Happy Campers!

This weekend we decided to go camping at a local campground.  Jeff was so proud of himself that he didn't spring it on me by telling me a whole day before we were going to leave.  When we did get going the trip up to the campsite was the curviest road I have ever been on.  We got going a little later than we wanted to so we had to hussle to set up the tent before it got dark.  Although Jason stayed up about an hour past his bedtime he did wonderful!  He really enjoyed exploring the campsite.

The next morning we went on a hike up to the Gila Cliff Dwellings.  It was neat to see the caves that were used as dwellings a long time ago.  Jason really loved being in the backpack and it was nice to be outside.  After we were done there we had lunch and went on a bit of a longer hike.  We were shocked when we crossed the same stream 22 times each way!  To say the least our boots were very wet!  Jason had a few spills, but no major injuries and we all made it home in one piece on Sunday.

Hello my old friend

Jason hasn't seen the bear since he was about a month old.  We started to do growth photos and use the bear as a comparison, but we decided to leave it behind when we moved to Canada and just recently got it out of storage.

He loved the bear!  Cuddled him and loved on him all evening!

Gravity: public enemy number one!

Sorry for the blogging hiatus.  While we moved into our new house we didn't have internet service.  That is probably a good thing because I doubt I would have done as much work if I had been able to find anything else to do!  Unpacking was much more challenging with a little someone hanging around and begging to be entertained.

Jason is running and climbing everywhere!  He is more of a little boy than a baby at 18 months old!  He loves the house that Dad made for him out of a box.

"Momma, leave me alone"

He plays outside in the water almost every afternoon!

We are constantly watching him climb to dangerous hights!

almost there!

ok mom now you can get me down.

What a crazy boy!  He certainly has been keeping us on our toes lately.  The plans for this weekend are to set up his big boy bed and go shopping for a big boy carseat!  Who told Jason he was allowed to grow up?
