Playing

We've been having less than perfect weather lately which has resulted in more time indoors.


But it hasn't bothered Blake too much because we still get to go outside...just not as long as usual.


So we get to read lots of books.

And play with fire trucks...every boys' dream.

Life is Rough

Blake loves playing with his little puppets. He had the cute idea of putting them all around him and making sure they had a blanket.

Rough day for this kid huh?

Seth's Birthday Party

Seth turned 6 years old, so he had a party at the park.


Blake got to hang out with his uncle Robert. He even said "Robert" very clearly. Of course he was just teasing Robert when he called his name.


Blake just loves Sarah (Rob's girlfriend).

What a surprise that Blake was climbing. He climbs everything and he runs everywhere--he almost never walks.

23 Months

Does he have a personality? What a character!

Blake is playing more on his own with his toys, but he really loves to put together puzzles and is actually pretty good at them. He still loves to read and has memorized a lot of his books so he will "read" along with me. His favorite number is 2 (right now) and everything is now the color black.

Blake Loves Grandpa

These are all pictures that Grandma took, but I couldn't pass up the cuteness.

Home Depot

Grandma and Grandpa took the grandkids to Home Depot to build a race car. You wouldn't guess it from Blake's face, but he loves hammers, screwdrivers, etc.


As much as he loves hammers, he doesn't have great aim, so Grandpa had to help.

After they finished building the cars, they got to race them.


Here is Blake's car...or should we say the car Grandpa made and Blake "helped" make. Thanks Grandpa!

Discovery Science Center

Since the cousins didn't have school today, we went with them and Grandma and Grandpa to the Discovery Science Center.

A trip to a museum wouldn't be complete without "driving" something. Blake and Kaleb got to drive the Zamboni.

Seth did a pretty good job as the goalie.

Here are the buddies posing for a picture.

Grandpa was a great cashier.

22 Months

Blake is now 22 months and happy to be back home. We all had a fun time in CO, but really do like this CA weather.


Our last day in CO.

Cousins

Blake had lots of fun hanging out with his cousins. We celebrated Avry's birthday and Lexi's birthday.


Here is part of the gang waiting their turn to hit the pinata.

Blake and Mia were so funny together. While in the car, the two of them were in the back seat singing and laughing.

Lexi and Morgan loved Blake and did some gymnastics for us. Blake had to try and get in on the action and attempted a summer salt.

Natural Science Museum

While in Denver, we took our little monkey to the Natural Science Museum.

We met up with Meesa, Avry, and Keely.

Blake liked seeing all the exhibits.

Especially the birds.
