Camping Tastes Good!



Last weekend we took Cooper on his first camping trip. Much like the beach, he was dirty within seconds. There is a certain theme to the pictures you'll see...eating. Eating rocks, eating sticks, eating plants, eating the camping chair. The only thing we didn't take pictures of was Cooper actually eating food.

It was a quick one night trip to get Cooper accustomed to camping and to get us out of the heat. We had a great time. We saw actual stars, amazing I know. After living in Las Vegas for a few years, one can forget that the sky actually fills up with them at night; all we get to see are the lights on the strip!

On Saturday morning, we went up to the top of the mountain and took a quick hike. Charlie went with us and let us know when he was done by lying down in the middle of the trail and giving us the evil eye. We had a great time and are very excited for Cooper's next camping trip!

Cooper's First Ride



While I was pregnant with Cooper, Ryan got me a sweet ride so we could take Marly out at night for exercise. Most nights we would go out bike riding with Marly for a few miles and get her good and exhausted. Shortly after receiving my shiny new bike, the baby doctor told me I shouldn't be riding bicycles anymore... for fear of losing my balance and falling three feet overboard. I'm not still upset about it or anything.

After Cooper was born, I was excited because now we could go on bike rides with him! I'm pretty sure when we were kids, Moms and Dads just put us right up on the handlebars and we had to hold on. But nowadays, that's looked down upon, so we waited until we had a proper seat and helmet for Cooper. For his birthday, Nonna and Papa and Auntie and Uncs gave him this awesome helmet! It's adjustable so he will be able to wear it more than once before his huge head grows out of it. Tonight was THE night! It has been too hot all summer to go out but Ryan got the bikes out today and got them ready.

We tried to put the helmet on Cooper before we put him in his seat, but he was not happy with that option. Once we got him settled and the helmet in place, we took off! He smiled and laughed for most of the trip!

Labor Day on the Beach



Oh joy! Our friends Blake and Charity let us come visit this weekend for a quick trip to the beach! They were having a heat wave as well, but it was only in the upper 80's. The good news is that the water was the PERFECT temperature so we were able to swim and dive in the waves and have an all around great time!

Cooper loved being on the sand, this is what he looked like about three seconds into our day. This time we got to go to the Stone Brewery for dinner which was pretty nice. Cooper was in rare form so I spent most of my time letting him walk barefoot all over the place. I'm sure some of the looks I got were due to mothers wondering where his shoes were. To be totally honest, we only have one pair that actually fits, it's a flip flop type shoe and he has trouble walking in them so I just leave him barefoot most of the time. This wasn't a problem until this last weekend where he decided he was a marathon walker and that was all he wanted to do.

It was a great weekend with friends and so much fun at the beach!
