First Father's Day

So I'm a little behind...
Father's Day weekend was a busy weekend. Saturday, was the E Print company picnic at Elitch Park. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun to be in the Park. Sunday we went up to Estes Park and had lunch with Nate's mom and step dad, Dave. It was another gorgeous day and it was nice to get away, even if only for a couple hours. We eat lunch in the gazebo and it was so relaxing. On the drive home, we decided to take the long way and came down the canyon into Loveland. We continued towards home on small, rural back roads. It was fun to explore something new.

Riley is 8 months old

Another month has come and gone. Riley weighs 19.25 lbs and now has 6 teeth (4 on bottom and 2 on top). He is rolling all over the floor. His baby babble is starting to sound more like actual words, although it is still gibberish.

Rubber Ducky...

Bath time has become a favorite activity for Riley. He loves to watch the water fill the tub, splash with his hands, grab for his floating friends and kick his feet while floating on his back (with my assistance of course). And now that meals time are getting messy, we are taking more baths.

First trip to the pool

This past Tuesday, I decided to take Riley to our community pool. The pool is really nice and has a very large kids area. It was a beautiful day in the mid 80's and the pool was packed. We went with our neighbor Amber and her kids, Jack (who was born the same day as Riley) and Ashlynn, who is 3. We sat at around the edge of the pool were the water is only a couple inches deep and Riley splashed around. Then we decided to put him in a baby raft that Amber had. He loved it. He was very content to just float around all day. I think he would have fallen asleep in it if I had let him. I'm sure we'll be spending a lot more time at the pool this summer.

My brother, the photographer

My brother is an amazing photographer. He is also a rock climber and has found a unique way to merge the two. He will be the featured artist this month at the Backseat Gallery in the Comma Coffee Shop in Carson City, Nevada. The show is called... you guessed it, Transitory Moments. Too bad most of us won't be able to check it out. It opens today and will be up until June 28th.

How does he do that?
