Wipeout!

I posted this video on Facebook, but it's good enough for my blog, also! We headed up to Bear Lake over this Labor Day weekend and had a blast!



Bear Lake is my all time favorite place to boat because I'm a fanatic about having to be able to see my feet in the water. I hate stepping on mushy, slimy things without knowing what it is. At the lake, nothing is mushy! It's just super fine sand and crystal clear water-no wonder they call it the Caribbean of the Rockies. It was a little different, however-the water peaks at about 70 degrees. That never stops us, though. We camped all weekend and had a wonderful time boating. On Monday, Shawn't cousins came up with a few other friends and rented wave runners, so we got to play on them for a little while also.
This video I made for my sister and her roommates to remember the trip by, and I have another video of Oakster, but my computer is acting up, so I will have to add that in later. Enjoy!

Ready to Take on the World!

After only 4 months in the making, the Oakster has finally decided to take his first real steps. Since he was about 11 months old, he was walking (assisted of course) pretty well. We kept saying, "Oh, it'll only be a few weeks til he's going on his own". Month after month, he was still at the exact same place he had started the month before. After awhile, we realized he was going to start walking as soon as it was his idea. That's exactly what he did. Just yesterday, he let go of the couch and walked acrossed the room towards a toy. He tried about 4 or 5 times and that was all he needed. As soon as he woke up today, he would do nothing but walk. He was exploring everything. He loved transitioning between the carpet and tile...back and forth and back and forth. So, for all you family members that have been harassing me about my blog updates-this one's for you!
