Exploring my World

There's a lot of neat stuff to see and do around my house....
There's fun and tasty dirt right outside the front door.

The washing machine is AMAZING...

Hey who put this climbing wall here?

The wood stove is pretty much the most dangerous play area I could find.

Yeah.

That's how I roll.

The dog/cat water dish is a great place to wash my hands....

And while I'm here I might as well have a drink!

I crawl!

'The worm' is officially obsolete.

More good times in Wayne County

We spent last weekend in Loa with lots of good friends. The big people played cribbage and horseshoes but I had more fun than anybody. Daddy drove me around in the "Mule", Jake gave me some of his toys to play with, I got to take my baths in a big people tub, and I got held and cuddled by a whole bunch of nice folks.

Nature Boy

On Friday morning we took a quick trip into Blacksmith Fork Canyon, just a few miles from home. The dogs had a great time fetching sticks in the river and running through the grass and the trees. I saw the biggest tree in the whole wide world (at least in my whole wide world) and really enjoyed being in the wilds of the woods.

My First Wheels

FINALLY! Daddy figured out that I'm big enough to drive a shopping cart. I'm not sure why there are two steering wheels, but luckily I'm ambidextrous.

Grandpa Dale came to see me

Last night we had a visit from Grandpa Dale. I stayed up as late as I could so we could spend as much time together as possible. I sure like the way he talks to me and the tickley stuff on his face and especially that shiny thing on his wrist. If I could only get it in my mouth.....

Uintah Mountains Weekend

We had a really nice weekend with the Greens at their family cabin in the Uintah Mountains. Daddy got to go fishing, mommy got to go hiking, and I got to play (and play and play) with my good buddy Braden. Braden turned 7 on Wednesday. He's SO OLD!

The Worm

Sam's Birthday Party

On Sunday we went to Ryan's Place Park in River Heights to celebrate my friend Sam Thompson's 2nd birthday. Daddy and I had great fun touring the playground - what an amazing place! The park was created in memorial to two-year-old Ryan Adams who drowned in a Lake Powell in 2006 and is truly a wonderland of things to see and do. I donned a party hat and enjoyed my first little bits of cupcake (don't tell Mommy) while Sam blew out the candle on his cake.

I'm 9 months old!

Sitting is for babies. I'm a big boy and I've got more important things to do than hang around and have my picture taken.

Quick Trip to Bear Lake and then... dunt dunt dunnnn

On Friday we loaded up the truck and headed over to Bear Lake. We got kind of a late start and then got held up in Logan Canyon by construction, but when we finally got there, WHEEEE! What a wonderful place to play! The water near the shore is shallow and is just the right temperature for cooling off. Brody likes to run through the water and roll in the sand. Joie likes to go out a little further and swim in circles. After we had our fill of playing in the water we drove back into the canyon to find a camp spot. Mommy and Daddy's favorite spot along the Beaver Creek road was taken (DARNIT!) and it took us awhile to find another good one. We eventually found one in Franklin Basin and boy, was it pretty! Lots of flowers were blooming and we had great views of the rocky slopes in the distance. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.... ...until it was time for me to go to sleep. Suffice it to say that no amount of cuddling, nursing, 'crying it out', or even driving around in the truck could settle me down for the night. At midnight the folks finally got my message and packed everything up and took me home to my crib where I promptly fell asleep.
