Colorado!

Walker's most marketable skill at this point is knocking out his sister's wiggly teeth. She lost her first tooth when Walker sat on her face at the gym (they were playing). And, she lost her second tooth when Walker sat on her face (with Daddy's help). She thinks that's the best way to lose a tooth. We all offered to pull it, but she insisted that Walker sit on her face again. So he did. And out it came. It was nasty...that tooth needed to come out. The adult tooth was on its way in, and her gums were looking swollen. :( So thank you, Walker, for serving such an important purpose in Lainey's life!

It was bright outside.

a beautiful walk in a meadow

Tuck pointed out "Elephanthead" flowers to Walker.

This meadow holds the entrance to a hike along the Continental Divide. Interestingly enough, our family (the Hagan side) first visited this meadow in 1985. We even have pictures!

A beautiful flower. Walker is always picking flowers (and/or weeds...) for me. He'll pick them and say, "This is for you, Mommy." :) 

I think they are pointing out rain clouds.

Many of the trees in this part of Colorado have been killed by Mountain Pine Beetles. So sad. 

Looking at flowers. One of the funniest ones we saw was called "Miner's Sock." It's white and fuzzy and stinky!

Elephanthead...each blossom looks like an elephant with a trunk, a face, and two floppy ears. 

picking flowers for Emmy

Whenever these two are in the bathtub and/or shower together, they play a game called "Tug-of-War" where they pull each other's arms back and forth. Their song goes like this: Tug-of-War, Tug-of-War, we..are..egg..rolls. Is that not the most random thing? 

Walker frequently says "That's weird." Except he says "weird" like "wee-owd." :) So, of course, that's how we've started saying it. :)

Walker's first picture of his mom and dad. :) Such a flattering picture. :)

Walker has adopted Tuck's visor. He likes it. Shockingly!

He's a cutie. :)
