Enoch’s First Day of School

My little man started school today!! He was SO excited to be going, so excited that he only ate one spoonful of cereal. He couldn’t wait! We got to school so early because he was done with waiting around the house. “Could we just go for a small ride and then go to school?” “Why aren’t we leaving yet?” It was awesome. I couldn’t have asked for a better first day. I was a little jealous even because I never experienced school. I’m so happy for him!

Waiting outside the school, we got there ten minutes before the doors opened. He kept asking if it had been ten minutes yet.

Once we walked in, this crazy grin didn’t leave his face. He was the second kid to walk in his classroom. He was pumped! He let me take a couple of pictures and after every one he would ask, “So now are you leaving Mom? Is it time for you to leave yet? When do you leave?” I teared up a little bit on the way to the classroom but decided to hold it together in case he freaked out but he did SO well. I cried as I drove out of the parking lot.

 

 

 

 

 

Travis stayed home with his Tutu, he was still sleeping when I got back. I was worried he would be upset that Enoch wasn’t home but this is how he’s looked all morning.  

shooting

We did some shooting while we were camping. It had been a LONG time since I had shot a gun. I was probably 11 or 12 and we lived on a HUGE ranch in Montana. Its been a while.

Here, Joe is shooting his BB gun and letting the boys help him. Yes, Joe is now the proud owner of a BB gun. HAHA.

 

Travis is a lefty.

Janna just looked too cool shooting not to post these. Good job Janna! You looked like a pro.

I, on the other hand, was too busy whining about how loud it was. : )

camping august 2011

We got to go camping! YES!! Its been a while since we’ve been camping and I don’t think I’ve actually done mountain camping with Joe before so this was a first. We’ve camped at Lake Powell on the beach but we camped right beside a house boat with a bathroom, stove, sink, tv, etc. All the goodies from home I guess you could say. I think the area we camped was Rock Creek? It was near Jefferson, about 16 miles from Fairplay. It was SO much fun. I personally had a blast. We went with our friends The Hortons. Their little boys are just so cute and so much fun. Once we got home I asked Enoch was his favorite part about camping was. His response, “Konner. He’s really cool and he’s my best friend.”. It was so cute! I think my favorite part was seeing how dirty the boys could get and not being overly concerned with it. Its nice to just let them be boys for once. I’m sure if you were to ask Joe what his favorite part of camping was, it would be fishing. And most likely his conversations with Rocky. We all had a really good time. I’m glad we went, I’m glad we were able to go, and I’m hoping we can make it a yearly thing. Everyone needs a jaunt out into the wild every now and then. It was very relaxing and just super enjoyable.

So here are just a few photos from the trip.

Travis was checking Hunter out while Rocky & Joe set up our tent.

He was comfy.

Konner was an awesome helper!! He calls Joe “Bishop”, its SO cute!

Starting the mischief. We hadn’t been at camp but five minutes and Enoch was already getting himself into time out.

The boys were getting a work out on the car handles.

Hunter’s got to try too!

Enoch was all about the fish, eating them, fishing for them, holding them. This is SO his element.

Travis was very interested in touching the fish.

The boys were GREAT helpers and really enjoyed helping cook the fish. Travis & Konner took turns “salting” the fish.

Touchin’ the fish again.

Hunter wanting to get in on the action.

Travis actually tried to eat the onions off the fish. Then he found the rest of the onion and took a couple of bites.

Playing in the ash. I couldn’t get him to look through the binoculars the right way. He did this the entire time.

SO cute! I just wanna kiss him!

Silly little guys.

Travis LOVED eating the fish and became Rocky’s buddy for dinner.

Sweet little Konner!

More mischief!  

Doing what they do best. FISH!
