Wrapping Up

The hummingbirds out here are crazy. We love watching them; it's addicting!

Walker loved watching the "hunningbirds" too. He wanted to touch one. :)

I was dealing with low light and high speed...so the pictures aren't fabulous. But you can sort of get the idea!

This hill is my arch nemesis. We've been coming up to this house in Pagosa for 7 years. In all of those years, I've run this route numerous times. And this hill gets me every single time. Every single time! I always have to stop and walk for a bit at the halfway-up point...this time, I decided to document my struggle. I will get through this hill one day. I must!

A cute dinner picture...notice the THREE tattoos Lainey has on her face. She also has one on her hand.

teensy tiny thing

This afternoon we were watching Tuck practice shooting his bow and it started to rain. This was Lainey's idea for protection.

And, of course, after the rain stopped, she wanted to make sure that if it started again it would not get the front of her face wet. Hmm. Okay....

Yesterday, Walker helped Emmy clean some glass doors. Uncle Matt used to do this as a child; he LOVED it. Walker liked it too. :) 

You can't tell from this picture, but Walker was so excited that his feet were covered in "coal dust" (also known as dirt). 

And lastly, here are Lainey and Walker's new pets. Lainey's "horny toad" is on the left, and Walker's "sfider" (spider) is on the right. They get the royal treatment around here...baths, bathroom breaks, scrubdowns with a toothbrush... I think Sofi and Lucy are happy to have a break from constant - and I mean constant - harassment. :) Walker saw a real spiderweb on the ceiling today, and claimed he saw the spider too (he didn't) but insisted that the spider just wanted to go "play up dere (there)" on the ceiling. I love the way his cute little brain works.
