More Pictures

Michael and Amanda got him the shirt in Jackson, so I figured they might like to see some pictures of him in it. That's about it. We've been going for bike rides lately, we got him a little seat that connects to my bike. He seems to enjoy it except for having to wear a helmet. It's fun though. Hope everyone's doing well.

Long time

Hey all,

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I figured I should probably do it now when I have a free second. We've been busy here, school started a couple weeks ago, so that's been keeping me busy. Colleen's been keeping busy trying to keep up with Silas. He's a very busy boy, he gets in to everything. He always wants to help though. He likes to put things in the garbage, whether they belong in it or not, and is always willing to help us feed the cat. He figured out that he's now strong enough to lift the container we keep the cat food in, and he figured out how to open it as well. Needless to say we don't keep the cat food where he can reach it. His new fun that just started is telling us "no" when we're trying to do something....like getting him to eat, getting dressed, changing diapers. That's been fun. Now instead of our most spoken word to Silas being "no", I think it will have to start being "yes". We had a good time in New York, got to see lots of people and Silas got spoiled rotten for almost two weeks. He spent most of his time on the trampoline with cousins Lane and Vera. It was almost like we didn't have a child for 10 days. Other than that, not much else has been going on. Here's a couple slide shows. The first one is from our "camping" trip back in June. I had posted a slideshow but then it got removed because there was a picture of Silas' bare butt on it so it violated the terms and conditions. Strange, huh? We rented a Yurt with our friends Ben and Christy and spent the night. It was a lot of fun. Anyways, the other one is from New York and also from dinner time last night when Colleen taught him how to play with his food. Anyways, hope everyone is doing great!

Cardboard box fun

Hey all, so it was raining on Friday and we were all getting a little stir crazy. Then our diapers got delivered in a big box, so I thought, I'm going to tie some string to the box and pull him around the house. That should be fun for him, right? Not only was it fun for him, it was the craziest, scariest fun he's ever had. Here are some pictures from it.

The one above is by far our favorite. It really captures the intense fear AND excitement that we think he was experiencing.

Chicken Coop

Here's a video from the other day when we were helping Mike and Lindsey build a chicken coop in their backyard. Silas climbed in it and was having the time of his life.

Birthday Photos and other stuff

Hi everyone! Here are a few photos from Silas' birthday party a few weeks ago and then some from him and Colleen playing outside today. Everything's going good here. I only have one more week left of school, which boils down to only 3 more classes, so I'm very excited to have a little break for the summer. Camping and fishing and vacation! I know it will go by way too fast though, but it will still be lots of fun. Hope everyone else is doing good!

Crazy Boy!

This is a picture Colleen did with her new camera. It just shows how busy he is and all the palces he visits in about a 3 minute time span. He had an ear infection last week, so that was fun. Other than that, everything's going good.

Silas Dancing

Here are some more pictures and a video I took this morning of him dancing. These photos are from last week or something when Colleen gave him some beets. I was going to make a reference to eating human flesh but Colleen ruined it all by putting these on facebook first. Anyways, hope everyone is doing good.
