Snapshots though the month...

Well it has been way to long since I have 'blogged'. We just haven't done a whole bunch with our camera lately. However finally in the last week or so I broke it back out. :) Ayden is growing like a weed. I think he is up to a whole 23 lbs now (at his last doctors visit he was still in the scrawny percentile... 5%) But thats ok because we still love him and he is growing faster now. I call him a grazer. He can't sit still long enough to eat, so he eats on the run. Takes a bite goes and plays and then comes back and takes another. The boy can't sit still (I have heard he is a little like me but I can at least sit still long enough to eat) Ha ha... Anyways here is our first adveture swimming. I though he would be entertained by the water but he soon found out that there are lots bags hanging out and that he could go from lounge chair to lounge chair and find something new to play with at each chair. Once again with myself and Cy tailing close behind. He certainly keeps us on our toes!!














Here he is with his white 'Hendricks' skin (or maybe that is the Ellis side that I thankfully didn't get). Thank goodness for spray on sun screen. Don't worry we were only outside for about 30 minutes and nobody burned!!















Walking in the water was a bit tricky. Also making sure he didn't fall over and suburge his little ears that have tubes in them was fun to!!
















Ok had to take this pictue. We just had come home from the barn and he was soaking wet so I pulled his shirt off and he went running for dads tools. Gotta be a boy with tools!!















This is the catch me if you can look. We went to the horse parade and all he wanted to do was run up and down the side walk. He stopped long enough for me to snap the picture, again all wet



This little video clip was taken yesterday. We took the tram up to the top of snowbird to get some pictures of Ayden with all the wildflowers. We figured he needed his 15 month pictures and we thought we would put Cy's nice camera to work. Those pictures turned out real nice but they are all on the other camera so I will post them soon.

We rode the mountain on the tram to 11000 feet and then hiked down about 1200 feet to the flowers, walked though a new tunnel that goes though the mountain and ended up by the ski lift that was running to take us down the rest of the way. So Ayden got to go on his first ski lift ride. It was fun. He loved it. It was about 3/4 the lengh of the tram ride and was about a 12 minute ride down the mountain. He stayed strapped in his back pack was actually content the whole ride down. He started waving at people going up and it was really cute. Enjoy this one!!















Ok and lastly here is a picture of the trail ride that I got to go on last night because Cy was so nice and told me to go do something for myself. Jake my horse was good and Sharee who is in the picture with me, and her horse Missy it was there first time out ont the trail together and they did great. Darcey took the picture-she was with us to0!!. She tried to get a picture of Jake looking over but he didn't want to corporate so we got the side view. It was a fun quick ride!!

Looks like you have been having fun. I wish I got to trail ride as often as you do. Ayden looks so cute playing in the water! That kid is looking more like his dad!

Love the picture of the shirt off playing with tools. You've got a true man there don't you. I can't believe how fast he's growing up. He needs a little sister now. Get with it! ;0)

Have to laugh hysterically-- I almost picked the exact same background. Thanks for letting me ride today! I know I don't really know what happened to me, but thankfully I got over the "never wanting kids thing". As far as the blog- we can send your password to the Europe friends too! JK yours always looks great. Definitely agree it is nice to see you away from work. We really need to do it more often, maybe if you are "off" Friday we can have a casual playdate ;op

In Response Kris, we both know I could also clean my house, do laundry, actually get ready for the day, pay attention to my son or come hang out (When you aren't at work!) but it is more fun to just post nonsense posts on my blog so people comment and make me feel important! ;op (Just kidding I swear)
