Pre school vibes

 Pretty awesome when Alex comes over before school to walk to the bus with Dash.  Taco might be the most patient cat on the planet.

Hoopin

 Wednesday night hoops.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...(part 2)

More of our week with Baba Nanns!

Game night!

We had beautiful weather for some nice walks.

Trying to get Tippy to pose with us.

Hot tub licks!

And after a day over in Victor, of course we had to eek out the last of the nice weather and celebrate with huckleberry milkshakes and moose tracks ice cream!

My mom showing off her hard work and her new 2023 coloring calendar! If anyone is interested in buying one for a Christmas gift to yourself or any children in your life, they are a steal of a deal! $20 and all of the months are original artwork that my mom created, it makes for a great gift! BUY (lots of) THEM HERE! : ) 

 

Until next year....

Desert wrap up...

Sure do love this place!  

 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...(part 1)

 While Trevor was galavanting all over the desert on his dirt bike, my mom came to visit and we had a great week together! 

Diving right in and doing one of their favorite things together, drawing!

Baba Nanns was lucky to be here for Dash's short basketball season, she got to see a practice one night and a game the next. Dash's team won their first game and Dash made his first basket ever, which made the sidelines erupt in cheers and had us both almost in tears! Go #75!

She also got to see a swim lesson and we did a celebratory dinner night out. 

Of course, when Baba Nanns is in town we always have to make sweet treats!

Dash helping out with some chocolate chip cookies

And of course taste-testing their work afterwards!

Baba Nanns bonding with Tippy the Tyrant

And walks! We were able to get some nice walks in and some of Tippy's energy out!

Desert Moto'n

Long weekend down south in November was amazing as always.  

Took a day trip down to Moab.

This was a 12 hour ride.

 

PAC'n

Hanging with Dash and his buds down at the Pinedale Aquatic Center yesterday.  

 

WEll, well, well.

 Looky looky what has shown up!  My new buggy.  

Football Sunday

 Chucking the pigskin today.  

Work wanderings

Got my first turns of the season in yesterday on my lunch hour on a work trip.  Felt good to be back at it.

 

Happy Halloween!

 Quick morning makeup before school. After much back and forth and many decision changes, from wanting to be a banana (costume didn't arrive) to Harry Potter (all sold out), Dash settled on a creepy clown. At first he wasn't so sure about my face painting (because masks aren't allowed at school), but by the end of the day he said he really liked it. Phew!

We layered up before heading out for evening trick-or-treating. 

Trick-or-treating a quick walk away from Dash's friends house.

And they do it up right in this little complex. A flying owl skeleton bring candy down to the waiting kids. 

Dash and his crew

Assessing the haul

Taco the lovey helping Dash fall asleep after the sugar crash : )
