Parades, pancakes and planes!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Check your calendar! Yes, it was another Frontier Days week full of fun here in Cheyenne, Wyoming! We are still keeping it simple for the sake of our budget and our sanity. Some of the events here are just too much for a toddler and a baby to handle. We started off our activities with the Saturday parade and we rode our bikes to our usual spot downtown. The weather was perfect! Rheya fell asleep half way through, but Vaughan stayed interested almost the whole parade.

Next, we hit the pancake breakfast on Cheyenne Day. Vaughan ate a lot and didn’t even mind sitting in the stroller while we waited in line. Lots of people, but very enjoyable!

After the pancakes we made our way to the south side of town to watch the Thunderbirds performance. Vaughan was so excited and watched the whole show! Rheya fell asleep, although she did get a little upset when the planes flew right over us and startled her a bit.

Here they come!

Great times and great memories! Yee haw!

Five months!

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Can time really be going this fast? I can’t believe it, but Rheya is five months old already. She’s rolling all over the place and is desperately trying to crawl. She has managed to move herself as far as about a foot and a half, so I’m sure it won’t be too long before she’s cruisin’ along right after her big brother!

Rheya has been sleeping much better at night and at nap time as well. She also has discovered her feet and loves to lay on her back and hold onto them. Still no teeth in the works, but she’s drooling and chewing on anything she can get her hands on.

Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment!

Once again, our good friend, Mary Steinbacher, came through with some great family pictures of us at the park! It gets harder with two kids, but we did manage to get some wonderful shots. Thanks again, Mary!

Exploring at Vedauwoo

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

We took a little trip to Vedauwoo today to hang out and look around. It was a little bit cool up there, but we came prepared with sweatshirts. Vaughan enjoyed climbing up on the rocks despite his inappropriate rock climbing footwear. Here are a few pictures! (By the way, when I handed Vaughan his hat, he put it on sideways like that. So, that’s how it stayed!)

Rheya is in this picture, too…I’m wearing her in the Mei Tai, so she’s pretty well hidden!

Vaughan helped Rick move the car. “Driving” was probably one of the best parts of his day!
