2009 Summer & Fall

I got really behind posting pictures this summer and fall, so here is a mass update of what we've been up to. And I promise that I'll keep on top of it better through the holidays :)

Sophie picked out a gummy nose from the candy basket after Halloween and Jed and Abby decided that they wanted their candy to be a nose too...
Trick-or-Treating around our neighborhood with Landon and Ava. Jed as a dinosaur and would growl to scare people. It was pretty fun to watch him try to run with the dragon tail in the back bouncing along.

Playing at Leo's Pizza.

Jed wanted to take a couple pictures with my camera while at the pumpkin patch. This is one of the pictures, not too bad eh!

At Fire Prevention Week. We got to tour the Fire Station and the Fire Chief even went down the pole for Jed, he thought that was pretty awesome.

Jed's hair turned really blonde by the end of the summer.

Alexander's 2nd birthday. We went to the zoo and park.

This is the smile Jed gives me when he's up to no good...



We went to a water park in Pocatello with the kids during the summer.

Having a picnic by the dam in Palisades with Grandma and Grandpa Page.

The boys playing with their jeeps.

Natalie Page.

Yes my child must be slightly redneck-ish if he gets this much enjoyment out of a garbage can...

Like father like son. Cleaning Sid's jeep for his birthday.

Abby and Jed after we took them to a movie at Edwards. They had so much fun and now whenever we drive past Edwards Jed recognizes it and wants to go to a movie.

Cute pic of Abby at the Rexburg water park. (Suzy - I have about 20 of these pics with your sis so I'll email or save them on a drive so you can have them, lots of cute ones)
A pic of Jed on his 2nd birthday :)

John decided to implement a new tradition. He wants to get Jed a gun for every birthday. Jed certainly likes his toy shotgun and will lay prone on the ground and aim at birds just the way daddy taught him.

Jed goofing off while camping this summer. I couldn't keep him dry or clean for longer than a couple minutes cause he was always jumping in every muddle and rolling in every dirt mound.

Planting a kiss on his mama.


Feeding the geese at the greenbelt. They were aggressive little birds and Jed couldn't decide whether to chase them or run away from them.

Our Trip to Paris - April 2009

One place we definitely want to go to while in Paris was the Louvre (the largest museum in the world). We got to see many amazing things, including the Mona Lisa. My personal favorite were the Greek sculptures.


We had a lot of fun eating outside at some of the many cafe's that line the streets of Paris. We had nice spring, sunny weather while we were there (most days).

John and I dining at their cocktail reception.

The Palace of Versailles was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. These pictures just don't do it justice, although I really tried! The gardens stretched on for miles with walking paths, water, fountains, trees, flowers, sculptures...absolutely amazing.
This sculptures seems like the epitomy of relaxation.
The Arc de Triumph...way too big to get a photo of in one shot.

Our hotel was within walking distance of the Louvre gardens, so quite often we would walk there to relax between activities. We had a view of the Eiffel Tower where we sat.

Montmarte is an artist district in Paris. It is up on a hill and has a beautiful view of the city of Paris. This picture above is the Basilica resting on the hill in Montmartre.


Our hotel while we're waiting for the guide groups to gather together. This is the only picture we have of the hotel, but it was a real treat. It had really nice accomodations, but was also located within walking distance of most places we wanted to go.




Reims Cathedral on our trip to the French countryside.

I wanted to get a closeup on the gargoyles of this gothic cathedral in Reims.




Notre-Dame as the sun was setting on our river boat cruise. We were able to enjoy good food, live music, and see the sights of Paris along the river while the sun was setting. Then after the sun set it was even more amazing because Paris lives up to its name as the City of Lights. Everything was lit up, from the Eiffel Tower to all the buildings and bridges. It was a night John and I won't forget.
