Halloween Nostalgia
Just a quick look at Sonja's halloween past before she trick-or-treats as a "nice witch" this Friday. For a nice twist, grandma and grandpa are going to take her trick-or-treating while Angel and I stay in and hand out candy.

Kate & Nate's Engagement Party
Last Friday night was good times… a little too good for me. Congratulations Kate & Nate, and thanks Tenille for throwing a fabulous party. Cause of death: Pomegranate juice, White Rum, Cointrau, and lime. Sorry to everyone that got a call from me at midnight declaring my undying love for you. I paid for it the next day with my head in the toilet and in bed until 3. I’m getting old…
By the way, have I mentioned that I have incredible friends? Yes, I have the absolute best. No matter how our lives have changed, we just seem to get closer and the good times just get better and better. Love you guys!
Love Strawberries
Angel slipped these into my lunch the other day. I found them at work, and yes... I cried. How cute is that?!

Donut Falls (Mmmm..... Donut.. Arghlarghargh)
Early Saturday morning we got up, grabbed some bagels (as is our Saturday morning tradition), and headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon for a hike to Donut Falls (thanks for the tip Stacy!). Things didn't look good at first because it was a little chilly and starting to sprinkle, but we decided to take a chance. It turned out to be an amazing hike. Once we got walking, we warmed right up, and it was a perfect trail for Sonja. We got to the falls, and decided to go all the way. It was a little slippery, but Angel slung Sonja on his back and climbed like a pro with me nervously following close behind. We made our way back down, and decided to go home and take a nap. Then, we got ready, went to Salt Lake Pizza & Pasta, made a stop at Barnes & Noble to get Sonja a new bedtime book, then went to Sugarhouse 10 for a cheap movie. Space Chimps was surprisingly hilarious in case you were dying to know. It was an amazing way to spend a Saturday!

Sonja's Random Comment of the Day
Sonja said this morning as we drove to work, "Kenny told me that Grandpa picks his nose..." And after a short pause said, "But he doesn't." Nice try Kenny, but Sonja always has Grandpa's back!

Sadie’s First Foods Natural
I am so proud and excited to announce the debut of First Foods Natural, Sadie’s on-line all-natural baby food biz. So far, she has been at the Farmer’s Market in Logan, selling on-line. If you have babies or toddlers, you have to check out her Baby Biscotti or Nana Sticks and more! For more info visit http://www.firstfoodsnatural.blogspot.com.
Donado TV Guide
When So You Think You Can Dance ended, Angel and I were not only in mourning, but also realized, we don’t have one single show to look forward too every week. Everyone at least has one show to commit themselves to every week, right? Well, we decided to take a chance on Dexter and Heroes. What is the verdict? AMAZING! Both of them! We have successfully become obsessed and, take note, will be glued to the TV and will refuse calls on Sunday and Monday evenings. Don’t worry, we promise not to neglect our child. She will be thoroughly entertained by Sesame Street on-line while we get our fix.
Sunday Afternoon at the Fair
We joined Chris, Breanna and kids at the Utah State fair last weekend. Sonja got to pet farm animals, ride a pony, and even play in a street band. She also woo-hoo’d down a big slide and up and over on the roller coaster.
We LOVE Sushi!
We have an addiction, really. We found a quaint little place called Oh Sushi that, unfortunately, happens to be right up the street from our house. And to make matters worse, Sonja may have a problem too! She is getting better with her chopsticks, and insisted on having a California roll all to herself. When they get their liquor license, there’s really going to be trouble.
Dancing Moose Montessori
It has finally happened! Over much turmoil, we have finally chosen a pre-school for Sonja. She will be attending Dancing Moose Montessori School on Tuesdays and Thursdays in October. It is a gorgeous facility with lots of light that they insist is vital to a learning environment. Security is top-of-the-line, with a check-in system and cameras in each room that allow parents, as they walk in the front door, to look-in on your child. As Sonja and I walked down the hall, teachers came to the door of their classrooms to greet us, and the children playfully waved at Sonja. We made our way to the playground that features a tricycle path where children can learn street signs, and teeny gardens where teachers and students grow sunflowers, lettuce, and my favorite, all the fixins for pizza (basil, tomatoes, pepperoni… just kidding) and they get to eat their fresh garden creation at the end of the season. So cute! They emphasize nutrition, with a chef preparing whole grain and organic meals and snacks throughout the day. And, they use the Montessori method, which Angel and I especially wanted for Sonja. Now, we’re preparing for her first day of school. CRAZY!
