And thus ends my "parking."  I am now only one month behind - but I am more than ready to start posting fall/October pictures from this year instead of last.  Three more months to meet my goal....I may not finish in style, but I'm going to finish. 

September 29

Boats - treehouses - and trains make this park a lot of fun.

A big swing for a little guy.   Life is good.

The "castle park" in Kaysville is one of my kid's favorites. 

September 21

The Jensen Nature Park I'm sure has cropped up multiple times already in my blog.  It is one of the biggest reasons why I bought the house I bought, though.  I fantastic park complete with a bridge - lots of trails - ducks- fishing - small decorative waterfall- waterwise garden walk through path - etc.  I'm for sure a big fan of this park that is only about a half mile from my house.  

September 20

Your run of the mill - garden variety kid park.  Not my favorite - but then again I'm not technically a kid anymore. 

September 19

So since the slew of these pictures are from last year - I really have no idea where this park is....but doesn't it look like fun to climb up a big patch of green stepping plants?  Perhaps it was somewhere in the same Layton park with the ducks.....the world may never know.  

September 18

This is a park in Layton by the library.  Complete with ducks - and little bridges.  It is one of my favorites around here.  I've ran The Classic 10K through this park a couple of times and have really enjoyed it. 

September 17

This is not your normal Merry Go-Round at all.  So here is my last plug for this fun park:  Legacy Junior High in West Layton. 

September 16

My turn on the swings.  Cade was kind of bored because I took so long playing on them.  He ended up entertaining himself with the camera. 

September 15

These are the "Swings" at the electronic park!  You spin and spin in them, and they are on an angle, and are surprisingly addictive. 

September 13

More "Parking."  This is one of the neatest parks ever made.  It is actually a playground that is at the new Junior High in Layton.  It has electronic toys geared for getting older kids out on the playground.  There are zillions of buttons to press - like video games - and no instructions - so you have to play to figure everything out.  I had a riot at this park.  Cade was a little confused - but he ended up having fun. 

September 12

While I play catch up - the latest installment of pics will be brought to you over the last two years.  These are pics of some of my favorite local parks.  This park is Veteran's Park.  It has yellow ribbons tied around many of the trees. 

September 11

A trip to Day Farms to pick some fresh tomatoes.   My garden is done producing anything.  So....we went and grabbed a giant bag of fresh tomatoes for 50 cents!!!  Minus the muddy shoes we had a blast out in the fields.

September 10

Cade's team was the Orange Crush.  Kiddie soccer is hysterical.  It is also a lot more fun for me to watch than T-Ball.  So far - I don't think I see big time "soccer mom" in my future though.  Cade had a lot of fun.  David had fun cheering his brother on, and we enjoyed some of the last sunshine of the year.  

September 9

Cade played city soccer, and that started to sound like a tongue twister to me, but my creative juices are zapped.  So....Cade played city soccer.  Say that ten times fast, okay?  Dare you!

September 8

Even though I'm not a huge fan of KSL - (as in I hardly ever watch it) -because I just think that church and news should be separate :)  - I did enjoy their teleprompter booth.  I end up frequenting Channel 2 news.  Maybe it is the fact that the 2 news people  are a little quirky - or that their office is across the street from the OBT and I walked past it for weeks - or maybe the fact that Kasey and his wife from the morning show are often running next to me on a treadmill at the gym  while I'm watching channel 2---- whatever the reason, I guess that is the local station that appeals to me at this juncture.

September 7

Bushels of Utah State Fair fun.  This was sometime in September. 

September 6

                                                                "Back" to School David's first day of preschool conincided with Cade's first day back on track.  This year round school is killing me.  Somehow we'll adjust to this on again off again stuff!

September 5

Even though they are posed like an engaged couple - this is my favorite school picture of the boys. 

September 4

 Oh to be little and cute again.........

September 3

These guys make me smile.  It is crazy to think that they are both off to school.  I must be a callous mom, because I didn't cry for either of them leaving me.  I excitedly waved goodbye and eagerly picked them up with big hugs.  I didn't mind so much the departures - maybe because I knew they would be back soon enough.  Apparently abscence makes my heart grow fonder :) 

September 2

I'm trying to stretch out my pictures here.  Prepare for an onslaught of Back to School pictures.....

September 1

David's 1st day of Preschool.  I hadn't planned on sending David to preschool for another year.  After all - he isn't quite three - and he is nowhere near potty trained.  But - it so happened that a friend of mine runs a preschool and offered to take David - with his diapers for a great price.  So, after talking it over with David - we decided to give it a try.  He was soooo excited to go and be like his big brother.  He insisted on wearing his brother's shirt and his backpack.  He loves telling us about his ABC's and he's slowly slowly slowly grasping the concept of trying to get along with other kids.  Now if only preschool would solve all his whining issues.......

August 31

Cade the kid played soccer whilst out in the wild. 

August 30

Eric and Cade got to go on the father/son campout together.   Cade is for sure our little California baby.  He cannot stand being cold.  Even when it isn't that cold - he has to be bundled up super tight.   He suffered from sun overexposure for the first three years of his life I'm afraid.  Poor kid. 

August 29

My boys just love bridges.  They beg to run back and forth and back and forth on them all the time.  In other news I have ....."you really ought to give Iowa a try...."  stuck in my head.  Help.
