Halloween in Park City













With Halloween falling on Sunday this year, everyone in Idaho celebrated on Saturday. Lucky for us we got to go round two in Utah since Lance had another week of school in Salt Lake to attend. Park City has an annual tradition of trick-or-treating down Main Street, followed by a dog costume parade! It was so much fun I'd go again next year! Did I mention that Andy LOVES dogs?? He was in heaven.

Trick-or-Treating

Started at our house...
Then on to Aunt Dana's where he got a whole bag of goodies! (Lucky, considering she passed out bags of Pretzels to all the neighbors.)
Sayde took off down the street with her little bell ringing
Andy was not sure what to think of the moving/talking witch
I love his little Mickey tail!
Had to bring the wagon, of course...
Inside this house we got to meet a lady who is 101 years old! She likes seeing all the children in their costumes, so everyone has to come inside; so cute!
Onto the next house!
Anna-Kate joined Andy in the wagon when she got too tired to walk
Heading back home with the little ones. It was around 40 degrees that night - quite warm for this time of year. Andy seemed to have fun; he always enjoys commotion, though he had no idea all the colorful things in his bucket were edible...maybe next year:)

Happy Halloween!

Mickey was very excited to see his jack-o-lantern lit up!

Puppy bed

Andy was sick for about 2 months strait. During this time we'd let him sleep in our bed because we felt so bad for him, and because we're first-time parents - dumb, dumb, dumb! When he was finally over the bronchitis, ear infections, hand-foot-mouth disease, and colds, and it was time for him to sleep in his crib again, the transfer didn't go so well... He would cry and scream for hours sometimes - it was so sad, and all our fault! So we decided to try the toddler bed, even though he is in the 10% of children his age who still don't walk. I found a cute toddler bedding set at Target online with dogs all over it. He was super excited about his new bed with puppies, and now sleeps just fine. When he wakes up in the morning he crawls out of his room and lets us know he's ready for breakfast! It's pretty darn cute, and he hasn't fallen out yet, so that's a plus:)

Snuggles!



Kansas City!

Rocky Mountain Power sent Lance to Kansas City in October to compete in the national lineman rodeo! He got to meet lineman from Brazil, France, Hawaii, and lots of other places. It ended up that he had done better at the regional one, where he got 3rd overall and 1st for his company, but he said it was a lot of fun and would love the opportunity to go again. His final results were 97th out of 260 - not too shabby.
