Pool Party

Of course the only times it hits above 90 is when we are up camping and nowhere near the AC. Go figure. Good thing for the kiddie pool! Me and Adam took turns with Gunnar. The water was ice cold so it took a second for him to get into it...but he sure loved splashing around:) It helped that all his cousins were there to keep him happy!

Hide and Seek

This was hilarious. He pulled down Aunt Christi's quilt and was hiding from me! If it weren't for the heavy breathing I may have never known he was still in his crib! He just cracked himself up when he found out I could see him from the other side.

Movin' and Shakin'

He's trying real hard to actually move forward, although most of the time it's anything (and everything!) but. He's built up calluses on his toes from getting around that way. And he really does crawl...backwards:)

Student Driver!

Oh, does Gunnar just loooooooove dadda's truck! He falls asleep in about 0.2 seconds. It's awesome:)

Our 9-day-Multiple-location Camping Trip!

This camping trip was so awesome! Our first time "roughing it" with the camper. Adam took us out to the South Fork of the Snake River. And now the series of unfortunate events...we arrived just in time for mosquito infestation. It was awful! I literally had fifty bites in the first few minutes.

Needless to say we packed up just as soon as we got unhitched and leveled out. Poor Adam had his work cut out for him! We went up the road to our usual camp spot with hook-ups, got unloaded and finally had some hot dogs (our first meal of the day) around 10pm. Then woke up to find out they were paving and we would have to move! So, we decided to go back to see about the infestation. We ended up finding the most beautiful spot right on the river. It was wonderful. We spent four nights there before heading back to the hook-ups and meet up with our family for their reunion.

Never a dull moment in the wilderness though, I must say. We ended up finding a dog and after careful consideration and moving him with us to Juniper (hook-ups) he ended up jumping out of the damn truck. What a headache he was. Adam fittingly named him Hobo:) I guess he's better off wherever he ended up than where he would have ended up...the pound!

Hannibal hated Hobo. Really hated him. So much so, in fact, that he ran away the night before we left for Juniper. We were really sad. Adam wanted to say a little prayer and I refused stating that he was already dead. (Adam wanted to be sure I put that part in here.) We hung out all morning waiting for him to come back, and eventually heard him yelping. Adam went off to look for him and we soon followed. I just happened to look up and see his little ears. Yay! He was alive! Oh, and when I say up, I mean about 200 feet up stuck on a cliff. I have no clue how he got up there and apparently neither did he since he couldn't find a way back down! Adam had to climb the cliff in his flip flops to save the dog. My hero! I suppose the prayer helped:) Thanks, Adam. Hannibal was covered in cactus but after a few days of rest he is just fine:)

Oh, and lots of wildlife. More than I've ever seen! A ton of moose and a few baby deer and even a mama turkey with her babies. Very cool to see so close up. Adam screamed for me to come outside one night...a moose was floating down the river! A very funny sight!

The Great Escape

Yeah, he can pull himself up now. Down goes the crib mattress and up goes the rails! He sure is proud of himself though:)

Biker Babes

Our first family bike ride! Which was MY first bike ride in about 10 years:) It was a blast. Adam installed a kiddie seat for Gunnar to ride with me and he LOVED it! So much that he was zonked in about 2 minutes! Such a sweet boy:) Needless to say we are taking a bike riding break right now because we are sore and wore out!
