Video Time!

Here is a close up video of Trenton smiling and babbling. He was playing in Tazo's crate when he saw me with the camera. All of a sudden the camera became a more interesting toy than the crate! He keeps trying to grab it from me . . . watch and laugh :)

Stardom

Ok, so this is way cool. Chelsea, Landon's sister, got married at the zoo and they used her wedding picture for a flier they sent out! I guess they are having a bridal show/fair at the zoo and to advertise they used this picture. I'm famous :) I'll sign a copy for anyone who wants one . . .

Catch Up

I posted a smattering of pictures all at once. I was going through my computer and there were SO many cute ones; I couldn't resist!


Hope it's not sensory overload :)

Rock On!



Aunt Caitlyn gave Trenton this mohawk while we were at the park and he was covered in sunblock. Who knew sunblock could be used as styling gel?! Isn't he the cutest . . .

It's the Real Thing



Well, I guess we know his first choice in soda. Pops will be happy! :)

Trenton's Fort or Tazo's Crate?



Trenton has found his new favorite place to play . . . . . Tazo's crate :) Whenever the gate is open he crawls right in and plays around, sometimes even closing the door on himself. Tazo always sniffs around so confused. At least he hasn't tried to join him in there yet!! Posted by Picasa

The Lazy Boy



Landon just got a lazy boy, which is something he has dreamed about for 10 years! It came in two pieces and he had to connect it and then lock it in place with a screwdriver. Trenton crawled over to help dad with his tools! Then when the project was completed, he got to sit in the chair and celebrate success with dad. Posted by Picasa

Family Time


Here's the whole Kemp family together.



Here's a picture we took the last night we were in Colorado.
Trenton loved spending time with his aunts and uncles.

Bathtime



Here's a couple of pictures of Trenton in his bath. He loves the water, but I have to say his favorite part of bathtime is the washcloth! I'm now in the habit of pulling two washcloths out of the cabinet when preparing for the bath because I know he'll want one and I'll need one to wash. It's so funny how quickly he learned to look for it. I'll put him in his little bath chair and he'll practically fall out of it trying to reach for the cloths I have on the side of the tub!! Then, after we're done and I pull him out of the tub, he holds on to the cloth still. Most of the time he doesn't even hold it in his hands, but hanging from his mouth while his arms wave around in the air in excitement. It's very cute and it's become one of his quirks that we'll enjoy reminding him when he's older.

Bam Bam



This is a bat that Corey and Amaris gave Trenton when he was born. Corey works in the Sports Ministry at Central and he and his wife are in the small group we just started. The bat just now became one of Trenton's favorite toys! We call him our own little Bam Bam because he waves it around and drags it behind him when he's crawling. It's especially funny when he does his "ooh ooh" face holding the bat because he sounds like a little caveman :) Posted by Picasa

Family Reunion in Colorado

We just got back from 8 days in Colorado with my family, my aunts and uncles, and my Grandma. It was such a blast and so wonderful to all be together. Plus, the weather was cool and we were surrounded by trees and mountains. We stayed in a cabin that sleeps 14 in Frisco, a ski resort town that was beautiful. We were right by the little downtown full of shops and bakeries and so we walked there a couple of times during the week. Plus, we rafted on the Arkansas River, watched a Rockies game at Coors Field, played bocce ball and volleyball at a local park, and celebrated my mom and my aunt's birthdays with presents and pie! Every moment together was so special, especially since we live far away. Trenton got a lot of time with my family, especially his aunt Caitlyn who wanted to hold him and his diaper bag every time we left the cabin! :) She and Trenton are going to be really close. Below are some pictures with the highlights of the trip.
