The week in photos

It was a busy week again for the Kaplun houshehold.  Here are a few pictures I took during the week.  More to come when I have time to pull pictures off my real camera. 

Dilbert's favorite sleeping position in the car.

I picked up Matthew at day care yesterday and when I came back to the car this is what I found... what a   naughty puppy.   If he wern't so dang cute he would be in serious trouble.

Dilbert sound a sleep getting some quality back time during a meeting at work on Halloween.

"wow mom... look at all the candy in my bag!"

Matthew and Macy playing with his "stash" from trick o' treating.  What intense faces these two year old have when studying candy.

Mr. cow enjoying a cookie at his daycare Halloween party after the parade.  I didn't get any parade pictures because Matthew was terrified of the school's giant chicken costume and was screaming, shaking and clinging to his teacher.   Poor little guy!

For some reason this morning Matthew insisted that he keep his blanket over his head after getting up.  He refused to take it off and would scream bloody murder when I did.  He even went to day care like this and wouldn't let them take it off either.  What a goof!  If anyone understands the mind of a two year old let me know.

My "other" child kept going out into the hallway at work today and falling asleep like this.  He is becoming quite the exhibitionist.  Of course the staff love it and come by and pet his belly all the time. 

Matthew - Very excited to be watching a hockey practice after a fun evening swiming at the epic pool.  He loves "Hockey Ball" so much that we stood there for an hour watching.....

Preparing for Halloween - part 1

On Friday night my mom and I took Matthe to "the farm at Lee Martinez" to learn how to Trick O' Treat".  Matthew thought it was so cool to say Trick O' Treat and then get candy!



Matthew the Cow and the giant ghost. 

On Saturday we went to the fall festival at Harvest Farm.  Matthew, Grandma and I had a great time. 

Matthew the pig?

Run Matthew Run!

Fun!

Matthew learns to rope. 

"Grandma, the sheep licked me!"

"Check out this one mom!"

Wow, what a strange looking sheep!

Barrel rides!

Duck races

Wow, that's a big chair. 

Matthew loved the tractor. 

Prep for halloween part 2

This weekend Matthew was so in love with the idea of dressing up that he wouldn't take his dragon costume off all day!

A  yogurt eating dragon.

On a side note, it snowed this past week... Matthew LOVED the snow!

Hockey Ball

Matthew just LOVES to watch people playing "hockey ball" at the ice rink that is near the pool where we take him swimming.  So today we took him ice skating.  He thought it was the coolest thing ever!!

Can you believe they make skates that small?

He did pretty well for a two year old I think. 

A hockey player practicing on another rink gave him a puck and he was in heaven.  Three days later he is still running around the house with it and yelling "hockey ball".  He even has to sleep with it.

Summiting Flat Top Mountain

My brother and I went to RMNP this past weekend and climbed Flat Top Mountain.  Is is only 12,300ft tall but it was so windy that it sure was a work out to get to the top. 

Longs Peak as seen from Bear Lake

Part of Hallet mountain

Half way up!!!

Yeah!  I made it too!

Emerald lake as seen from above. 

Smoke from the Fern Lake Fire that is currently burning in RMNP

Yeah, we made it above tree line. 

One view from the summit

Chad on the sumitt.

Oh how we both wish we had skies on us to jump into this beautiful bowl. 

That is Hallet Peak in the back (13,000+ ft) and the section of snow you see is where we were standing previously.  It was a great hike and a wonderful day!

Ready for Ski Season and a Silly Puppy!

We rented Matthew skies for the upcoming season.  He was super excited about having his own skies.  

Yeah!!

We even got him a harness so we can help keep him under control. 

And then today his helmet, goggles, coat and pants arrived.  He looks so cute in this I can hardly stand it!   Thank god for REI-Outlet, where I could outfit my kiddo for a reasonable price!

On a puppy side note, Dilbert still really doesn't like his gentle leader.  

Oh what a sad puppy!

He refuses to walk when he has it on.  What a stinker!

Now I may be wrong but I am pretty sure that is not a guide dog approved place for him to ride.  I dropped Matthew at day care and when I came back this is how I found Dilbert.  Again, what a stinker!
