Simon has a fun room and he likes to hang out in it during the day. I often find him looking through his wardrobe. Today he squeezed into a small space between his dresser and rocking chair where he saw a book (one of his favorite things lately). The other day Shane found him in there with his blanket and pacifier laying on the floor (it was almost naptime) guess he was ready!
Our friends Julie and Luke brought thier boys Nash and Reece over to the house the other day so that the boys could play and the adults could enjoy the summer afternoon. Reece is about 2 months older than Simon, and it is always fun to watch him interact with other babies his age.
We recently finished a project behind our house, installing concrete patio pavers. Simon thought the level was pretty cool.
We got a special treat last week. For my dad's (pop pop) 60th birthday my entire family drove out to Colorado to visit us. It is getting more and more difficult to get a photo w/ all the cousins looking at the camera.
There was a lot of fun time in the mornings as the kids hung out and played in their PJ's. Emerald and Calvin are such good cousins and siblings. They were always looking for ways to entertain the babies.
Simon and Josiah were fun to watch as they are the closest in age and are beginning to interact with each other. By interact I mean Simon takes a toy or Pacifier away from Josiah and then Josiah takes it back.
On Wednesday we all headed to the Mountain Village where Nana and Pop Pop were staying to watch a concert in the town plaza. Fortunately the hotel room overlooked the plaza so we never even had to leave the room.
Simon thought he might get to go swimming w/ the big kids...too bad he missed his nap and needed to catch one while they swam.
I asked Emerald to go over by the flowers so I could take her picture. 5 seconds later this was the pose I got.
We had a lot of fun with all of them and can't wait to see them all again.
It finally feels like summer here in Telluride... finally! We have had a fun and busy summer so far. Recently we traveled to Kansas for Father's Day and Simon's Christening. This weekend we enjoyed a fabulous 4rth of July. Daddy is finished with his licensing exams and now can join Simon and Mommy in his free time. We spent some time in the yard last week, and set up a swimming pool for Simon which he got to enjoy in the 80 degree weather on the 4rth.
On Saturday we put on the Carharts and went to town to visit one of Daddy's jobsites. Here's Mommy and Si standing by the Living Room fireplace and Daddy and Si on the Main Deck.
Daddy showing Si how to use the hammer rattle on the column bases at the main deck.
Simon after a bath. You can see his 2 teeth.
Sporting his Bob Marley onsie.
We had a few trees that died this year so on a rainy Memorial Monday Shane and the two neighbors, MD and Cheddar, took them down.
It has been pretty warm here lately. It is starting to feel like summer.
