Jayden's 4th birthday--wow!

Fun with friends, and a new bike!
Emma, one of Jayden's best friends.

Heidi, also one of Jayden's best friends.
At the zoo with Heidi and Grandma.


And a very worn out little boy. He's got a broken arm for his 4th birthday as well! That's his 3rd broken bone (2nd event) since he was born, and all before the age of 4!

Family highlights from the last year or so...

We've had so much fun! Lots of outdoor activities, hiking, camping, travel, fun...Unfortunately, I don't have time to capture all the events of the past couple of years, so here's just a sampling.




Jayden loves to "dress up" in some pretty fantastic outfits!

Summer activities...

Wading in a mountain lake (snow melt water)--Burrrrrrrr!!!

So much work: thank you again, Bertrand and Lucrese!


How true! Notice the saying on his shirt: I tried to be good, but I got bored". Sigh.....

Weekend trip to the Black Canyon area.... gorgeous rock formations and lake.
Overlooking death! Black Canyon of the Gunnison (more than 2x deeper than the Empire State building is tall)
Swimming in the river at the head of the canyon

Picnic fun....
