Yesterday Tracy and I got up early and braved the crowds up
Milcreek Canyon. We took the dogs and hiked up to dog lake. It was
Aydens first time in the baby back back and he wasn't to thrilled about getting strapped into another seat but about 10 feet up the trail he went quiet and didn't make a peep the for the entire 4 hour journey. He loved it. As you can see this is us on the way up the trail and he is wide eyed and
bushie tailed.
He we are up
the trail about a mile and well as you can see hiking is hard work!
He we are at the lake, there were so many dogs and Tracy's dogs Dakota and Leo love to swim so
Ayden had tons of fun watching them.
Joylin one of the riders at the barn is a trail runner and she was up there to. Her dog Brooklyn tail lashed us in the face with a wet tail and
Ayden just smiled. He is a pretty easy going baby.
Here is
Ayden getting ready to have his diaper changed on the grass, it was pretty rocky underneath him but he didn't even care.
Ok and here is Tracy after about an hour of throwing the stick for her wet dogs. Lets just say her getting wet was not her option. Oh did I mention
Dehle came to, she was very excited for about the first 3/4 of the hike and then just settled into the back of the line,
plodding up the hill. She will get her feet wet but is not a
swimmer. She enjoyed rolling around in the grass more.
The leaves were such a great color, I had to throw one
scenic picture in :)
Here he doing one of his little baby push ups, its hard to capture on camera.. its a little blurry because I had to snap fast, but it is so cute. he actually gets all the way up on his hands and toes.
Happy Halloween! Here is dad and baby. Baby is sporting his new trick or treat one-sie and some polar fleece pants. We have to stay in the Halloween spirit. We are looking forward to dressing him up next Friday for Halloween day!
Ok so I think these jammies are the best... they are so cute. To bad he is growing like a weed and only wore them for 2 weeks :(
Ok so last Friday Ayden took his first official ride around the equestrian park. I put him in his baby carrier and we took Sonny and went for a ride. He had a grand time. He kept trying to stand up on the saddle at first because he loves to stand, but after about 5 minutes he just started to sit and enjoy the motion. It was lots of fun!

Now here is a funny story.... We have a gerbil that Cy bought as hawk bait when he was trying to catch Twetie, his red tail hawk. Anyways Jess and I did not want Gerbie to become lunch for Twetie (even though the rat that was bought did become lunch) so we kept him in the fish tank that Caroline gave us. He has lived there for 2 years pretty happily until the other night. I heard a small amount of noise through the baby monitor but did not think much of it until the morning when Gerbie was gone. I thought for sure the cat got him, as you can see here Coon does like to go 'fishing' but he was not dead anywhere and that is Coons favorite thing to do is put his trophies in the middle of the floor. So after a little thinking we deducted that his sawdust pile had gotten pretty big and he probably jumped out (he has been working on this trick for awhile). Anyways this morning Abby, Jess's sister was staying over and ran upstairs and asked Jess if Gerbie was white with red eyes, and of course he is.... so after about a half hour chase they caught him put him back in his fish tank... The end! (I hope).
Ok so we went down to Pagosa springs for the Parelli savvy conference a few weekends ago. It was me Lis, Jess, Shay and Tracy. It was a heck of a lot of fun we spent three days there learning lots of neat ideas and having fun together. I even got a break from baby which was nice but I missed the little guy. Although sleeping was a lot nicer :) I wish I could go down and live there, that would be great but we all had to come back to reality land. Bummer!
