Wisconsin Chores

Now that we are living in the Artic North, Ben has acquired new chores which includes scraping snow off of the roof to prevent damage. Here are some pictures to make you all jealous that you don't have to routinely do the same!

We do not own a ladder, nor do any of the neighbors, that did not stop Ben. After 5 minutes in the garage, Ben walked out with this-- our new ladder--Tippets' style.

After seeing Ben's creative invention, our neighbor laughingly said,"Ben--you are so innovative! You just made my month!"

Bridger's 1st Birthday

IF you are one of everyone who missed Bridger's Birthday party, here are some pictures. We had a great time and Bridger got lots of musical gifts that he loves. Thanks to all of our Wisconsin friends for joining us and making it a special day!

BIG STEPS!!

Bridger took his first steps on his own last week, but hasn't really tried again until yesterday. In the morning, he walked all the way down the hall on his own and then he was walking all over the house several times throughout the day. Here is a tiny clip of what we recorded. Bridger-- You're so big!! Today is his 1st birthday, and we are proud of our little boy.

Bridger's new favorite toy

Bridger is almost walking, he has the ability, but is still working on the confidence to do so. (I guess just like all of us in life when we encounter new things) Grandma Tippets is anxious to see his progress, so here is a short clip. (Sorry there is no sound on the camera that we filmed this)
