Camping

We had a family camping adventure this past weekend. The weather was perfect and we all had a wonderful time. It was Micah's first time and he did really well. Both the boys love being outside and love being boys.

Helping get the tent poles ready.

Playing in the dirt, throwing rocks and playing with sticks. This entertained them a long time and allowed us to get the tent set up.

Climbing trees!

Roasting marshmallows. Micah doesn't like them but he has to do everything we do and he had a blast roasting them.

Smores!!
Morning hiking adventure.

Two cute boys.

15 Months!

Micah went in this last week for his 15 month appointment. He did great with the two shots, only crying when he got them and stopping as soon as Mommy picked him up. We have a growing boy, he is 33 inches and weighs 26 lbs. 5 oz. What a joy he is to us!

Riverboat Days

We had a fun weekend at home...Riverboat Days!! Papa and Nana came for the weekend and we were able to get out, even though it was really HOT, and enjoy some of the weekend activities...

Getting ready for the fireworks to start.

Rochester

We enjoyed a long weekend at home in Rochester this past weekend. It was nice to have a mini vacation and enjoy time with Grandpa and Grandma. We had storms on Friday so weren't able to go out and do much but thankfully the sun was out on Saturday so we were able to go to the zoo and also enjoy Grandpa and Grandma's swimming pool.

The pool was a little overwhelming for Micah so he hung out with Grandma and just watched.

Just because

Here are just a few pictures from our week. Nothing too exciting going on but still moments to capture on camera. Enjoy!

The boys in their boats waiting for Daddy to give them a ride.

Micah is really into the climbing stage these days. He decided that getting into the wagon was a good idea and while at it why not read a book. He loves books!

Micah loves to play the piano and decided today it was necessary to have safety goggles on while doing it. I guess you can't be too safe!

Ethan's bike

Mommy found a bike at a garage sale this past weekend. It was a BIG hit with one little boy. He LOVES his new bike! He was more then willing to give his trike to Micah, good thing too because Micah was ready. Ethan wants to be out first thing in the morning and after nap riding it. We bought him a helmet and he is so careful to make sure he has it on when riding his bike. Just one more step of our little boy growing up! They do it all too fast.

Around and around he goes. He always says he is racing and he'd better hurry up before the others win.
What a smile!

Camping

Ethan and Daddy had a big boy camping trip this weekend. Micah and Mommy went and helped them set up camp and then headed home for the night. They built a fire, roasted hotdogs, made smores, watched a movie about birds and slept in a hot tent. It was a fun time!

Checking out the spillway at the dam.

Such a big helper!
