Here boy!

I thought taking our time before we got another dog meant a few months or a year. However, we went to the super adoption today to walk around and ended up picking out a wonderful new pup. Wyatt is a 6 month old German wire hair pointer and labrador. Say hello!

Snowman

Second snowman of the season. This one was big enough Delcia couldn't tackle it. But she did rip his arm off. It's inverted and dreary, so we'll decorate for Christmas and be cheery.

Bubba, Big Rich, Bridger... We Love You

Goodbye big rich. You have been such a great dog, friend, and big brother. We love you so much and will miss you. When we got home from the vet Delcia got a raw hyde out and set it on the rug in his spot. We cried..... Godspeed our Bridger....

1st haircut

Delcia got here first official haircut today.

5.8 x crib mantle

Well we knew the day would come when the crib would not work as a restraint device. Earlier this week Delcia greeted Janessa in the bathroom while she was supposed to be in time out, and then this morning she bumped into mom in the hallway. She was kind enough to show us here method, and so we are either going to look for a top to the crib or take the side off.... Janessa is voting for a top.

GSL

We made it out to the Great Salt Lake today to sail with Dave. Delcia enjoyed movies in the stern bulkhead and climbing out of and jumping (with dads hand parachute) back in. The biggest hit of the day was splashing around on the beach..... au natural..

Fall time

Helping rake the leaves.


Playing in the leaves


Daddy built me a little climbing wall.




" I pulled all of daddy's shoes out of the closet, so that I could have a new place to hide."

Helping in the kitchen

Delcia helped Janessa make cookies this week and helped with the pizza dough today. She's quite the little helper.

They call me handy

We got side tracked on the bike ride when de noticed a screw driver on the work table. She stuck it right in the countersunk hole and proceeded to help dad out.

Bear lake

Janessa's family invaded bear lake for a week long family reunion. Supposedly their ancestors settled this area way back and used to have reunions here before ness's time. It sure is beautiful, cool, and big.

I..s..cream

We celebrated fathers day with Janessa's family monday and for a treat we made rootbeer floats. Delcia is no dummy and knew just how to help herself.... Though the utensils are still hard to figure out the trusted hand works well.

FENCING

Janessa was tired of waiting for me on this so she enlistment of our friends and we utilized trash pickup this year to rip down the old fence, which was falling down, and put up a new tall fence. Now we can enjoy the back yard, and contain Delcia. It wouldn't have been possible without our volunteer helpers. It looks great. Thanks.

This is the Place (for the March for Babies)

We had gorgeous weather Saturday for the March for Babies. Delcia was excited to be out and ready for the start that was delayed over a half hour, that's when she was ready to be out of her stroller. It was a hilly walk and Janessa had her work cut out for her, but we did have beautiful views of the valley.... Check out our sites if you would like to donate to the March of Babies.

Camping in Southern Utah

Well last week we skipped out on Utah's big late snowstorm and braved the wind and intermitent showers to go camping in southern utah. We head towards zion and camped in Red Cliffs. There was a short hiking trail next to our site that had some steps cut in the stone by the Anasazi Indians. We also headed over to Zion where Delcia and Grady got towed by Aunt Jenny through ZION NP.

So Busy, now that it's cold we'll catch up

Well today we got back from Delcia's third swim class. She was a bit grumpy today so class wasn't as fun. Generally she loves the water and can't wait to get it. She doesn't even mind going under, but don't you hold me on my back. I want to be up doing stuff. Here are a few pictures of our active guppy.

I p'd my pants @ target & all I got were these glasses

Pretty much our fault. We stopped for a bite to eat before heading into target and delcia loved the cold water and straw drinking a cup of water. She was dry as a bone when we went in and when the cart would no longer do mommy had to hold and noticed the warm sensation. Luckily delc's outfit could pass as a short skirt without the pants.

BUBBLEMAKER rhymes with??

Here Mom I'll Show you how to do this.. Also all we hear is bubbol. Pointing to a jar or her bubble making toy. With it snowing and nasty out today the bubbles only outside policy was nixed.
