Jeep Trip

For the first time in over a year, we set off at 5:30 this morning for a really fun Jeep trip with Ashley and Scott. We went to Elbe Hills, a trail we had never run before. Erik spent the last week lifting our jeep and putting new off-road tires on and so we were pretty excited to try it out.



We met up with Russ, a backwoods dude with a very interesting take on beavers. Don't ask. From the backseat I got a few good pictures of Russ' Jeep.


Things started out pretty normal, rock here, tree trunk there. Nothing to write home about.




We didn't expect to see mud out there since it's been so hot lately. You can't tell from the picture but Ashley and I ended up getting completely covered head to toe in stinky mud. It was pretty fun. Then we got stuck and couldn't get out. So we had Russ tow us out. After several attempts which included Erik taking off his shoes and socks and getting the mud, we got out of the mud pit.

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
