Birthday Boy

remember this baby boy?

He is celebrating his 2nd birthday today.

He is stubborn.
He loves books.
He hates to wear shoes in the car.
He is a very picky eater.
He gives the best hugs ever.
He is suddenly a chatterbox.
He has the bluest eyes.
He is a big helper around the house.

We love him from his head to his piggy toes.

birthday climb

It was about 9 years ago, just before my 30th birthday(holy cow!), that I last climbed this beautiful mountain that looms in the skyline of our town. As my birthday surprise Mr. Bejos hired a sitter and we hit the trail to do it once again, this time together.
It is a deceiving climb. The mileage is not impressive, per say, and the first 3.5 miles aren't too bad. But then the rocky scrambling begins and the two false summits dash one's dream of finally reaching the top.  I was ready to give up, almost, but not quite hoping that the clouds moving in would bring down the rain and we could turn around and call it a day. Oh how glad I am that it did not rain and that we pushed on to the top. The views were stunning.

Almost sweeter than the ascent was the post-hike beer and removal of hiking boots. Thanks Mr. Bejos :)

Rain gear

Bejos boy was more than excited to test out another birthday present in our recent drizzly rains. He burst in from school, ran for his umbrella and coat, and headed out for the rain.
