"This is the place" Halloween






Yesterday we took Noah to "This is the place" Utah state park. It was alot of fun. And it not only presented a good oppurtunity for us to enjoy the upcoming holiday, but we were also able to learn a little bit more about the early pioneers who settled Salt Lake City. They had booth's set up in different locations where the kids could do different crafts. None of which peaked Noah's interest. He was more interested in the candy (which the park was handing out to trick-or-treaters). They invited parents to bring their children dressed in costumes, which ended up being alot of fun. Noah initially had decided that he wanted to go dressed as a cowboy/pirate, but Jennifer with her never ending foresight thought it best to bring the Batman costume, for the "just in case" back up plan. As it turned out, we needed the back up plan. After walking through a couple of the old buildings and taking a train ride, we headed over to see the animals. Noah was able to take a pony ride, which lasted about 30 seconds. At least Jen got a couple of good pictures. We then let Noah run free with the dangerous baby goats and lambs (the horns actually were kind of scary). He was sure to correct a girl who looked to be about his same age, that the animal she was calling a goat, was in fact a sheep. He was right!!! He got a little nervous around the pigs but managed to pull off a smile for the camera.

New addition to the Walters family

Jaden Colton Walters 10-2-2008






The newest addition to our family joined us on Thursday at around 4 p.m. We went as a family today to go and visit Noah's newest cousin, Jaden. He weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs and 13 oz. and was just shy of 21 inches long. The kid is a spitting image of his daddy, Colton seemed to be proud to now have a complete set (son and daughter). We got a chance to visit for a little bit, it's always good to be with family. I think most would agree that there is a special spirit present when a new born child enters the world. Noah seemed a little timid around the kid, he seemed to realize that we needed to be soft around the baby. Of course, when we broke the camera out Noah had to put on the monkey face, I think he gets that from Jen (just kidding).
