I'm a Big Boy Now

Yes, my mommy is bragging that I can sit up already.

The grass and trees and leaves are oh so interesting.

I love life!

More Brian Adventures

We went to the State Fair with my Mom, Allison and Jordan. Brian really enjoyed just watching all the people and animals and of course riding around in his favorite place to be, the backpack. I loved seeing the animals, watching a horse show, and eating fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! All the kids in the pig barn thought Brian was covering his nose because of the pig smell, when he was really just sucking his thumb. It sure gave everyone a laugh though.
The next week we went to the Tracy Aviary with his Aunt Vivian and cousin Xander. Once again Brian just loved riding around seeing new things. Thanks Vivian and Xander!
Most of Brian's adventures take place at home where he is always learning new things and having fun. This morning he was enjoying his activity center while I ate a little breakfast. Nice bed head Brian.
The following video is Brian just hanging out on his changing table and then another clip of him with his dad. He's really starting to talk a lot.

Labor Day and Lumberjacks

Over Labor Day weekend, we spent some time at the Ranch sitting in the hot tub and roasting marshmallows. Then on Sunday we ate at the Hsiao house and on the rainy Labor Day we went bowling.
Brian was even able to get a few zzzzz's in at the bowling ally.

See if you can find our family in the picture below in the midst to Mark's brothers.


This last weekend was my mom's birthday and all she wanted for her birthday was to have everyone help with a few projects around the ranch. When I told Mark this he decided his project for the day would be to cut and split ALL the logs for the winter wood pile. So, he got the chain saw, we left Salt Lake bright and early and he started cutting. It took him the whole morning to cut the logs into pieces and then his favorite part, . . . .
. . .splitting the wood, could actually begin.
He split for hours until after lunch when Dave joined in. Then the fun really began. They had a competition to see how many hits it took to split the log that the other person picked out for them to chop.
Even the kids got involved and stacked all the wood. Well, Evan stacked most of it and Clara, Vivien, and Jordie did what they could to help.

Happy Birthday Mom!
