I'm in love.
I was up last night thinking about how I wished that I was better at blogging- you know, like the good old days! Anyway, I will try! And we shall see how we go :)
This past week, Dan's sister and her family stayed with us for a night. The nice thing about where we live, is enjoying the benefits of neighboring communities! We had a lot of fun, Thanks Chanda!
Easton's favorite part was getting dirty! We had to ditch the shorts before getting back into the car. :)
:summa: lovin'
We are loving the warm weather! Wish I could say that we have been here every week so far- so not the case, but we did manage to sneak away from responsibility a few times to party at the pool!
Easton is my cautious boy, and he is always telling us that he needs to stay "on the steps" of the pool, and never thinks of straying from there, and hates it if Dan or I hold him and take him to any deeper areas. I have a feeling that Nixon will be the brave one in the fam, and I am so nervous for that day to come! He was already trying to dive into the water while sitting in his little float... yikes!
Easton sure has a blast in the parts where he feels comfortable!
Lunch [time]
This is about all Nixon does when it is time to eat solid foods... he just smiles. We have been working on solid foods for 2 months now, and he is barely accepting to rice cereal, if it's at the perfect warmed up temperature, let alone anything else! Can I say picky?? So NOT what I was used to with Easton. I should have seen it coming though, he is the opposite of Easton when it comes to nursing, too. Nixon will only nurse when HE decides he is hungry (no planning ahead for me!) and when the milk is gone, he is out of there! :) Easton would have nursed ALL DAY LONG, regardless if there was any milk or not.
I believe he is growing and developing just fine, and I shouldn't worry that he isn't getting enough solids. And while he doesn't have that chubby look that Easton had mastered, he is actually bigger overall than Easton was...
Don't let this picture fool you, he is just chewing on the end of the cup... no drinking yummy juice for him.
moab 2010
With Dan's job right now, it's next to impossible to try to even think of planning any type of vacation this summer. So, instead of being bummed out, we made a spontaneous, and short trip to moab to go camping and hiking! We left Thursday after Dan got home from work, arrived just in time to set up camp and roast marshmallows. Which is weird when it's 90 degrees outside. We woke up Friday morning (after a very LONG night) and went hiking all day, got back to our campground to find that our tent had blown over, so we made our tin foil dinners (which, after a day of granola bars was very TASTY!) packed up camp and drove home!
Yes... we were brave for taking the kids. :)
And yes... this is me actually blogging! :)
We had only enough time (and energy) to do one hike, and we decided to go for the famous Delicate Arch hike. Easton was a real trooper, and hiked MOST of the way himself!
These two were our campgroup mascots! I swear they were waiting for us to feed them...
This is a goofy picture of me, but it shows how "done" Nixon was with the whole hiking/camping thing by the end of our day.
