Thanksgiving and Christmas

This year for Thanksgiving we had the Merrill side come visit us. Since we wouldn't be able to get together for Christmas we also celebrated Christmas early with them.

Right before Christmas we got hit with a pretty sizeable snow storm. Drew and Josh were up to the task of shoveling it though (Drew supervised).

Christmas Eve we had Andra (Josh's sister) her boyfriend Kevin (or as Josh says Tevin) and Matt Entwistle over for dinner. Andra was nice enough to bring the whole meal- zuppa tuscana soup and various breads and cheeses.

Christmas day Drew woke up to realize that Santa had come and brought him a new "Little Tikes" basketball hoop. Drew saw it and said "Whooaaa!". That alone made Steph and Josh's Christmas.

Trip to Florida

Last week we were able to take a trip to Tampa Bay, Florida. Steph had a work conference down there and it just so turns out that her Grandparents live down in Tarpon Springs. So Drew and Josh spent a good amount of time hanging out with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Jellum. We were able to take Drew down to the sponge docks in Tarpon, where we visited an aquarium, had some excellent Greek dessert among other things. At the aquarium we saw a shark feeding and 250 lb Grouper fish. After the shark feeding we headed down to the sponge docks and watch some sailors unload a fresh (can you call them fresh?) bunch of sponges. As we continued our walk we visited a Greek dessert shop (Tarpon has a huge Greek population) where we (Steph and Josh) shared a Greek chocolate mousse.

Overall the trip was fun, unfortunately the weather was rather cold (for Florida at least) and Drew wasn't able to get any time in the pool. All said though it was a fun quick trip to Florida and the Jellums really enjoyed playing with their great grandson.

Halloween Pictures

Well Halloween came and went, and we have been slow to update the blog. Drew was dressed as Tigger for Halloween this year, and he had a blast watching all the trick or treaters. He helped Stephanie pass out candy and was visited by his uncle Spencer. Josh had to work, but he isn't a big fan of Halloween anyways, as he sees it as a holiday for the little tikes.

Playing around

Last week was cold and snowy (yes it snowed) here in Utah. This week luckily has been much nicer, so we took Drew out to the little park by our house and took him down the slide. He both liked it and didn't at the same time. He found it fun, but sometimes the slide scared him a bit too.

Hospitals aren't fun, but Drew found entertainment regardless!

More in depth post to come shortly!

A Trip to The Orchard

Andrew got to help pick out our pumpkins for Halloween! He ended up getting a lot of little seeds from the ground stuck to his pants while he was "helping". He was a little tentative to touch the pumpkins at first, but warmed up to the idea as we were out longer.

We took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. Drew's first trip on the trailer. He was fascinated with the tractor- probably the wheels as they were so large!







We've been to this Orchard for 2 years in a row around this time of year. It is beautiful. It's a place called Southridge Farms, and it's located in Santaquin, Utah. We got some apple cinnamon donuts (Josh's favorite) and fresh Apple Cider (Steph's favorite). They have a cozy little country store inside with homemade jams, butters, salsa, and of course apples. There's also fresh homemade ice cream, fudge and pies! Although we did not get everything off that list, we do enjoy going and having a nice Saturday afternoon to enjoy a little piece of country for a while!

Loving to brush those teeth!

Andrew has developed a love for brushing his teeth. So much so that he gets really mad when it's time to put the toothbrush down. A couple of nights ago he decided that he wanted to walk as he brushed his teeth, and we found it amusing, so here is a clip.

Drew turns 1!!!!

So Drew is officially 1 year old. Friday was his big birthday bash. We ended up with over 30 people in attendance for this big event. The little man was actually quite spoiled with a plethora of gifts. Ranging from the new radio flyer to clothes (including a Brian Urlacher baby jersey), and probably his favorite gift a squishy ball with eyes from his uncle Dan. Drew loved playing in his cake and he actually ate some of it too. Overall it was a fun party for the little guy.
