Goodbye Fall, Hello Winter!

This morning we woke up to snow.

Hard to imagine it was 70 degrees yesterday! I guess that's Utah for you. We heard we were in for our first winter storm this weekend, so we took advantage of the warm weather this week by going to the park every day. Yesterday was the last time we'd be able to go before it snowed, so I brought our camera. Remember, these were taken just yesterday! Unbelievable.

(It was so warm, we didn't even need jackets!)

Jaxon has learned to climb up slides and once he reaches the top he slides down backwards on his tummy. He loves it!

To help us transition to winter, we had warm and delicious soup and rolls for lunch today. It's sad to see fall go, but we look forward to enjoying the many perks of winter.

Halloween 2012

Even though Jaxon is still to young to go trick-or-treating (maybe next year), we still found a costume for him and had a wonderful Halloween.

In the morning, we went to the library for a special Halloween-themed story time, and for dinner we had yummy chili dogs and homemade root beer! My family would always make homemade root beer on Halloween growing up, so I thought I'd continue the tradition. Although Jaxon didn't drink any, he was still fascinated by the dry ice, which is really the best part about homemade rootbeer. :)

It was also the first time he had ever had a hot dog! He practically ate the whole thing- bun, chili and all. I'm telling you, he eats like a monster. Happy Halloween!
