Supermarket Stop

First time sitting in the shopping cart.  I was so excited to see him able to do it.

Until...he let me know that going to the market close to bedtime isn't a good idea.

Happy Halloween!

Admiring daddy's carving skills.

Pumpkin guts=FUN

So, Rob thinks the hat makes him look like an elf, but it's cute nonetheless :)

Lisa Visits! (Oct 25-28)

Lisa and Logan came to visit from Minnesota for a long weekend and we were excited to have them!!!  Here are the boys patiently strolling while we toured Old Town Saturday morning waiting for our table to open up for brunch.  Thank goodness eating out with a 9mo old and 18mo old went smoother than I thought it would!

Stretching their legs and expending some energy before sitting down for brunch.

Saturday afternoon we had fun going on the New Belgium tour and sampling beer, wish Shawn could have joined us :)

New Belgium's tours were booked for the day, but Rob's shirt got us in! (The shirt was last year's Christmas gift from Natalie and Matthew and seems to be the gift that keeps on giving...yay for us!)

Our little Rocky Mountain (Belgium) Ranger.

Taking some time to play at the park across the street.  I don't have a picture of Logan, but he was busy mastering the slide...the boy operates without fear (and has 9 lives)!

A beautiful Sunday afternoon hike.  We went up the Poudre Canyon and discovered that the hike we'd planned on was closed at the trail head because of the Northern Colorado flood earlier this fall.  We instead hiked part of Greyrock Trail.  Props to Lisa for hiking with an 18mo old on her back!!!

The boys, resting at the top of our climb and getting a chance to stretch their little legs.

Funny story....Lisa was on the phone talking to Ryder, her 4 year old who stayed home this trip getting to spend some 1:1 time with dad.  He starts to ask her random questions about what I looked like (and what color my couch is - what?!?).  She does a good job providing him with enough details to satisfy his curiosity.   Shortly after she gets off the phone with him, we're looking at photos of the weekend and she says, "I should have just told him that you look like me!"  If you have a minute, scan through the photos posted of the two of us...it's pretty uncanny!

A photo Lisa grabbed the afternoon of the hike.  Love how his two little teeth pop out in the black and white coloring (thanks, Lisa!).

Enjoying the Packers' win over the Vikings (while the kids are sound asleep!).
