Nothing Notable

We have been laying low the last few weeks so we don't have any fun, exciting adventures to share.  Sean and Indiana are still up to their old tricks, we go on walks and hang out at the playground, but that is about it.   We have a long weekend coming up and we hope to get out of the house and do something fun we just haven't decided what.

Odds and Ends

Hello everyone!  Mom has gotten lazy and it's been almost two weeks since she posted something, so I decided it was time I took it upon myself to tell you what's been going on in my life.

Mom and I traveled to Billings to watch cousin Mickey play baseball.  It was a lot of fun running around the baseball field, meeting cousins Richard, Brady, Dylan and Jordan and hanging out with Grandma Barb, the Bidwell family and Aunt Thelma.
Here are Jordan and I playing.

Mom found an awesome deal on craigslist for a wooden train set and I love it!!!  I took it to Uncle Kyle's house, he is really good at building a train track.  

This past week I got to stay home with mom for three days.  Deb had to head out of town to be with family and mom didn't want to bother anyone with last minute taking care of me.  She thought that she could handle work and taking care of me during the day, well she was kind of right.  The first day I didn't even take a nap and mom had a lot of phone calls so it was really boring for me and stressful for mom.  The second and third days were a little better but I think I prefer it when Grandma Barb comes to take care of me.

This weekend mom and dad took me to play at the Belgrade splash park.  It was a blast and a great way to cool off in the heat.  I love the water and mom says that she signed us up for swim classes this fall.  I can't wait!!!


We made a trip to Walmart for the usual weekend grocery shopping.  Mom and dad decided I had been a good boy so I got three new dinosaur toys!!!  I love dinosaurs and trains, I think these are my two favorite things right now.  And I got to ride on the train in the toy area.  

Well everyone it's time for me to get ready for the day.  I'll make sure mom gets back on top of posting.  Take care!!

Dance parties, Animal fun and Camping

When Grandma Barb was here in July she bought Sean some glow sticks to play with.  The whole time she was here he went to bed before it was dark enough to use them.  However, we found them the other day and had a rave of a dance party!

We have continued to work on our animal imitations and are moving on from sounds to actions.

The dinosaur stance! ROAR!


This past weekend Ethan and I decided to go camping, just the two of us.  Sean got to spend two days with Papa Ron and Grandma Linda.  Once again he kept them busy checking out the garden, watering flowers, going on wagon rides, and even picking choke cherries.



Our camping trip started off a little scary as Indiana decided to jump out the window of the car when he saw a gopher run across the road.  All of sudden we didn't hear Indiana's tags on his collar jingling, Ethan looks in the side mirror and sure enough he sees Indiana rolling head over tail along the side of the road.  Luckily he doesn't appear to have injured himself, expect maybe his tail, it looks like a lions tail at the end is bushy from being swollen.  

Ethan and I wanted to hike up further past the open meadow we found last time we went camping.  We knew it would be a steep rocky climb and there were a few times we wondered if we would make it, but we made it to the top and it was well worth it!  This hike reminded me of one of the first hikes Ethan took me on where I thought he was crazy and trying to kill me, this time he blamed me for trying to kill him. 

An old Coca-Cola cooler sitting in a stream next to one of the cabins we found.  
The view, almost at the top.

 The loader that was probably used to make the trail we hike on. 
 See the structure in the picture?  Yep Ethan hiked clear up to that structure and to the mine shaft above it.  Indiana and I only made up to the tree line as Indiana was getting a little overheated after the climb up the rocks.
Where's Ethan? He is wearing a red shirt.

Potty!

Sean used the big boy potty last night!  He wanted his diaper off so I took it off and told him if he needed to pee or poop he needed to tell mommy and daddy so he could use the potty.  Ethan and I then got engrossed in watching the Olympics (well me more than Ethan) and pretty soon Sean ran into the room saying "I did it, I peed!"  He took us into the bathroom and sure enough he used the potty!
