Just a preview of AJ's chompers!! He was out playing in the leaves at uncle Eric's house, he's great at the snap shots!! AJ is loving life in Spokane during fall. So many beautiful things to attempt to eat. So, I'm feeling a little nostalgic these days. I can't believe that in 2 weeks AJ will be celebrating his first birthday. It went by far too fast, and I am so greatful for the "village" of people that have helped me raise such a beautiful boy! I love you all!

He's been into SPEED crawling lately...the new Hollywood work-out craze. You should try it!

The best discovery EVER...ANOTHER red leaf!

Who pinched my baby boy???

We made it up to Greenbluff this last weekend. It was sunny and blue skies, BUT it was also frigidly windy. But it's all worth it for the hot cider and pumpkin donuts!! Here are a few pics from the day. I absolutely LOVE the fall!

" THIS is the pumpkin that I want"

Uncle Eric, AJ actually kept his hat on for 5 whole minutes!! Don't think that his halloween costume will include headwear this year!

Grandma and AJ trying to find the PERFECT pumpkin!

So....if any of you still check this blog, here a few updates of our crazy, fun summer. I haven't posted any pictures of our 2 weeks in Florida...but is that REALLY surprising. I'm lucky to be able to find a matching pair of socks anymore!! Hope everyone is well.

The top picture is one of my favorites! AJ took a bit to get used to the cold Twin Lakes water! Baths are ok...60 degree lake water, not so much!

We took the Gifford Ferry (didn't even know it existed until this summer) over to Inchelium to spend a long weekend at Twin Lakes (WA not ID).

Family hike to 7000 feet up at Rainier- July 2008. AJ worked HARD to weigh Adam down the entire trek! Those backpacks are frickin' sweet...a baby must-have!

Aunt Ingrid and auntie Meghan on our annual camping trip- JULY 2008 up at Rainier. AJ was a trooper. It was a bit frigid in the A.M. hours and at night, but we all cozied up!!

Who doesn't love a baby's butt??!!!

Aj's famous "O" face...he's quite animated these days!

Summer fun at Pioneer Days in Davenport, WA. If you've never been...mark your calendar for next year. Good ole Dino Rossi even made an appearance! Edna's has awesome burgers and shakes!
