September 2017

September... welcome fall weather, football, Oktoberfest, and fall colors. We are a Utah family and are thrilled with our undefeated Utes- though the games have been very late this year. We had our annual lunch at snowbird and danced to German polkas. Jefferson mastered the climbing wall in our park and just in time because it has now been torn down and we are getting a new playground, but who knows if it will have a climbing wall? We turned our laundry room into a mini art room and have had fun with chalk, paint, and creativity. Our garden has overgrown with tomatoes- so so many tomatoes from just 3 plants! And because Jefferson just loves loves trains and has treasured his Trax ticket we took a fall road trip up to Heber and had some delicious cheese curds, fresh peach ice cream, and took the train to Deer Creek. It was a perfect fall trip with the leaves just turning in park city. 

Jefferson Amal is almost 3 and asserting his independence all the time. He is really not yet interested in the potty and gets quiet whenever it is mentioned. We were at the library and I asked the librarian about potty training videos and Jefferson burst out "but mama I don't want to get potty trained." Ha ha, he definitely is our little "wild thing" as the picture below demonstrates. He has to wear his sunglasses or crown everywhere- library, church, and people just smile. He keeps us laughing.
