in to keep him from eating rocks

 Marissa and I trying to keep the babies warm

 We caught a lot of fish and cooked them up for lunch

 Greydon also wore his helmet for the first time when we took him on his first 4 wheeler ride.

Greydon playing with his friend Lilli

 Him and Dunkin checking the high chair for leftovers

 She stole his cup

 They both love to knock or pound on the glass.

New to Blogger

I have finally decided to join the blogger world. My cousin Mjika gave me the great idea to use a blog as a journal to keep track of important invents for my family. I can’t guarantee it will work out, but I will do my best to keep it updated. Once I figure out how everything works I will post some pictures from our Halloween weekend.
