NYC 2013

We might be dreaming a little bit, but we would love to have and annual NYC trip. So far we are two years in. :) We love renting a little (or huge by NYC standards) apartment and just come and go as we please. Jude already has a soft spot for NYC in his heart. We rent bikes and throw Jude in his seat on the front and off we go. We bike EVERYWHERE! We are all so tired and all of us pretty much crash around 8:00 pm. We party hard. 

After a Red eye flight over we had to wait until 2:00 pm to check into our apartment. (We arrived just before 7:00) We were super tired but so excited to get our trip started. We killed a lot of time in Central park that first morning. I forgot Jude's shoes when we dropped off our bags and so Jude just spent the entire time running around in his footy jammies. I was so disgusted but out of options. :) The pic on the right looks like a big foot spotting. 

We quickly made our way to Times Square to hit the Toys R Us store. Jude was dying to see the T-rex. Who is broke right now but still fun. We had to make our way down there twice for this obsess-er. 

We claim the toy stores are for Jude but I think its pretty obvious who really wants to stop in. 

Jude could not get enough life cereal while we were there. Pretty much breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

BIKING!!

Returning the bikes at the end of trip was a heartbreaker. 

The many parks

The high-line park

Just out and about

This is the subway ride that Jude almost started a riot. (I'm exaggerating, but it sure felt like it.)

 

The Natural History Museum

The Cab ride back to the airport. Always a bitter sweet. 

September

September slipped past in a blink. But here is what were were up to that month. Excluding our NYC trip which I will do a separate post later. :) 

Cracks me up all day long with the silly things he does. 

September was such weird weather. One day it would be 90 degrees. The next 45. So weird. But I kinda love hats and boots so it's not all bad. 

Daddy took Jude to the reptile fair while Mommy went shopping at City Creek. But they had so much fun I was a little jealous. 

ALWAYS has a bruise somewhere but lately its been only on the forehead. 

Here comes another one.

Too cool

Jude's cute cousin Seattle took care of him for two days while Mommy and Daddy took off to Vegas. We had so much fun. 

Such a weirdy sometimes. I love it! 

Liberty Park day

He looooves tomatoes. 

The Utah State fair. This is something I had never experienced until I met Marc. It is quickly becoming a family tradition. Jude loves all the rides and cute activities and the people watching is better then the airport. :)

Mommy had an awesome night off at traffic school and Jude was so excited about getting a hamburger with Daddy and was so excited about his boys night out. 

Obsession. 

The world of Jude

Just some things we been up to lately. 

Snowbird

Jude is Terrified and obsessed with this elephant dog. Asks for it over and over and refuses to watch it. 

This elephant is also very scary but Jude is still too curious to stay away. 

Still love to spend time in the back yard. We spend at least an hour every day back there. 

When Jude is trying to hide from me he'll hide just his head under the pillows. On this particular day. He didn't want to put pants on. I was dying over his skinny lil bum sticking out as he thought he was totally hidden. 

Loves tomatoes. Especially garden fresh tomatoes. 

The other day our neighbors sweet little dog got out and Jude cornered it in the garage and was reading to it. It melted my heart. 

Helping Daddy wash the car. 

Jude got new Hulk Smash jammies and Captain America Jammies. He really does believe he has super strength and powers when he's wearing them. He'll flip and jump and run all over the place in them. We let him wear them to target the other day and he thought it would help him carry this big box with daddy. 

Family cook out 

My cute friend Jody was in town with her cute kids and we had a great time catching up. 

Jude looooves these Hulk Smash Popsicle. They are just a spinach smoothie frozen. I love when you can trick a kid into eating something good. 

Found a "Snake" in the backyard. He was obsessed. 

We live by an amazing park that we can't get enough of. 

Loves playgrounds. 

Jude was trying to stuff all the balls he could get his hands on in his shopping cart. 

We just love the occasional rain and thunderstorm. 

Jude has always thought the IPad was pretty cool, but recently I have to fight to get it away from him. He's totally figured out how to control and pull up whatever he wants and it is a new world of cool. 

I love this picture of Jude helping his Grandma Pat make Ice-cream. He was so excited.
