weekly update

Not much new here...Eider is finally growing hair - we are so happy! we thought he might be bald forever ;)

He's becoming quite the little drool machine

Some Christmas pictures

I was experimenting today with lighting and camera position for Eider's first Christmas pictures...here are a few practice shots...

ENJOY!

More to come

Ride 'em cowboy!

Eider riding Danni Girl 

She lets Eider do pretty much whatever he wants to her...she is such a good dog!

Weekend Warriors!

We took a little trip to moab this past weekend. One can never go to moab and have a bad time...there are too many fun things to do, right?

This trip we decided to do more scenic activities than the rugged stuff we usually do cuz Eider, bless his heart, is still a little too little. We also took our friends, Troy and Nicole who have a 3 year old and an 18 month old. Needless to say, we were a little limited on what we could do; but that didn't stop us from having a good time!

So we camped in little cabins, played a little poker (with starbursts), 

drove through Arches, took the jeep off-roadin' and did a little bouldering. It was a fun and relaxing weekend...oh and we did a little shopping at all of the cool outdoorsy stores Moab has to offer. (one of my favorite parts of the whole trip!!)

Eider with his chalk mustache -- a future climber in the making!

Marking the boulder as "climbed!"

My son the cheese ball!

I like to call Eider a cheese ball cuz every friggin time I turn on the camera, he knows about it!

He loves to show off for the camera...already!

Bouldering trip to Triassic

We thought it would be an adventure taking Eider, a three month old, and Danni Girl our dog on a bouldering trip....boy was it ever an adventure! Actually, I would call it more of an experiment gone wrong -- very wrong! We won't be packing those two up until they're both a bit more grown up!

Eider cried all day and the dog kept running away -- needless to say Jess and I didn't get much climbing in...but, it wasn't a complete loss of a good day...we got a few good pictures of everyone.

Here are some of my favorites below, but if you click this link, you can see all of our pictures.

Halloween

So I wasn't very creative this year with Eider's costume...sorry! I really didn't feel like making a three month old dress up and be uncomfortable and then hearing him fuss all day ;) I was so not in the mood... 

Sorry son, you get the pumpkin onsie costume! Cuz your mom is cheap and tired!

Oh well, he's so cute anyway he can pull it off!
