Update

I know that you were all so worried about ol' blue, well... he is back! It only took three weeks to figure out the problem; he needed a new ECU and distributor. He is back on the road with Clu, a happy camper. His old sidekick is ready for more & more miles! How long he will go, nobody knows!

Park City

Clu and I went to Park City for a little getaway. It was perfect while we were there. It was snowing and cold! The first storm of the season. The first night we went just the two of us while Nanny and Papa watched Max and then the next night Max joined us (due to scheduling conflicts). I am not sure if Max would've rather stayed with N&P. He had so much fun. He got 100% of their attention along with any and everything he wanted. We had a wonderful time with and without Max. He loved playing in the hotel room and was entertained by the corded phone and the closet door mirrors. I think that Clu and I need to hit the DI to find a corded phone for him. He loved playing with it and pretending to talk to G&G and N&P. He would sign one of them and then start jabbering. We hit the pool while we were there. The pool was indoor (in a breeze way) and so it was super cold (with it snowing outside) but the water was great. Max wasn't so sure about it, he was much happier in the big tub back at our room. He was so worn out that he slept until 10am the next morning!

Hallelujah!

Max is "officially" a nursery go-er.

This means sanitiy for mom and dad at least the last two hours of church. He is so friendly that I am sure he will love it!

New BFF

Max has found a new Best Friend: My brother Marcus came to visit and Max would not leave his site. He kept following him around and saying "Hey Ju" (aka "Hey You") and then would laugh. He was so sad to see him go. Come back soon! While he was here I was raking leaves out front and Marcus was kind enough to throw him in my pile and video it, while I was taking care of a mess in the house.

Max was a good helper before jumping in the leaves. After that he just wanted to throw the leaves all over.

Pray for him

It is a sad time at our house. Ol' blue has taken a turn for the worst. He is at the dr.'s waiting for a diagnosis which has put Clu in a foul mood. He was told that it isn't anything with the engine or transmission, so we are hoping for the best. He has been a good truck for Clu. The two have been on many road trips together (with over 270,000 miles on that thing. It still has the original engine and transmission with no major repairs). Clu hasn't had the heart to part with him. We have tried a couple of times, but he just wanted blue. We will see what the future brings, but to Ol' blue we say:

Thanks for all the great memories. There have been many trips to and from Salt Lake, the U, moving all over the valley, and I am sure some pretty great parties. You have survived 4 break-ins, oil dumped all through your interior, 3 stolen stereos and many flat tires. You have been kind to us. We just hope that all cars would be as good as you!

October come and gone!

I can't even believe that the month of October is gone and I am already posting Halloween pictures.
Max was more than happy with his Halloween costume. I don't even know if he knew he was dressing up. He just ran around with his club hitting everything (ball or not). Halloween was pretty low key. We visited family and went trick-or-treating to all of 2 houses (because G&G wanted to show him off - we were happy to oblige).

more to come!
