Lunch with Uncle Chris

We met Chris at Southwestern on Monday. We got to see his apartment and then we went to In N Out for lunch. Trenton brought his cell phone too, in case anyone wanted to reach him while he was out :)

Cabinet "Hide and Go Seek"

The other day, I'm in the kitchen and I can hear Trenton but I can't see him. He had crawled in through the right side of the cabinet, which was open, and hid behind the closed left door. When I spotted him, he was folded in half to fit under the shelf!!

Then he saw me looking at him, and screamed with laughter before trying to escape!

I guess he's found another "fort" besides the dog crate.

I must admit that I prefer this one :)

Mr. Smiley

His skin is kinda bright from the flash, but these are still some of my favorite pictures. In the top left one, doesn't he look like he's up to something?!?! That's my mischievous little boy! :) And in the top right one you can see 4 of his 6 teeth. He's got quite the chompers now!!

Grand Canyon Trip

Create a Free Slideshow

I deserve a badge for two reasons: I hiked the Grand Canyon and I left Trenton with Grandma and Grandpa overnight without balling my eyes out! Landon and I went camping this past weekend at the Grand Canyon. I haven't been camping in about 10 years!! I had fun, though. Then the next day, we decided to go down Angel Bright Trail, which is 8 miles one way to Plateau Point. No, I did not hike 16 miles, but I did hike 6 and I thought I was going to die. We went down into the canyon and I was doing ok. I had a blister on one heel and I was a little tired. Then we turned around to go back UP 3 miles!! I told Landon mid way that I would rather go through labor again than finish the hike :-) I was so tired and we had to climb about 2000 feet in elevation over the 3 miles back to the top of the canyon. When we finally made it, my legs were BLUE because I had sweat so much, the dye from jeans had dyed my legs!! All Landon could say was, at least we got some really cool pictures. I put some below if you care to look . . . then you won't have to go through what I did to see these sights!

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!!

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.

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 :)

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.
