Camping in August

As I was looking at photos tonight, I saw a bunch from a night of camping with friends here in Crested Butte. I couldn't resist posting them, although they are 4 months old now. The overnight was 20 degrees and we woke up covered in frost and it was freezing!!!

Lochlan Snowboarding

He's already better at snowboarding than at skiing! HA!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Josiah's Dream Team

I know I haven't posted on here in awhile, but wanted to put up a video of my nephew, Josiah, from his Celebrate the Beat dance performance last night at the Crested Butte Community School. He's the cute boy in the red t-shirt gettin' down and I'm so proud of him.

Lochlan cruising in the Mt. CB pump track

Lochlan asked me to "take photos" of him while riding his bike in the pump track on Saturday, so I took a video as well. He didn't realize I was recording him, so you can hear him hootin' & hollerin' in the video. If he knew I was recording him, he would shy away from this behavior. ;)

Tres!

We celebrated Lochlan's 3rd birthday on Sunday with bike mania at the pump tracks, then relocated to Rainbow Park for playing on the playground and cake. A good portion of Lochlan's classmates came, along with a couple of his buddies from Colorado Springs. One of Lochlan's classmates moms' makes awesome cakes, so she made a yellow train cake that he kept asking for. All of the kids were really taken with it and with very minimal effort, we got them all to sit at the picnic table at the same time and sing the "Happy Birthday" song to him. It was pretty easy, considering none of them couldn't take their eyes off the cake. Lochlan ended up opening his birthday gifts at home later, with his best buddy Ryder's supervision. It was such a great day and Lochlan is pretty lucky to have so many great kids to call his friends. The photos below are of Lochlan and his friends, so not all of the kids in them are him. :) He is the one in the plaid shirt and khaki pants with the blue helmet.
