Trip to Idaho

We had the chance to go up to Burley, Idaho to visit Tyler's family over the extended weekend. It was loads of fun!!!

Here's a picture of Lowe displaying his perfect little manner...not...he's such a toddler it's not even funny!! He's way too young to be doing the kinds of things that he does (you'd swear he thought he was two or something). Diaper changes are an all out war and sitting still for longer than 30 seconds does not happen. He's such a busy little boy you'd think someone forgot the off switch on the child!

I absolutely love the face he's making in this one. This was on Sunday, I think, and apparently he was really serious about turning the handle on the hose holder there. We didn't have any pictures from Thursday through Sunday really because we didn't really do much...it was cold, windy and rainy on those days so we were pent up inside the house!

Lowe loves animals and had so much fun playing the Clyde and Jill's dog. I'm not even going to attempt to put her name on the blog because first off, it's impossible to spell and second off, no one would be able to pronounce it...But Lowe would walk up to her, put his face in hers and wait until she gave him a kiss!!! Silly baby!!!

Yes, this is Lowe digging in the dirt with a fork. I told Grandma sorry about it but she said it was alright, the fork can be washed. Alright Grandma!!! Lowe was really going after the dirt pretty good. We let this go on until he repeatedly tried to eat what he had dug up...yucky dirt!

Last Saturday was Tyler's 29th birthday!!!!!!!!!! Happy birthday silly!!! Love you tons and tons and tons!!! We celebrated with the cake on Sunday because on Saturday we were all way too stuffed from eating pizza at Gertie's (seriously if you ever find yourself in Twin Falls, Idaho find yourself a little pizza place called Gertie's, you won't regret it, they have like 10 kinds of dessert pizza!!!!!!)

And here's little Lowe eating the cake...well, maybe not eating, more like playing with the cake...um...the dog got to have a treat when Lowe was done ;)

Lowe has had this recent obsession with hats. He used to hate having things on his head but now whenever he finds a hat or helmet or anything that he can put on his head, whoop, up on that little head it goes! Lowe wandered off into grandma and grandpa's room and came out wearing one of grandpa's hats!!! Silly baby!

Tyler and his dad are getting ready for the insane mountain bike extravaganza that they, along with Preston, are going on. It consists of riding their mountain bikes from Durango, Colorado to Moab, Utah in the space of 7 days. They ride however many miles a day and than stay at this little shanty cabins that the money paid to do this are kept up with by the organizers. You have to sign up for a specific date so people don't end up trying to stay in the same little cabins I guess. But Tyler and Clyde went on a mountain bike ride on Monday and this is what Tyler came home with. It doesn't look too bad now but this picture was taken 3 days after the fact. I went on a road bike ride with the two of them on Friday (remember what I said the weather was like?) and about died due to the cold and wind!!! It was only 8ish miles and it took about an hour! Dang head wind and cold air!!!

So Lowe was apparently trying to find new ways to entertain himself with on the car ride home from Idaho (yes I said car ride home, we drove there and back!!!) I turned around to see him holding one of his soft toy balls in his mouth! Since I laughed and him, he continued to take it out and put it back in several times, laughing inbetween bites. Surprisingly the ball didn't have any breaks in the skin after it's Lowe encounter.

So that's about all the exciting things that have happened to us here in the month of May. I'll try to do better and post more often! I also think I need to be better about taking pictures and videos of Lowe on our cameras instead of just my cell phone...

So until next week!!!
