Dancing

Truman is a dancing fool!! This is a really mellow and super short dance session for him. This kid is constantly rocking out and it is so fun to watch. He got rhythm, yo!

Sucker

Laughing

I love it!! I love making this kid laugh and try to do it everyday; it is so fun and funny!!

New Glasses

I decided it was time to get my eyes checked since I couldn't remember the last time I had done so. I've never had glasses or contacts, so I guess this means I am officially getting old! The Dr. said that my prescription is very minimal and that I probably wouldn't be able to notice any improvement by wearing glasses except for maybe driving at night. So far, I don't think they really help, but they are fun to wear sometimes.

 They make me look like I would be able to help you find a book at the library or something and that's pretty cool. I have to put a plug in for www.zennioptical.com These sweet mamma's only cost me about $15 including shipping. It's the only place we buy glasses and we try to tell everyone about it.
It's like I am a new person when I put them on. Amazing.

Playing

The weather has warmed up recently, so we have been able to go outside and have a little fun. Truman and I have taken a couple of walks on the golf course during the afternoon. Sometimes he doesn't want to be pushed, he would rather walk by himself. I like to find a good flat spot and then let him out of his stroller and we play. He played with his ball for about 5 minutes and then figured out it was much more fun to push the stroller, which is now one of his favorite things to do on a walk.



 We actually saw a TON of deer poo, a coyote, and a blue herron on this walk. Such exciting wildlife on the golf course!
 T is also fascinated with the diswasher, so Daddy let him climb on in (after bracing it) and go wild. He threw all of the silverware out while saying, "Uh-oh!".



The Friday before Spring Break, Rick didn't have any class, but he needed to go to campus to work on an assignment with a classmate. Truman and I decided to stop by and Rick hooked it up! Truman got to play with all of the fun equipment that the physical therapy students get to use. I think Rick should take him to school more often.

Trouble

Figuring out that he can push things around to where he wants and then climb on them, in his desired location.
"Yeah, so what, I climb on stuff all of the time when you aren't looking."

Elden's Crack....

We actually got out and did something this weekend!! This is pretty big time for us. The weather has been pretty nice (in the 50's) so Rick's classmate, Beau, set up a group hike. We headed to Mt. Elden on Saturday afternoon for about a 2 mile jaunt up Elden's Crack...ironically Rick's Grandpa's name was Elden, so Rick felt slightly awkward at the beginning.



Drink break...don't worry, Truman thew that sippy cup in the dirt, that's how he likes things.
Starting to see some water! Truman got switched to Rick's back at this point so that Rick could use his hands while doing some minor rock climbing...probably not our safest move as parents.
We had great views of Flagstaff pretty much the whole way.
Our final destination. There was a little waterfall and pool. We were hoping to see some ice waterfalls, but we think we were a couple of days late.
Truman absolutely loves being outside, even in the Bjorn. He pointed at things and jabbered the whole way. He had a great time. Thanks for packing me Daddy!!
Mr. T hangin' out at the top, throwing rocks, sticks, dirt, and lovin' every minute of it.

We also had Holly and her BFF Lorena come up on Friday. Lorena is going to apply to the NAU PT program this coming fall, so she came to check things out. Hopefully we were able to answer most of her questions and give her some helpful information. It was fun to have family up to visit. We ate a lot of fruit and sugar and had a fire in the fireplace on Friday night. It was good to catch up and hear about Holly's cookoo school stories. Good times all around. Come back and visit again ladies!!
All, in all it was a really good weekend. Rick had 3 tests this last week, so having them all done, he was able to relax and spend a lot of time with Truman and I. I loved it :)
