Visit with "Grammy"

Last week we had a wonderful visit from my mom. Ramsey had a break from daycare and I had some much welcome help during more of Scott's field work. Ramsey enjoyed the time so much! We took him to the zoo, the pool, the market, the park, a birthday party, a bbq, bike rides, and walks.
My mom got to experience the fun we have picking up the dog poop as well. Ramsey, for some reason, is really thrilled to "help out" by walking around the yard looking for poop. When he sees it, he points and shouts out "dirty, dirty." He gets so excited about doing this that he gets really upset if there is no more "dirty" to pick up.
Although I thought I had cleaned before her arrival, she was continuously finding things that hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long. And got to experience helping me remove the pipes under the sink because of a clogged disposal. We also battled flies, spiders, dogs rolling in horse poo, and a crib poo explosion to top it off. Through it all, we had a grand time and treated ourselves to a steak dinner at the end!
She left behind a framed picture of the two of them that Ramsey points to and says "grammy". Ramsey can recognize all of his aunts and uncles and grandparents in pictures now! He likes to carry them around and say people's names.

Labor Day Mini Vacation

We took a little trip up to the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho last weekend and stayed in a cabin in the woods. While mom and dad took turns mountain biking, Ramsey enjoyed hiking around and exploring the rivers. He especially enjoyed all the cool rocks there were to throw in the river.

The two highlights of trip for Ramsey were the hot springs and the corndogs. We found a hotspring that was alongside the river. The spring mixed with the river water provided the perfect bath temperature for Ramsey to hang out in. You couldn't beat the scenery either. Afterwards, Ramsey played in the sand and mowed his way through a giant corndog at Red Fish Lake.
