playing catch up

again... I am turning into a bonafide blogger slacker. It's been 2 months since my last post. That's terrible. Here's an update on what's been happening at the Stringham house over the last month.
We took a road trip (Kade's 1st one) down to Moab in mid October and hiked around Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. It was awesome! The weather was cooperative most of the time and it was really good to get away with our boys and enjoy the beautiful sites and weather down there. That's a trip we'll definitely be taking again... hopefully when the boys are old enough to hike on their own :o) We took a ton of pictures; but there's only so much I can post.
Then Halloween crept up on us. We didn't take Jack trick-or-treating because #1 it was pouring rain and #2 he was a royal grumpelstiltskin; aka Mr. Ornery-pants. He did NOT like his costume very much. More specifically, he hated the "hood" or monkey head of his costume. He freaked out every time we tried to make him wear it. We could barely get any good pictures of him. He didn't understand the whole 'trick-or-treat' concept anyway. He just wanted to eat all the candy and got upset when we gave it away to the trick-or-treaters. Hopefully he'll understand better next year.
Then, before we knew it; it was November and Jack's 2nd birthday. Time flies. I can't believe I have a 2 year-old. I'm starting to feel old ;o) Coming soon: Watch for pictures of Jack's birthday happenings.
