Here is my most recent work. This was given as a Christmas gift to Kyle's mother.

Utah: Tunnel Fun

Meghan's Utah grandparents like to have fun toys for kids to play in. Here is the play tunnels they set up for her.

Meghan's daddy thought the tunnels were fun too, but he didn't quite fit in them as well as Meghan did.

Raaar! Tunnel Monster!

Utah: Sunday at Nana's House

Here is what Sunday afternoon was like for Meghan:

Get toted by Daddy,

Get toted by Uncle Brian,

Get toted by Oompa,

Watch Daddy and Uncle Brian play Foosball,

Eat cookie,

Get Messy,

Play with toys.


And Sunday for Mom?
Play Puzzle....

Utah: Playing Pinball

Kyle's parents have a pinball machine in their house. Equal parts bright lights, loud noises and fun distraction it's entertainment value is phenomenally high. Meghan absolutely loved playing pinball with her daddy. Daddy, however, found it very difficult to win when Meghan was 'helping' him.

Utah: Babysitting

During our Utah vacation, we took the opportunity to visit more than just the Butt family. We visited the Knorrs as well. Since we were on vacation with nothing better to do, Corinna realized that we were perfect candidates to babysit Vonn while she went to the dentist. So we went and had a lot of fun too.

Meghan showed Vonn her favorite game: Spinning Chair.

Of course, there was plenty of other fun with Vonn's toys.

After her dentist visit, we had lunch and Uncle Bruce stopped by to say Hi.

Utah: Museums and Aquarium

While we were in Utah we did lots of fun stuff. We went to an art museum, a stuffed animal museum and an aquarium. The art museum didn't allow pictures because that can damage the paintings and the aquarium didn't allow pictures with the fish. But there was some fun places to crawl into and snap shots of. There was also a place you could pet some manta rays and some other weird things like sea slugs. The stuffed animal museum was fun too.

Here we are at the stuffed animal museum.

And here we are at the aquarium.

It was a tight fit getting all of us in there.

Playing with Aunt Janelle

Utah Status: Cold

While we were in Utah we got to enjoy the snow. Or rather, Meghan and her dad played in the snow while mom stayed inside where it was warm. Meghan loves being outside so much she didn't mind the freezing cold. It doesn't really snow in Maryland so it was quite an adventure for her.

Going To Utah

Over what some of us think of as Christmas Break (at least, those of us who go to school, went to school at some point in their life, or is parent to children who go to school), we went to Utah to visit family. It was quite fun. On arriving, the first thing Meghan did was.... climb into the toybox (for humorous reference see blog post titled "Boxes").

She also got to try on lots of different hats. I must say, she carries them well.
