Eden Utah

This last week Tim's family rented a condo in Eden, Utah (just up by wolf creek and pineview reservoir). The condo was gorgeous, a little over done in cowboy decorations but gorgeous nonetheless. His parents were nice enough to let us have the master suite with a California King the room also had a twin with a pull out trundle bed that Ian enjoyed sleeping. I have decided that a queen bed is just to small for our bed -I need lots of room!

While up there we did a lot of biking which Ian loves. He also had fun wearing our bike helmets. Don't worry Buzz and woody came along on all of our biking adventures.

An attempt to snap a picture of the three of us -like I said "attempt." And no- I am not sick people -I am just not wearing any make-up! The allergies up there were absolutely horrible. There was so much cotton flying threw the air it looked like snow. There was no point in wearing make-up my eyes watered so much it would have all washed away or I would have looked like Marilyn Madson -ahhhh!

We found a fun place to stop and take a breather -Ian loved throwing rocks and trying to skip them like the big boys.

Ok- many comments could be made about this picture in regards to Tim. I can think of many but..."if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all!" Thus I will leave it at that -looking good babe!
Ian throwing rocks and loving when they splash in the water.

We also were able to do some hiking. We started out by letting Ian walk on his own in front of me. However after having taken 10 minutes to move not even 5 feet away from the car (he had to pick up rocks and look at bugs) we put him in the pack.

Ian playing with rocks and looking super cute doing so.
He would also growl and the bugs and tell daddy to "Get em" after he got bored watching them.

At the end of the hike we headed into the Butterfly Garden's shop and got some fudge and truffles. Ian did not really enjoy sitting in the butterfly chair though.


Ian had a blast and did remarkably well. The first couple of days he struggled with his naps and would finally get so tuckered out he would fall asleep anywhere. But eventually he got into more of a routine and would take a little nap in the afternoon.

We even managed to fit in some Go Kart racing. Not for little kids though just big kid racing.
Ian sporting the helmet protective wear.

After each race he would rush to wear daddy's helmet.
After the everyone finished racing they let Ian play the arcade games.

After the girls enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the Spa, that last night we all headed out to see Toy Story 3. It just so happened that we watched Toy Story 2 with everyone the night before (if you haven't seen it in a while I suggest watching it before you see the third). We figured Ian would absolutely love it since you can hardly get his attention if Toy Story 2 is on. Sure enough he did and so did everyone else! Anytime Buzz would disappear off the screen he would shout "Where's Buzz?" The theater we went to was super kid friendly (Walker Theaters in North Ogden) they even had booster seats for the kids to use. Ian loved sitting in his own chair and eating snacks and popcorn. When we got out of the movie we asked Ian if he liked it and he said, "Yeah, again."
