Our first family hike

Ready to go, Mama?

I hereby claim this mountain!!

Oh, the mountain is up that trail?
 

Lovin' it!

Just a short rest...

Home is kinda far away right now...

Glorygazing.

I'm cold.  Let's get off this mountain-thingy. 

Garden of the gods

You can't be in Colorado Springs without spending some time at the gorgeous red rocks!

My boys were made for the mountains...

My rock climber in training. 

A new friend...

A kitchen my size!

And a new friend, Molly, who shares really well!

Definitely a chef in the making. 

This is my camera smile!

Mom, this toy makes noise.  

Growl!!  So can I! 

Maybe I'll be a zookeeper...

The Exodus

The animals are determined.

They will not be left behind.  

Siah is giving marching orders. 

And puts the old dog in charge. 

He's an old pro.

Looking out for each other. 

The move has begun. 

Every boy needs a....

A toolbox.  Very cool.

This is a pretty cool toy...

I can conduct the orchestra now...

Now, what should I do with you?

Baby Days...

I'm liking this self-feeding, mom! 

Uh, I dropped one. 

My sun baby.

Mom, can I help you pack?

Well, I didn't want you to forget me!

The Bug turns One!!

First Birthday Present!  

You mean, I can actually rip it?

Fascinating...

This is the biggest book I own!

Cool pictures...

Clifton played me a birthday song...

Grandma and Bop came to my party a bit early....

And brought another present!

Wow!  I like it.  What is it?

Mom, what's that strange light?  Can I eat it?

Why are all these people singing and looking at me?

What do I do now?

What do you mean, blow? 

About to embark on a new adventure!

Yummy!!

Definitely, a yum. 

Opening Mima and Papa's gift. 

Beatrix Potter books! 

Party Friends. 

I love cards.  

A blanket from Mima.  Oh, so comfy.  I could sleep if these people went away. 

What is in here?

Yep, one stylin' baby. Now one year old.
