Hobble Creek
[11.06.10]
Today we decided to take a drive up through Hobble Creek Canyon. We found a playground a ways up and stopped to let Drake play. He is a park man! He LOVES the park! This park was geared more towards older kids but he managed just fine. He is definitely less cautious now than he has been and was determined to try out every climber there. The weather was absolutely beautiful. Had we planned better, we could have stayed all afternoon. It was a perfect spot for an outing and a perfect day with my two boys.

Halloween
[10.30.10]
In keeping with the Musso family tradition, we had Dinner in a Pumpkin on the Saturday before Halloween. Mom was here for the weekend so we decided that it was a perfect time to do dinner. We added a new tradition this year... carmel apples. Oh, they were so delicious and super easy. Definitely a new favorite. It was great to be able to have the sibs close this year to share our DIAP.
I was a horrible mom and didn't dress Biggie up this year. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get into it this year. I knew he wouldn't know the difference so I used that as my excuse and I'm fine with it! It was rainy and cold on Saturday night anyway, so he would have been miserable if we'd have tried to take him out. I'll make up for it next year, promise!

** Aren't my green cabinets sweet?!? They are a perfect match with the mint chocolate chip carpet. A strange combination, don't ya think?
Grammy came to church with us on Sunday, Biggie is always much easier in church when Grammy is there. If only she could come with us every week. Church just isn't the same when you're wrestling with a little monster in the chapel. Why is it, that he is the absolute worst in church? It's rough.
Should I be worried?
This is my child's new favorite thing to do.
He gets the stool out of my closet.
He raids the cupboards in the bathroom,
and then proceeds to stack everything very strategically on the stool.
He does this almost every day.
It's really weird!
He is very good about cleaning up, though.
He puts everything back into the cupboard just as he found it!
I'm afraid he may be a little OCD.

Hee Haw Farms
[10.29.10]
Last Friday... Chris, Biggie and I, Bird & Bear, and the Eudis' went to Hee Haw farms in Pleasant Grove. Biggie wasn't quite old enough to really enjoy all of the rides and festivities, but it was a cute little place and a fun way to spend a Friday night.
Out of all the fun things to see and do, Biggie immediately zeroed in on a little go-cart and would not let go of it. He didn't want to ride on it or have anyone else help him move it around. All he wanted to do was push it around. He's obsessed with pushing things. We did manage to convince him to ride on the little train. He was super wary at first, but he eventually let us put him in one of the cars and cried when we took him out after three rides.
It was a fun night. Perfect weather, good company, and a hay ride! What more can ya ask for?!

The Zoo
Hogle Zoo
[10.21.10]
A few weeks ago we decided to introduce Biggie to the Hogle Zoo. He has yet to really discover the world of animals, aside from Otie, but it was fun to take him somewhere new. Grandma Weaver and Mike came along with us, which was super fun! It's great to live close enough to do things with them. Grandma was so excited to see the baby elephant! The elephant exhibit was the first stop on our tour of the zoo. Biggie didn't seem overly interested in any of the animals and definitely did not love the carousel, but he was a happy to be out and about. Overall, it was a fun way to spend the day! I'm sure the zoo will be become a favorite in the years to come.

And this...
...is why I win the "Mom of the Year" award, once again!
After three hours at the zoo without a nap, he was done. He started to whine and all he wanted was his "inky" so I caved and gave it to him. I really wasn't even planning to take it with us, but Chris slipped it in. So, yes... I let my almost two year old ride out of the zoo with his ragged old blankie and a binky in his mouth. (a binky that has been around since he was born. It's WAY to small. Not quite sure why he still sucks on it!) Oh well!
