Thanksgiving Weekend

We had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend as a family although we don't have too many pics to show for it. Here is a recap of the fun we had without any pics. We went over to a friends for Thanksgiving dinner and Breitling had a blast tearing apart a new house and playing with their 3 kids. On friday we got a babysitter and we went with the Lewis's cross country skiing on the trails behind our house. I fell down and up the hills too many times to count, but we had a blast! Tracie and I went again Saturday night and took a non hilly route and I did much better. On Saturday we had to watch one BYU game of the year and since we don't get the games on our tv we went to it at a sports bar. Breitling enjoyed it too although he could have done without all the Ute fans hollering in the room. Every time they cheered he would cry.

Parker puts his big shirts on him and and my belt and lets Breitling run around with his flashlight in the dark and pretend he is Yoda. Breitling just feels super cool in his big shirts.
We got a foot of fresh snow on Thanksgiving but it was super warm so when we got home from dinner we went out and played. We tried a new hill for Breitling that was less steep and longer and he loved it! Here he is at the top getting ready to go down.

Then Parker covered his whole body up in the snow(except his face of course) and then Breitling would hurry and uncover himself.

On Friday night we warmed up after our skiing with some soup and a crab feast. Breitling and I just opted for soup, but here are those enjoying their crab.

First Birthday!!!!

Opening presents when he woke up....

Playing with his new train. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!

Making frosting for his cake. He loves to help me in the kitchen and he loves noises, so he is very fascinated by the mixer. Check out that grip! He holds on tight even when it is on high speed.

Check out that awesome cake!!! I was so proud of myself for doing such a great job on my first cake!

After his first few bites he realized he liked sugar and smiled.

We did just a little party with four of his buddies. Here he is opening presents...

This has quickly become his favorite toy. It is a dinosaur that has a flashlight in its mouth. When you squeeze the tail his mouth opens up as he roars and the light flashes. Here he is roaring with it.

He is playing ball with his friend Janella. He just loves her and couldn't stop hugging her all night.

After all the crowd left he got to play with his new hockey stick. Thanks John and Tracie!

Post Birthday morning he ran all over the house with a balloon in each hand. Thanks Marshall for his new cute jammies!!

And lastly a video of him trying so hard to blow out his candle.

Just Having Fun

Parker is always putting things down Breitling's shirt because Breitling has fun trying to get them out, so I wasn't surprised the other day while Parker was at work and Breitling came up to me with his onsie full of odds and ends. You can tell in these pics his shirt is full. I took the toothbrush out, and in the second pic he is trying to put it back in. Funny kid.

Parker and Breitling just love it when we buy things and get a new box to play with. Our latest box has a handle on top. They just love it because Parker carts Breitling all over the house in it.

First Snow of the Season!

This week we finally got snow that stuck. I took Breitling outside with his friend Truss that we have been babysitting for a few weeks. Breitling had a blast figuring out what snow was. He didn't even care about face planting it a few times.
Telling me "oooh, mom it is cold!"
Just face planted it.
