We had a fun 1st week of November. The weather was beautiful for most of the week, so we enjoyed the outdoors when we could. Here are some highlights.
Cute boys playing on the playground.
And playing on a rock.
Then over to play on the tractor for a minute at another playground.
Nyles doing his Zoom Art class while Carter joins him.
Carter won a free blowup bear/penguin at Home Depot. Good work Carter!
Cute Hudson trying out the Bumbo chair.
Nyles checking out the inflatable after he got home from school.
Now with Steve's hat on.
And it's a little big. Nyles thought it was pretty funny.
Carter, Hudson, and I went to the library and playground so Steve could study at home. He's preparing for his abdomen exam in December. It was a beautiful day.
Silly Piper trying to get the treats out.
We wanted to enjoy the sunny weather while we could, so we went on a short hike up to Lisa Falls in Little Cottonwood Canyon. We waited until Nyles got out of school then went. We didn't have much sunlight since daylight savings switch, so we went on a short hike. Poor Carter fell down on the way up the hill. He had his hands in his pockets and couldn't stop his stumble. Ironically I had just told him and Nyles to get their hands out of their pockets so they could have better balance.
The falls are slower this time of year.
Carter was still a little upset about falling down.
Exploring the rocks.
Nyles climbed up on a rock.
Then Carter wanted to get up on it.
Pretty view of the mountains. They actually rerouted the runoff from the falls to go down this way now, instead of where it went before.
Friday, after Nyles got done w/ his homework, we went on a longer hike to Battle Creek Falls. It was a little cool but still wonderful to get outside before the weather changed. Last time we did this hike it was the middle of July and it was sooo hot! I was also super pregnant, which didn't help w/ the heat. It definitely felt better this time around.
Nyles, Steve, Carter and Piper on our way up the hike.
Piper still wanted to get a drink in the stream.
Crossing the bridge.
Cute boys on the bridge.
And checking out the cave of course.
We made it to the falls.
It wasn't as busy as it was last time. We had the falls to ourselves this time.
Steve helping both Piper and Carter across the stream.
Good work Steve!
We then hiked a little further to the top of the falls.
A beautiful view from the top.
Cute Hudson asleep on the way.
After we got back we went over the "park" there to check it out.
There wasn't much there other than a pavilion.
The boys are having fun building w/ Legos. Nyles built a horse corral.
We got a little steam cleaner and I worked Saturday afternoon to clean the kitchen grout. It took a while so I only finished some of it. You don't realize it's dirty until you start cleaning. It looks so much better! You can see the areas I did clean and the ones I hadn't gotten to yet.
The weather was cooling off, so I made chicken noodle soup. Yum!
The boys and I then made dough and made mini pizzas for dinner.
We had extra dough so the boys wanted to make pretzels too.
They said they were just as good a soft pretzel they got at the pool once. Yumm!
While we were busy cleaning and cooking, Steve was out duck hunting w/ Rob and Ethan. It was Ethan's 1st time duck hunting. He said he really enjoyed it and wants to go back.
Rob and Ethan ready to hunt.
Ethan w/ a bird they shot.
Ethan enjoying the hunt.
Later once Steve was home we watched a movie w/ popcorn, and Piper wanted some of course.
Oh silly Piper.
And then it snowed Sunday.
Cute boys in the same outfit.
Cute Hudson in some warm clothes (thanks Rose).
More snow coming down.
It started to stick so the boys wanted to go play in it of course.
Good thought Steve found.
One I found a few years ago, but is needed even more so now.
A reminder on how important masks are (from our boys' pediatrician's office).
