FOCUS ALL ATTENTION HERE...

he makes it pretty tough to focus on anything else...

QUAINT LITTLE TOWN...

While on our way to eugene, oregon we stopped in sisters, oregon. it was a beautiful little town full of unique shops and good food. riley and i enjoyed a little time together just walking around and browsing in all of the little shops. we picked up this cute little dress for her and she was more than happy to let me take her picture.

3 YEARS, 4 MONTHS, 15 DAYS....

i really wanted to hang on to him for as long as i could. he is my last. i wanted to keep him a baby just a little while longer.(3 is still a baby in my book) for selfish reasons of course. but nothing can slow him down. he has his own agenda. and that agenda wants to move along at lightning speed and be as independent as possible. this week we are in boise, idaho. tyler thought he could ride his bike without training wheels. i thought no way he is just not ready. tyler was right. he helped him a few times and then josey just took off. just like that. and when he stopped he said.."no way! i did it all by myselves"... His super freakish coordination continues. Maybe it is because he is so close to the ground. i don't know. he has been riding his bike for two days now taking off by himself and i am amazed. now he is trying to do little tricks just like his big brother. i am now just waiting for the big first crash. maybe then i can baby him one more time.

THIS IS A TEST...

trying something new with posting photos...

DINOSAUR MUSEUM...

Living in the south dinosaur museums is just something you don't see every day...

SPLIT PERSONALITY...

josey suffers from split personality or has mood swings...whatever you want to call it. he can go from angry to angelic in a matter of moments as demonstrated in these pictures. both taken wihtin a minute from each other.

YOUNG CHEF'S ACADEMY...

This was a hit. Riley loves to cook so when I saw this I knew we had to do it. It was a cooking class for kids. This week was copy cat week so they got to make recipe's from different restaurants here in salt lake city. When Tyler and I got there to pick them up we got to sample their work. Yummy.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN...

...we just can't wait to get on the road again. Well we are back out on the road for the second fall in a row. right now we are in salt lake city. the kids and i went to a dinosaur museum yesterday and then in the afternoon they went to young chefs cooking camp. cooking camp was definitely a hit.
