flagstaff weekend number two.

finn is such a rockstar. he has now been camping twice & this time it was real camping, not just in someone's back yard! flagstaff was fantastic this time, it reminds me of a tiny version of boulder. the weather was cool, even a little chilly at night & sprawl won the tournament. i think, didn't you bryan? anyways.

these pictures were all taken with my brand new 5dIIs. it's an A...mazing camera that i should have bought right when it was released. it's amazing. i love everything about it.

enjoy the pics.

we rushed friday late afternoon to head to flag so we could get there by dark & find a spot. we got there late, had dinner & started our search for a campground a little after dusk. both of us were pretty annoyed after about an hour and a half of searching for something that would work. i started on the air mattress which would over heat every few minutes & turn off while bryan started with the mansion. while the pump cooled off i'd help while holding finn. we finish the tent & bryan helps me with the mattress. he begins to blow it up himself. the thing is almost full when the valve gets stuck & all the air comes wooshing out. bryan was pisssssssssy after that. getting even more annoyed we start wondering why in the hell we wanted to get there that night.

we fell asleep without even a goodnight kiss.

this photo was taken around 5:45 am the next morning. bryan woke up pretty early & started to make breakfast. finn & i stayed inside the warm tent & fell back asleep. bryan woke us up once the oatmeal was ready & we looked at each other & said gently "this is why we rushed here" it seems like a lot of work to do this stuff with a babe & two dogs, but it's so worth it. so amazing to disconnect & be. our small family alone in fresh air. it doesn't get better than this.

this is how we sleep while camping- him on my chest.

finn honestly loves being outside. he loves the breeze & the noises -all of it.

love from papa.

happy baby.

sweet kylie.

this is my favorite photo of the two of us. it's been my desktop image since the trip.

liddy, a friend's daughter, was such a big help with finn. isn't she beautiful?

the tents set-up. saturday night most of sprawl joined us at the site.

our friends, sarah-anne & stan, took a cute picture like this while they were camping & it was so cute, i wanted one too!

achoooooo! finn has the same funky thing as his father... when they look at the sun they sneeze. he wasn't looking at the sun here but i love his squenched up face.

i love this next series. he is happiest when he first wakes up.


can you hear his giggle? it's pretty amazing.

skye on the way to the fields. how cute is this?

stoli & his beautiful daughter, emma. stoli is a temporary stay at home dad- we are supposed to start mommy(tehee) & baby yoga with them this friday but we're missing it bc we'll be in new york.

melissa, emma's mama, was my play date but she's gone back to work :( poor finn got his first sun burn during this weekend, but he was covered like this most of the time because it was a lil chilly & i had sun screen on him. dang sun.

i think this is soo cute.

the boys after a huddle.

i love this dog. winston is so funny.

daddy taking a break to hold his babe.


i'll end with a family photo- our first with all 5 of us!
have a great week.
