Hiking/Scouting trip to Triassic

We wanted to go do something fun for the weekend, but didn't have much time since Jess had to be back in time to get ready for work at 10pm.
So Saturday, we hopped in the car and drove down to our favorite bouldering area called "Triassic" We mostly went down there to scout out new climbs and new areas, but we were able to hop on a couple of rocks.
We came to a quick conclusion that we really need to upgrade our child carrier to an official backpack instead of the little chest carrier that we currently have...Eider is getting BIG...very big! I could barely carry him...he looks so funny in the little carrier, but, since that was all we had, that is what we used! It was fun taking Eider out hiking...I hope he grows to love it as much as his parents!

As you can see, he is way too big to be in a chest carrier -- he is almost as big as me :)

Oh no...the obsession has started already!


Eider loves to stand


A rock full of little tiny pockets...it was fun to climb

Rock on!

Some petroglyphs we found out among the boulders - they were pretty faded, but still beautiful!

Fun with Eider

He loves to laugh...I love to hear him laugh!!!

I'm grateful to have this kind of love in my life =)

Peek-A-Boo!

Eider loves to play peek-a-boo...and so does his mom :)

Nothin' much new here...

How does that saying go...same sh*t-different day...ya thats kinda how this past week has been...nothing new to report, but I did take these great pictures of Eider:

Eider is into biting his bottom lip...it's pretty dang cute

I'm a thug - chu gotta a problem wit it?

Cutest picture ever!!!

OK...so what mom doesn't think that her babies are the cutest things ever!!! I happen to be one of those moms...

What kind of face is that?? He makes me smile...

Finally! smiles...

Ok...so not really a smile, but how can that face not make YOU smile :)

Eider loves to smile! He is such a happy baby, even when he is sick! We are very blessed!

Laughing baby

Some of my favorite sounds in life have been rain falling in pine trees, birds chirping in the spring, fly line whizzing past my ear--and many more...
but one of my new favorite sounds has to be my baby laughing. Hearing him laugh makes my heart smile!

Pony Express trail fun!

I'm so glad I got my camera in time for this adventure....

This past weekend we took our new Jeep Liberty out to see what it is made of...True to the Jeep legacy, it out-preformed all of our expectations! It was so much fun, especially cuz we were keeping up with the big boys in their tripped-out  CJ and TJ Jeep wranglers! I will post the video we took later once I edit it all and collect it from everyone that took it...

At the beginning of the trail, letting the air out of our tires...our fancy tire pressure sensors did not like that one bit!

We were playing in the mud and snow sloshing around everywhere in our "jeep caravan" The pictures just does not do the road justice! It was thick, wet mud that got everywhere!!

It's got a mud grin!  This shot makes our Jeep look more "badass" then it is in real life...

After playing out on the salt flats in the mud and salt...that was cool, but I think the salt flats were meant more for fast cars than Jeeps...;)

The salt flats gang from left to right: Lisa with her three kids, George with his daughter, Makayla, Dennis, and Jess and I

Our Jeep after climbing up through a deep ravine (I will post a video of that when I get it edited down to a smaller size for this blog)

We took so many great pictures, they wouldn't all fit...so CLICK HERE to see all of our fun pics!

ENJOY!

I've got the broken camera blues...

So I just broke my camera! bad word!! So no pictures for a while until I get my new one that I ordered off the internet.... :(

The way I cried when I broke my camera, you would have thought I had lost a child!! Good crud, was I ever sad...I didn't realize how much I loved taking pictures, until I couldn't anymore...

Oh well, that's just life...

More video of Eider

He is growing up so fast...

Watching him grow and learn is so much fun! This makes those first few months of wondering "why I had a child" worth it!

Kids are so cool...

Eider smile

My child loves to laugh and giggle, in fact he is full of smiles! He smiles all day! But the second I turn on that camera to catch him, he knows it...the smart little thing!?

It drives me crazy! Although tonight I did manage to get him to smile and squeal a little for the camera...but nothing like he normally does....

hmmm...I think I need to plant a hidden camera in our living room, maybe then I'll catch him!?
