More August Fun




Downtown Chairs

 So many things happened this month that I needed another post just to get them in (and I still don't have Duncan's 11 month photos in here yet).  That first picture is Jack, downtown, in a strange sort of spinning chair on the 16th St. Mall. It looked like fun but kind of freaked me out because it always seemed like he was about to topple out of it. The photo is from Logan's birthday, but the birthday boy got his own post!
Serious Spencer
 Spencer has such an easygoing sense of humor, and a quick smile. At the same time he can be the most serious of the boys! We also find it hilarious when he answers us "uh huh". I'm not sure what makes it so funny. Maybe we are all just exhauseted!

After Logan's birthday (well, actually for part of it) he wanted to go to Walsenburg to Papa and Nonie's house so we did. We got to visit with Aunt Nettie, Uncle Marty, and Brytyn. It was really fun. I didn't take too many photos, but I did snag a cute shot of Duncan standing up on one of the chairs.

What a Smirk
 The beginning of the school year means that Cub Scouts starts up in full force. Exciting news is that this year there is a program for  Kindergarten, so Logan gets to be part of the same Pack as his big brother.  Here we are at the first Pack meeting waiting for the doors of the school to be unlocked. They were so excited! Hawk Quest was there, but I haven't gotten a copy of the photo yet of the three of us with a bald eagle. I have to track down the guy who took the photo (my camera was, of course, acting up). They had a great time.

Lions and Wolves, oh my!
 August is the time for the annual Pack Family Camp-out. Jack, Logan and I went to Chatfield to camp with the rest of the Pack. There was a great picnic and the boys played and played with all the other scouts. It's nice seeing them make friends so easily with other nice boys of all ages.


Jack was in charge of setting up the beds

Having a snack under the shade of a pine tree
 We tried to stay overnight, but unfortunately Jack got a migraine and I decided to pack up quickly (with a headlamp, in the dark) at 11 pm to get them home (10 minutes away). But they enjoyed the camp fire and the skits and songs. Next time maybe we will be able to stay all night. The rest of the family was already home with fevers that night so it was just as well. No one did much of anything the next day!

I have a feeling more action may happen this month, but for sure stay tuned for September and someone's first birthday party!

Until next time...

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
