A boy and his blanket

I didn't realize how attached Jayce is to his blanket until I tried to wash it today.  I put it in the laundry basket and he went in to our room and took it out.  Then I tried to take it from him and put in the washing machine... Tears, oh the tears!  Gave it back... Happy Baby!

Here is a video of the playing that happened then.

A glance at July 2010

 Chris had most of July off, so we were able to have some little adventures.  

Shaden loves to sit at Chris's desk and use his headset.

Shaden comes into our bathroom and "shaves" just like Daddy.  (Yes that is Chris's shampoo bottle.)

Jayce loved playing in the little pool at my mom's house on Shaden's birthday.

Shaden's birthday was Handy Manny themed.  

He loves the tools and fixes everything.  

The he says "Perfect!" when he's done.

Jayce when he is frustrated.

We took the boys to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver.

We have a picture of Chris standing under this same sign.

Like father like son.

Zoo passes ROCK!  We went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo again.  

This time with my mom.

Shaden LOVES feeding the giraffes crackers.

We've been going to the swimming pool a bunch.  

Shaden makes me a little nervous when walking around the pool, so it was time we got him a life jacket.

Doesn't he look cute?

Jayce has two top teeth and two bottom teeth now.  

He gets little bits of everything we eat.

We had a goal of emptying our paid storage unit by August 1st 

and part of that was shedding some old papers.

The boys had a ton of fun playing in the sheds.

My sister came down and we took her to Seven Falls.

224 Steps Up and 224 Steps Down.

Shaden playing in the teepee at the bottom. 

He climbed up all the way!

All my boys at the top.

My sister, the soon to be World Traveler.  

She is going on a Semester at Sea Cruise starting in August.

I want to thank Jonathan, Chris's brother, for these pictures.  We had to do some serious shopping and we were lucky enough to have Jonathan and Kate along with us.
