it's a.....

boy!!!

looks like it's time to mix things up around here and start evening the scores. just a few more months and he'll be here!!!

Fall Getaway

We spent the last part of October in warm and sunny Southern California again. We're really going to miss this vacation when Lily is really in school. Maybe one more year, right?!

LaBrea Tar Pits

Our first day, unprepared, at the beach.

Our second day at the beach. Although the marine layer didn't burn off like we thought it would, we still had lots of fun.

Eating at Ruby's on the pier.

Palm Springs

We may have eaten a couple of times at Tyler's. You would too if you knew how amazing it is.

And we were back just in time for Halloween! Poor Zoe threw up in the car right after we took this pic, so she missed out. She still partook of the goodies!

Dentist, etc.

I finally took Lily to the dentist. She's a little overdue, but I was pretty sure she had a pretty healthy mouth. No cavities! She was sooo brave! However, the dentist did comment that her baby teeth are so tight (no surprise there!) that we should probably start saving for braces now! Yikes!

Sweet little munchkin.

Buz and I got to go to a gala for his work, it was fun to dress up (and go shopping in Hailey's closet!) and have a fancy night out!

LOTOJA

Ok, so Buz didn't actually participate in LOTOJA officially, but he did ride the last 60ish miles with his dad and our sister-in-law's dad. We passed them up Snake River Canyon and met them at the finish line.

Buz is in the Utes jersey.

Lee. He officially rode this same leg last year and it's been killing Buz that he's never ridden it.

Craig has the bright yellow shoes on.

Our sister-in-law's brother, Teal, did ride. The WHOLE thing. And he took 4th in his cat. And he's only 19. He's amazing. Congrats Teal! He's on the far left in the white.

My mom was kind enough to open her home in Wyoming for us all to crash at, and it's a fun little weekend trip to get in the spirit. If you've ever been to a bike/run/tri/whatever race, you know the spirit. Thanks again mom!

Utes and the Zoo

We went to the zoo Saturday morning, the first time Buz has gone with us on the pass. It was so much fun to hang out as our little family. All in red, of course, because the game was that night. Which Buz got to go to. And not me. But I'm ok, really.

Zoo Pass

Really excited. Really. A zoo pass is our year's entertainment, and I'm planning on using it rain, snow or shine. Who wants to go? I can get you in free.....

Preschool!!

The morning of orientation, Lily was excited and ready to go. This is exactly the moment I woke her up to get ready.

She had to have a little photo shoot before we were off, even though it wasn't the "official" first day.

Oh that face. So sweet.

And that one too!

This is the actual first day, after class. She looks a little tired, and I think she actually napped that day!

The second day of school, Lily and her bestie Elsie.
