Fall snapshots

It's nice to have a dedicated post on occasion for all the fun random photos from the past little while. 

Our friend Ashley sends the cutest cards and we love getting them:

Each year my office has a little retreat for work where we do some team building and usually a fun activity. This year was at a cool art studio where we got to create some of our own art which was really fun:

J loves to go down the biggest slides at the park:

And she's getting so grown up climbing as well:

Playing is always more fun with a sibling:

The park by our house has such great views:

They love rolling down the hill and doing somersaults:

J riding her tricycle around the neighborhood:

J at the playground:

Randomly found this marvelous book at the library recently:

It took some time, but we finally got our Peru art framed and I love how it turned out:

At work having lunch with dad:

A little mini reunion with some of the Philpot family:

Mom and daughter selfie:

We went to the circus for my niece's birthday. M liked parts of it but J was so excited about the whole thing. For days she asked if we could go back:

J was actually sleeping in this awkward position one morning:

Another mom and daughter shot at her cousin Mae's baby blessing:

Playing at the pool when dad had a work conference:

Feeding some goats. They'd love pets:

Enjoying the carousel:

M thoroughly enjoying a genuine ice cream sandwich:

J and I exploring around the neighborhood one morning when M was at preschool:

We took the kids to the the alpine slide in Park City. They both loved it. J is a daredevil. After we were done she told Erik "We turned like this! (gesturing with her hand.) Like superman, I can fly!!!"

He waited all summer for this:

My dad got a new pet Emu. This probably tops some of the strange pets we had over the years growing up. The kids think it's pretty cool:

Pajamas and a chocolate dipped marshmallow from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Talk about a relaxing day:

J had her annual follow up with the orthopedic surgeon for hip displasia. The visit went well and she was happy to see the whales on the mural at the hospital:

Erik and I went on a bike ride with some friends. It was a workout but fun to get out:

Looking down at Jeremy Ranch on our bike ride:

The kids with their great grandma. We were all happy to see each other:

More of the famous hill near our house. The other day we were driving to do an errand and M asked "Mom will you pull over and let us roll down the hill?" I said "Sure!" And he said "Thanks! you're a really fun mom." A nice compliment to receive from a four year old for sure.

Then M and J wanted to pretend to be birds in a tree. And we still had a few extra minutes so I let them and they were in heaven:
