Thankful!

We have a lot to be thankful for this year, another happy & healthy boy added to the family! Always a good time to take a while to appreciate all that we are blessed with, including the amazing Grandparents! We had a nice evening to share together, & of course...lots of yummy food. 

Micah- almost 5 months

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

"Auntie Kiki" does SLC!

So, my cousin Kristin was planning to come visit us this summer....but we had to reschedule the trip because it ended up being the day of Micah's arrival! So...she came to visit this fall instead. We such such a fun time  & in all sorts of weather!

 Collin & Kiki playing computers (microsoft of course!)

 Kiki wanted to wear a sweat band & so did Collin...& Papa. :)

 Hiking Bell's Canyon in the snow!

 Welcome to winter!

 What's better than Kiki's cookies?!?!

 We warmed ourselves by the fire both nights...ahhhh. Precious! Zelli was sure to cuddle up too!

 Hiking in the SNOW, Mill Creek canyon

Group shot (go Vikes!) before departure. Thanks for coming to play Kiki!! We loved having you!

 Looking forward to seeing all the fam in MN at Christmas...soon!!!

Micah- 4 months

Our "little" man is now 4 Months old!! He's still an easy going, smiley sort of guy! Love him to pieces!

and love how brother wanted in on the photo too! Couple of cuties!

Super silly, just like Daddy!

Zion/Frog Hollow

We finally got smart & took a couple of days off before Jer's bike race to enjoy Zion National Park. We headed down the day before Halloween and loved the beautiful days we had! The kids traveled well, although it's amazing how much time & effort it requires...all for a 30min (if that!) walk. We spoiled ourselves with hotel accommodations vs. camping & it paid off in fabulous breakfasts, comfy beds, & swimming in the pool/hot tub!

Micah playing in the leaves & enjoying the view

Views from the trail

Jer & Collin at the Emerald Pools (upper). YES! Collin hiked all the way up, hooray!

Micah likes rolling in the mud

Family "selfie" :)

SOOOO excited (both of them!), Collin loved riding his bike every chance he got!

Jer giving us the home stretch "wave"! Go Papa, go!

Our little biker boy! Future racer?!

Stealing a Snickers at camp, little rascal.

Smiles at sunset

Jer's team placed 7th out of 14 teams, they did well & had fun! Until next year....hopefully Max & Bennett family will be back!
