Chloe - 9 Months Old

Watching Daddy play soccer at lunch.

Enjoying the swing :)

In Grandpa Greg's Corn Field!

Pulling herself up in the crib - time to lower that mattress!

One of her favorite places to play in the office.

Feeding herself with Grandpa Greg's supervision.

Playdate with Emmaline, her Due Date buddy.

I'll let you use your imagination on this one :)

"I'm gonna eat you!"

How Mommy used to sleep when she was little - butt in the air

Hume Lake - August 15 - 22, 2010

Although very exhausting during the first half of the trip, we made it to Hume Lake once again with a 8 1/2 month old baby! The second half of the trip went much better once Chloe got used to her new sleeping arrangements and starting sleeping much better through the night. The following are some (ok, a lot) of pictures from Chloe's first Hume Lake Adventure:

We've arrived!!!

Setting up the tent.

First time to the Snack Shop!

The morning with Chloe :)

First time to The Cove!

Auntie Jordan used to get baths in this tub at Hume when she was a baby - Chloe LOVED getting her baths!

Auntie Jordan made Chloe her own Hume Lake shirt!

New bear boxes arrived while we were there so we had Chloe break them in for us :)

A little Frisbee Golf anyone?

Pictures from The Cove:

Chloe's first time on The Log!

We went to a "secret" place along King's River (Jeremiah & I found it last year so we thought we'd take others with us this year). We had a great last Saturday relaxing in the calm, cool river.




Jeremiah has a tradition of burying something in the campsite we were in each year (he's done this since he was a kid). It was really special for him this year to include Chloe in the tradition.
