Catch up

Remember when i said i was going to post about my trips? Well i meant to, i just never found the time. This summer has been crazy busy.Tavan was involved in wee-ball (tee-ball for 2 years old)as well as swim lessons which kept us pretty busy for a month or so. Ricky also played Softball and we enjoyed going and watching him play every week.Im so glad that we were involved in a lot of things this summer. In July we took a trip to Yellowstone. Our trip was so much fun. I surprised Rick when he got home from work and told him i had the weekend planned. After we played in Yellowstone we decided we wanted to spend some time with my grandparents in Twin. Ricky hadn't seen them in awhile and wanted to visit. The boys did awesome the whole trip. I love my little travelers so much. In August we took a trip back to Oregon. Ricky had to work so I loaded up the boys and away we went. My mom and I traveled down together so i was not by myself but not having Ricky with me on such a long trip was hard! We went to my grandmas house to do some yard work and then spend a few days on the Oregon coast. I love it there so much and miss it a little more everyday. We got to take a Jet boat ride up one of the rivers and Tavan loved it. I got pretty beat up on it but it was still fun. By the time we got home the boys, mainly Dimitri, were done in the car. A 16 1/2 hour drive is LONG! Ricky was so happy to have us home and hear Tavan tell him all about it.

The next weekend we decided to go camping. We both love going camping and hadn't had the opportunity to go. We packed up for our trip and headed to the Grand Mesa. I really like it up there and think that it is as close to Oregon as i'm going to get here in Colorado.We planned on doing some hiking up there and found the "Lost Lake" trail online that sounded like we could do it with the Kiddos. Tavan did amazing on the hike. He walked almost all of it but the last little bit. After our hike we had lunch and played at the trail head. My hiking companions

Dimitri Enjoying his Lunch!

after the weekend adventure we took Dimitri to his 4 month checkup. Dr. Kwak is impressed with him. He weighs 14 1/2 lbs which puts him in the 30th percentile for weight and his head was in the 98th percentile with his height in the 67%. Overall...he is awesome and i think we are going to keep him =) Tavan adores his little brother so much. Im so excited to watch these two grow together.
