Labor Day in Durango

The Argue family took a trip to Durango, Colorado for a long Labor Day weekend. Evan's boyfriend Blake joined us along with our good family friends the Biddle's (Donna, Bob and Blake). We had lots of fun and even took a day trip to Telluride.

Miller and I on the airplane. He is a seasoned traveler, but this trip was the hardest so far since he is always moving.

This is the house we rented.

This is the first tee at Glacier Club where Joe has a lot. The guys played golf there two days and some of them were able to tee off from up here. What an amazing view!

Our family in front another great view at Glacier Club.

What a picture! It could be the Argue Christmas card.

We hiked to a waterfall close to the house one morning. Jud was the only brave one that climbed up to it. Can you see him?

We also took a day trip to Mesa Verde National Park. Talk about amazing views and ruins.

First Day of Mother's Day Out.

Miller had his first day of Mother's Day Out at our church. Here he is ready to go. Lately he's having issues with Mommy leaving so he screamed and banged on the door for a while. Hopefully it gets better. They also don't have a morning nap so he practically fell asleep while eating lunch - poor guy.

Birthday Lunch

The Argue family went to lunch for Miller and Evan's birthdays (they share the same birthday - August 28).

Bathtime Fun

Miller got a new bathsketball bath toy from Blake for his birthday. He loves it!

Miller's First Birthday Party

We had Miller's first birthday party at the house this past weekend. We had so much fun!

Miller all ready for the party in his birthday outfit. He's pretty close to walking.

Here is Miller's birthday cake with his picture on it. We also got him a small one for him to dig into.

He's not so sure about the hat.

Getting ready to blow out the candle. We taught him how to blow and even practiced blowing out a candle. But when the time came, he froze.

Digging in.

I think he likes it.

Yep, he likes it!

He was really tired after a long day.

Fun Weekend at Home

We had a great weekend at home playing and getting ready for Miller's first birthday party.

We played in a diaper box - he loved being pushed around the house.

We put together Miller's birthday present from GraMary and Grandpa - a sand and water table with a digger. He loved playing with it, even without any sand or water.

We also put together Miller's new swing/slide he got as an early birthday present from Noni & JoJo. He loves the swing and is starting to get the hang of the slide.

Old Friends

Our good friends the Morgan's had a party the other night since Livi was in town with her kids. It was so much fun to visit with old friends.

Miller loved sitting at their table for little people. Look how big he is.

Miller - Eleven Months

Miller is almost a year old and we can't believe it. He is crawling fast and getting into everything. He can now walk with just holding onto one hand. He gets more steady every day. His top two teeth broke through last week so we now have four.

He loves all the animals. He's usually pretty gentle when petting them, but he does chase them from time to time.

Another Lake Weekend

We had another great weekend at the lake. We went up with the Argue Family and Evan's boyfriend Blake.

Miller fell asleep in Jud's lap on the boat - too cute.

Miller and JoJo.
Miller's new thing is to stick his tongue out all the time. He's even learned to push it back in his mouth with his hand when you tell him to get his tongue back in his mouth - pretty funny.

The Lake with Friends!

We went up to the Argue lake house with some friends, the Shokrian's, for the weekend. Sophia is just three weeks younger than Miller. We had great food (thanks Jeff) and a lot of fun.

Dads and kiddos at the pool.

Mommy with her cool little dude.

Look at them in their life jackets - too cute!

Miller on his first boat ride. I'm pretty sure he likes it.

On Daddy's shoulders. Good thing he likes being up there - one day he will be that tall.
