"I Hunt For Hugs"

We went for a family hike yesterday at Raccoon. I think Jason is secretly trying to get himself in shape for Elk hunting by toting Easton up and down hills on his back. In any event, we hiked at least 4 miles yesterday. About 3 in the woods and 2 on the road. It was a very good work-out and great quality family time. Easton wasn't quite as excited to be riding in the backpack as he was last year, but he did well. I think he's going to be a mountain man, just like his Daddy.


Check out Easton's hat. It says "I Hunt For Hugs." Easton loves to wear his hats and we never have to fight him to put or keep them on. He looks like such a little boy in his hat!

Say Cheese!

The other day I was giving Easton cheese for lunch and he kept putting his hands up to his cheeks every time I said cheese. This morning I said, "Say Cheese." He smiled, but is also attempting to grab his cheeks. How sweet!


I got this bathing suit for Easton and put it on him to make sure it fit. He looks like a little jet skier.

New Lens

I got a new wide-angle lens and decided to try it out on Easton. The lens will be good for shoots where objects aren't moving so fast (so please excuse the blurriness). And you will also have to excuse the snots. Easton and I are both getting over a cold. He is an excellent nose blower, but still leaves a little behind. I take what I can get!

Dad's Boots

The most adorable thing I have seen in a long time.


A video for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to note the intermittent whining. Whining has become a regular part of our life. I can't wait until Easton can talk instead of whine.
