Why I love Colorado



Incredible wildlife....




Awesome scenery....






And the best of all is Thanksgiving with family!

Snapshots: months 8 & 9

"I can get anywhere nowadays!...Even under chairs."
Riding on Daddy's shoulders is a blast! My first kiss!
Playing hats....
"I've got this crawling business under my belt now!"
"Making a grand mess of everything. I'm good at that. Mommy spends a lot of her day just trying to keep up with me."

"I'm scared I'll fall off this thing!"
Bundled up to go out in the snow!
Reading with Mommy.

"And exploring the bathroom--what great fun! Especially when Mommy forgets to shut the door and I can go in and play fishing in the toilet bowl!"

Snapshots: month 7

Kissing goodbye at the airport in Belgium to move to America. It was certainly not easy on the grandparents left behind, though they tried very hard to be brave and cheerful.Giving a last affectionate nose pull....

Playing on the airport floor--definitely not the cleanest place on earth, but hey, when you have 24 hours of wake time ahead of you, anything will do for amusement!
"Hi Mom!"

First Sabbath after arriving, ready to go to church.

Playing with Grandma Scarbrough.

Riding in the mountains, such fun!

Playing in our new apartment.

Taking one last hike in the cold, wind-swept Rocky mountains in October.
A sleepy morning....
Waking up finally!
And crawling away all too fast!

"Learning to pull up into a standing position is just a blast, wow, look at me!"
But hey, those baggy pants look too much like a teenager already!

"Getting ready to go with Mommy. I love going!! Going to Walmart, going to Target, the grocery store, anywhere I can ride in a cart!"

WARNING! You need to start at the bottom of the post to follow the correct order of events. Sorry about the confusion, but I can't change it afterwards without uploading all the pictures again.


"Back at home, in my park! Wow, that was a long way around the world and I'm glad to be back home!"

"Learning to eat rice cereal. Yummmmmm!"

GETTING ROYAL TREATMENT!! ... (sorry to everybody else: I couldn't show pictures of everybody because I don't have time--hope nobody feels left out).


Then with my parents. All the aunts and uncles (+1 cousin and his son) came to visit for 3 days. We had a blast! And Jayden got pretty spoiled from all that attention!

My precious neices!


We had a wonderful vacation with family this year. First to Alaska, with my brother and family...


"Riding on the airplane and playing with daddy. My first trip by plane, and it was really exciting!"
