Whew! I've had a ton of computer issues including Johnny the Destroyer dumping a glass of water on my macbook (don't worry, it survived). I think I finally have everything figured out & a dry, functioning macbook to update you guys!
We have had a BUSY summer!! So busy that it will take a few posts to get you caught up. :) Johnny is continuing to grow like a weed... I pulled 18 mo clothes out of the attic yesterday. All of his 12 mo stuff is too short!! He also got both of his front two teeth (on the same day) last week. That brings the total up to 4 now. His smiles are ridiculously cute. =) He also sits up & crawls & thinks anything Doug does is hilarious.
Case in point:
He has grown up so fast, I'm left wondering where all the time went? He is almost 8 months old!! We have had such a fun summer... Days filled with play dates to the park, the zoo, hanging out with cousins & hiking. So without further ado, here are some pictures from this summer! (All the ones from hiking & Tdad are on Doug's computer, so I'll do a part 2 with those... So don't feel left out Mojicas!)
Who needs weights when you have a chubby baby around?? Overhead Tricep Press approximately 20ish lbs:
Johnny hasn't been real fond of baby food... Seems to be a texture thing. But here he is before one of our many attempts wearing a "Somebody from Shelby, NC Loves Me" t-shirt (I think Aunt Debbie bought this for Fish):
Getting our craft on:
We had a trip planned to the zoo for Kristin's bday. Turns out her kids were sick, but we decided to go anyway (I had been promising Storrie all summer!) with Rachel & Ruby. We had such a good time!
All I could think of when I saw this snake was in Harry Potter where the glass disappears... totally freaked me out:
Running through the sprinklers: Petting a skunk (with no stinky pouch thing): Ruby petting a baby albino wallaby:
Eating shaved ice: Such a pretty girl!:
Riding the carousel:
This was Ruby's first time riding by herself! What a big girl!
Ok, so now skip forward a month or so. :) We went to Cripple Creek to ride the train for Fisher's bday (Day 4 of Fisherpalooza, which I'm sure Kristin will tell you all about that). The train goes from Cripple Creek to a ghost town called Anaconda (4 miles from Victor). There are old mines that line the route... Most of the mines produced $3+ million worth of gold before being completely tapped (what the heck do you call a mine where nothing of value is left??).
Snuggling up tight... It was cold!
Part of Anaconda. Do you see that truck up on top of the ridge in the middle of the pic? Trucks were driving along the very top of that ridge to & from that active mine on the top left.
Miss Pipey for the 2 seconds she wasn't rolling around on the floor of the train: The birthday boy & Kristin (with James acting very age appropriate): Echo Canyon: Trying for a family shot...
And that's it for now!! I'll go back & post the July pics that are on Doug's computer.
