"Let's start the day off with some "bucking bronco"!! Ready mom? Can you stay on all day?"
Rummaging around in shipping boxes...
What fun throwing everything out!
Don't you just want these socks on your head, daddy?
I don't like that, mom, could you please change your mind?
Swimming shorts on the head--that's a good way to go for a dip!
How did you get there? Sitting in the drawer? Oh well, that's just about 1% of all the places Jayden climbs and all the things he messes up every day.
Reworking the couches....He also likes to push all the separate couch pieces around the living room, and re-arrange all the furniture.
And likes to wear "big people's" shoes!
Getting in the car to play with all the buttons and switches is a favorite past-time--to the point of obsession!
Here we go!.....
Story-time with Daddy....
Birthday party #2!!
"Wow, this takes a lot of coordination to show "2" with your fingers!"
And riding the carousel at the zoo on his birthday.
Daddy's tools--they are the best!
"Oooh, yuck! Dirty, mama"
Jayden is a great assistant. He loves to "help" unload the dishwasher, do the laundry, carry trash to the garbage can, etc.
And he loves to climb around on the rocks and steep hillside. I'm just holding my breath, hoping he won't kill himself before he's 5!
Whatever he does, he does it with all his heart. He loves life, he loves to tease, to pest, to help, to laugh, to play hard, and to be difficult too! What a kid! We got 2 or 3 kids for the price of 1, yippee!!!!
At the top: WOWWWWW!! That's a long ways down!
More hiking....
With Emmanuel's parents
Wading in a mountain lake (snow melt water)--Burrrrrrrr!!!
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....
