A dog's secret love

Friday Finn and I went to the farm by our house. Too get Finn excited about Halloween, I bought him a tiny pumpkin. Later that day and the next day, any chance Oscar had to get the pumpkin he'd have it in his mouth.

By Sunday, after scolding Oscar for the 20th time to not eat Finn's pumpkin, I gave in and let him have it.

First he took it upstairs to try to bury it somewhere (this usually means he hides it in the closet). Even when we headed upstairs to go to bed, he brought it along.

He loves this pumpkin for some reason. He hasn't even tried to eat it, just carries it around, cuddles with it and licks it.

Word of the Day - Pockorn

Pockorn

I know what you are thinking, Finn is just trying to say popcorn. Every kid loves popcorn, right? My son loves something much more than popcorn though, just like his daddy. For some reason the word never comes out right. We've been working on it for months now and trust me he eats a lot of these so the opportunity arises often.

Pockorn
noun
1. frankfurter. Otherwise known as a hot dog.

Utah State Fair

Went to the State Fair for some great people watching and animal watching with our good friends Teri, Mark and Chace. Finn loves the animals from a far.
But not upclose.
Finn was scared to get close to the baby cow.

Cheese for my Lover

I missed the cheesy post about my husband and our anniversary because we were busy camping. A perfect way to celebrate!

We have been married for 6 years. We've been friends for 10 years and it's been the best 10 years of my life. (Sorry high school)

Ben is my best friend. He is the best dad and husband and helps me more than I could ever imagine.

He even lets me sleep in on the weekends.

And lets be honest, that is all that really matters.

I love you Ben.

Summer Fun

I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog. We've had a great summer full of days at the lake and bike rides. I'm very sad to see it go.

A few shots of Finn and BFC (best friend cousin) Gideon playing in the sand and on the pier.

The Zoo

We have only made one trip to the zoo so far this year. But we got to see the cute baby elephant. That was the highlight of the trip.

Cousins.

Summer Camping

We finally got out camping once this summer with Teri and Mark.

It was Finn's first time and he did pretty good. I think he was a little cold and couldn't sleep until we brought him into bed with us, then we couldn't sleep. Naps on the other hand weren't happening.

He was so dirty, and happy.

Finn also loved hanging out with baby Chace in the camper.
Occasionally Finn will still talk about going to the mountains and his tent. We can't wait for next summer to do it again.

Labor Day

On Labor Day we spent our millionth time at the Daybreak Beach. This was our summer, and I cannot wait until next summer to do it all over again.

Such a fan of the water.

Oktoberfest

We headed up to Oktoberfest in September for a few hours to enjoy the outdoors before summer was over. Here is Finn playing in the forest and in the jumping house.
