a winters hike.

last saturday the weather was GORGEOUS so we had to get outside. we headed out to a state park not too far from our house that we've been wanting to go to since we moved here. it was sorta a gamble on going. we were worried there would be too much snow/ice left over, it may be unsafe for lane to run or even for me with falling. but we stayed on the trail majority of the time so baby was safe. lane and vance ventured off and climbed around, suddenly i became my mom yelling "be careful!" every two seconds. man, i get nervous when it comes to my boys. love.them.so.much. it was a GREAT day! felt so good to get some fresh air, we laughed the whole time, one of those mornings that it was just good to be a family.

you can't tell at all in this picture, but behind the rock vance is sitting on was a straight drop off. maybe this summer we'll venture down and walk along the canyon floor.

love this!





vance stopped to get snow out of his shoes so lane thought he needed to too, such a little copy cat.


lane walked TWO miles on his own. he started off running and by the end it was all he could do to keep one foot in front of another. such a trooper!



when we got home lane slept for 4 1/2 hours and then played in the garage with dad. he had to think it was the best day ever.
...vance and i ended the night watching karate kid. classic.

Is that Castlewood Canyon? Lane is so cute Celine, he looks like he is growing up so fast!
