Fish On!

Daddy took me on another fishing trip this fall.  I sat in the backpack and squealed with delight every time daddy hooked a fish.  Thankfully that fly whizzing by my head never caught me.  I heard daddy remark something like "The angling fever is a very real disease and can only be cured by the application of cold water and fresh, untainted air."  Every time I see a fish I shout trout and daddy smiles and laughs.  Am I coming down with something?

Our Annual FFFF (Family Fall Foliage Float)!

Although we didn't make it out to Ruby Horsethief this year, we made sure to get our FFFF in this year.  The colors were beautiful on the Upper Colorado and the weather was beautiful.  We went with Tracy, Kevin, and Drew - another fun river family!  


Here we are - our river family!!!


Mama let me row a lot on this trip.  Fun!


Here are our buddies, happy to be on the water!


Drew can sleep ANYWHERE!  He loved his naps floating down the river. 

Cute Pics from the Summer!

Just some cute pictures from the summer!


I am getting really good at using these curlers!



I am happiest in the mornings!

No one told me I wasn't supposed to look UNDER the doors!


I'm really into these sunglasses, sometimes I wear them straight through dinner!


My baby and I are really close.  I like to hold her tight when I sleep.  We snuggle!


I LOVE hats and this is my latest!


Mommy and I get ready together in the mornings.  I'm teaching her how to curl her hair and brush her teeth at the same time!


Sometimes I sleep but baby doesn't.  We trying to get on the same schedule.


Really, all you need is shoes and a diaper...the rest just falls into place.

 This shot is a bit older, but one of my  favorites, so I'm putting it in again!

Spending Time With Friends

Here's me and Drew, hanging out while we wait for our parents to get the rafts ready for a float.  We like hanging out together.  I learn a lot from him!



This is me and Sam. We take music class together and always have time to hang out after class while our mommies chit chat at the coffee shop.  Hey - we get lots of snacks out of it!


Ezrah and I went on a trip with Mommy to Downtown Denver.  A huge place, but we had no problem fitting right in!


These are my yoga baby pals.  Our moms all did yoga together when we were growing in their bellies and now we celebrate all the holidays together.  Can you believe we all fit on the couch!


I love summer baseball games!  Friends, hotgogs, and big CHEERS!

 Debora might be the best friend I've ever had.  She takes care of me almost every day and plays lots of games with me.  I heart her!

Summer in El Paso

When I was in El Paso this summer, I got to do a lot of relaxing.  Here I am with my second Cousing, Patrick.  He was super sweet!



I made sure to stop and smell the roses everyday, to remind me of the good things nature provides for me!


When I was bored, I  would adorn my toes with jewels!


Mommy took me down the BIG slides.


And I spent plenty of time soaking in the backyard pool.  Pretty fun times!

A Sad Time for Our Family

Sadly, in August, we lost mommy's stepmother, Bonnie, to cancer.  We all loved her very much and were not prepared for her to go.  We all miss her, a lot.

Here we are at a dinner the neighbors hosted for us while we were all in El Paso.



We were sad at the cemetary, but glad that most of us could be together to say goodbye.



2nd Annual Mountain Midwifery Mamas Tie Dye Party

We hosted the 2nd Annual MMM Tie Dye party at our house again.  It was loads of un and I got all sorts of new tie dye outfits out of it.  It's fun having all of our friends over and getting make art together!


This is my, Lyric, and Ezrah sitting on the swing.  Wish we knew how to make it go!


 We got some of the mama's all together for a picture (and Papa Tu!).  Such a fun day!
