11 Months

  
 
Happy 11 months to this little peanut.
Showing off his new tricks - clapping and waving.  After hanging with his advanced cousin Ava this month we realized that we needed to spend a little more time teaching this guy some skills.  Luckily he has caught on quickly - poor 3rd child

Dirt Rider II

Not sure who is cooler, Alec for mountain biking 5 miles at 5 years old, or his Uncle Ross who bought him this awesome bike, taught him to use it, took him riding, and made this ridiculous video!!

Colorful Colorado

 
 
The boys and I got back this week from a whirlwind trip to Colorado.  We were there for 2 weeks and seemed to be completely busy and crazy the entire time.  We did so much stuff that I can't even begin to write about it, so I'll just give a picture overload that covers most of it.  We love CO and all our friends and family there and are so thankful for the great visit.
Hiking to Booth Falls in Vail - Alec made it the entire way.
 
 
 
Cousin craziness - we spent a long weekend up in Avon with these crazy kiddos
 
Ready for the gondola up to the top of Vail
 
 
 
Alec rock climbing at the top of the mountain - he loves this, so much so that we just booked his 6th birthday party at a climbing gym
 
 
 
Charlie riding Boss Hog
 
 
Slack Lining
 
Alec and I about to hit the new ropes course on top of Vail - easily the coolest thing I have ever done with him.  In spite of a very long wait and several very tired and cranky babies, the ropes course was AMAZING!  I was actually shaky b/c it was so high and crazy, which makes me even more impressed with Alec for completing the entire course. 
 
 
 
 
Annual trip to the CU bookstore
About to mountain bike with Uncle Ross - they went twice and had a blast.  I'm actually gonna do a whole separate post with pics of their crazy adventures
