Idaho in August

Where oh where has my summer gone? I can not believe that September is lurking just around the corner. I am in denial that our summer is winding down at a very rapid pace. We all have had a busy summer. It has been filled with school, work, running, hiking, swimming, baseball games, walks, trips to the park, and our favorite: family time. My sister Ann's daughter, Peyton was baptized so we were able to venture on up to Idaho and enjoy some quality family time. My parents and brother Jed and his family also went up. Little GB was in heaven. He had so much fun playing with all of his cousins. He usually just tagged along and tried to keep up. He especially enjoyed playing with his little cousin Coop. Coop was extremely patient in sharing his toys and trying to teach little GB to share. They both had a great time. They are going to be best buddies for sure! From sun up to sun down little GB was on the go. There was so much to experience. Whether it was jumping on the trampoline, riding Coop's scooter, taking trips to the park, playing wiffle ball, hanging out on the 4 wheeler, nap times and meal times were somewhat of a nuisance. This picture is one of little GB's favorite things of Coops:
It was such a great time had by all! We need to figure out a way to live closer to one another. Here are a few pics of our great weekend:

The Treadmill Incident

Okay, so I am not sure why I am blogging about this. Perhaps because I found it so hillarious that I feel the need to share my somewhat humiliating story. As I was running the other day on my treadmill I hopped off to go open the door to the upstairs for Little GB. I had not yet even gone a mile and he was already done of trying to entertain himself in a somewhat small space. So I decided to let him go upstairs and roam while I hurried to bust out 3 1/2 miles. So...after letting him upstairs I attempted to do my usual hop back on to the treadmill....This time I did not hop so well. I even have pictures to prove it. :) I hoping that one of my raspberry scrathes will live a battle wound. I always love a good scar. Pfeiffer and I laugh about it and wish we could have gotten it on camera. Dang it, at least I will be able to replay the incident in my mind.... Will I attempt another hop on hop off? You better believe it!

First Timers

Well, we have decided that it is time...time to start a family blog in hopes of keeping our loved ones near and far up to date on the happenings in our lives. (like adding a blog will help, but we'll give it a go.) Although we try (try being the operative word) and keep in touch with everyone, our lives are are really hectic and crazy right now. We have decided to go with nick names in hopes of keeping some sort of privacy from the crazy world. We'll see if you can figure them out. We have Pfeiffer, Tweela, and Little GB (or as Pfeiffer likes to refer to him as Colonel Mustard, Monkey Man, Turd Burglar.)

Pfeiffer is busy with his jet setting ways, home improvement projects, mastering sprinkling systems, fatherhood and conquering new peaks every weekend. The mountains have become his second home this summer. I don't mind, he comes back a very happy camper and I can see the happiness and excitment conquering new peaks brings him. REI has become his favorite spot, I think he will soon be on a first name basis with the employees there. :)

Tweela is juggling the joys of motherhood, the angst of being a college student, and working part time. Even though my life is very busy right now, I am loving every minute of it. Both Pfeiffer and I play co-ed softball once a week. I played last summer two days a week, but with being gone two nights already because of school, I decided that playing on one team was enough for now. Pfeiffer and I have a great life!!

Little GB is growing up so fast!! Pfeiffer and I look at him as we believe that he will be two in October. It seems like it was only yesterday that we were still calling him Skittlez and awaiting his arrival. (albeit early)
I just took him for another hair cut and I think all of the baby was cut away because he looks so much older and like a big boy. He's learning new words every day and Pfeiffer and I are just amazed at what he can do. Of course we are biased, but he's a genius to us!! He loves being outside and loves following his Daddy wherever he goes. He loves pushing things, especially his little lawnmower and he loves playing with his bat and ball. He is such an awesome little guy!! We are so lucky and honored to be his parents.

We will attempt to post pictures often. Pfeiffer I am sure will have weekly peak pictures as we will need to post pictures of Little GB...
