Wallowa Lake 6

The family at the summit of Mt. Howard (at least I think that is the mt. we were on)

Myers family with Wallowa lake in the back ground!

Jeff loves swimming in lakes, and although it was cold, he couldn't resist his cannonball.

Jeff and I relaxing on the boat.

Wallowa Lake 5

Ready to head up on the Wallowa Tramway. What a ride! Incredible views all around!

Brayden did great for the whole 15 minute ride!

Brayden enjoyed riding most of the way with Uncle JJ

Even Brayden enjoyed the view!

Wallowa Lake 4

Brayden had his first taste of spaghetti on our trip. He LOVED it and he wasn't too messy.


Exploring Joseph

Some family shots in Joseph, Oregon.

Ready for our walk

The "kids" out for a walk

Auntie wanted to try out the back pack.

She did quite well.

"Give it to me, I will show you how it's done"

"This is how I roll!"

Visitors

Brayden enjoyed meeting Aunt Joyce (Jeff's Aunt) and his cousin (or 2nd cousin, not really sure how all that works) Julianna. We had a lot of fun with them!


just because

Brayden loves to cruise around by the window. We play with the neighbors cat through the screen.


We had to hide the bar stools in the dining room, but Brayden found them.

...and this is why we hid them in the first place. Our baby LOVES to chew on wood. Yum.

Brayden is becoming such a mess when he eats. This meal was carrots, turkey, cheese and graham crackers (yes, they do make graham crackers with out honey!)

What a helper

Brayden loves to try to help lately. He loves being where the action is.

"Here daddy, let me get this"

"Daddy, it goes here"

Helping momma with the laundry

"I got this momma, no worries!"

Big boy

Brayden seems to be growing so quickly these days. His new pjs are size 2T! I thought I would get some shots of him in his new pjs. Stay tuned for many more pics over the next few days. I have 277 pics from our trip and the week prior that I need to sift though. Brayden started "walking" (kinda) on our trip so there are some videos on their way too. He is so busy these days, I just don't get as much time to blog.


The boy is on the move!

He is cruising up a storm.

He laughs when he rocks the recliner.

First Costco sample

We took Brayden to Costco this week to get things for our vacation and he enjoyed his very first Costco sample. We went at night so most of the samples were gone, but they were still sampling mashed potatoes. Yum! As you can see from below, Brayden, like his momma really likes his potatoes!

Not sure about the fork...

Hmm...

Brayden is CRAZY for potatoes!

"More momma!"

Yummy!

Favorite toy

I know these are blurry, but I took them on my phone and Brayden would not stand still. He LOVES his learn and groove table. He can pull up on it and play all by himself. He also puts toys on the ottoman and cruises from the table to the ottoman and around it. He really enjoys being so independent.
