Timp with Tru! And other adventures like camping

Here are some adventures! We hiked Timp for my birthday and also went camping. And some other adventures. 

Billy loves to take pictures of Tru being burped haha I don't know why, but you will see many of this exact pose of Tru and I: 

Surprise adventure: BRRRRRENDA!! 
Brenda was driving through town because she is moving and so we went and visited her and guess what? She is as pure Brenda as she ever was!! It was a joyous reunion! 


Other adventures. Tru is getting fat, so we took him on our hike. 


It started out with an early morning, during which Billy let out a stinker that neither of us appreciated. 

And then we hit the trail! 



The snowfield/glacier was totally gone!! Crazy!


This is one of the few pictures of Tru that he doesn't look totally grumpy. In fact, I think he looks a little like Joey!

We didn't know for sure if we would go all the way to the top because we weren't sure if it was ok for Tru to be up so high, but when we made it to the lake and he was fine, we kept on going!! It was so pretty and so fun!

And we did make it to the top!



Oh my, Tru got such crazy reactions the whole time. We didn't even think about that factor, but man, every single person on the mountain made some comment about the fact that we had a baby with us, and there were a lot of people on the mountain! Everyone was like, "Is that a baby!?" "Don't tell me that's a baby!" "Oh my gosh, a baby!!" and then they would proceed to either give props to Billy for carrying him (I would quite agree!), props to Tru for being such a gnarly mountain baby (some lady actually called him gnarly), or props to me for hiking Timp after I just had a baby. So many funny reactions and comments. 

But the VERY best one came when we were pretty close to the summit, a man was coming towards us and Billy said, "Is that Dr. Drewes?" (which is something we usually say when someone looks like someone we know, ie when we see an Asian man we say, "Is that Dad?") But i looked up and said, "But really, is that Dr. Drewes?" AND IT TOTALLY WAS! 

And who is Dr. Drewes? The doctor that delivered Zoey and Truman and our very best friend doctor who we have just loved and worshipped!! There he was on the mountain! And we had just seen him the day before at my 6 week appointment, during which he had cleared me of all postpartum restrictions, so he was laughing to see us on the mountain the next day. 

We got a picture on the way down, it was too good a coincidence not to document. 

We love Dr. Drewes! 

That was definitely a highlight. 

Also a highlight were these goats. There were so many! 


And Tru was soooo good the whole hike! 
It was a great birthday present, and I was very  happy. 

And in other adventures, I talked to Char on the phone with my hair in the window visor thing. Don't really know how that happened haha. 


This week while I was at my XC practice, some group of girls had rented a camel for their friend who loves camels and whose birthday was on Sunday and I swear that girl was my long lost twin becuase my birthday was on Sunday and I love camels!! I FREAKED out about this guy! It was the best!



Aaaaaand we went camping with the Lindes and M&D and it was fun and Tru handled it like a champ!


He slept in a laundry basket. 

It was so fun and so pretty and there were such good food and in the morning, I got to go for my very first run in 10 months!!! It was glorious and beautiful!! And steep!


And two more pictures of Truman for good measure.  


Yay blog dump! There are two more new blogs under this one if you care!

  2. I just laughed my head off that entire time! Hilariousness abounds! And before I even read the caption on that picture, I totally thought...he looks like JOey there! Probably because JOey looks like me, and Tru looks like you, and me and you look a like!!!! Laundry basket sleeping is such a good idea! Hilarious and so smart!
