HOPKINS: 2 months Old!

That is right! Darren is 2 months old! I can't believe he is growing so fast!

This week we've been SOOOOOO busy! Why you ask? Because Auntie Jakie came in town!

She is very special to us. Tina's brother, the original Daren, was Jaki's husband. He passed away in 2005, so I was never able to meet him. I have seen many pictures and heard many stories and have just come to love him! We are so glad to have our little guy named after him! So, we've been all over this week with Jackie, we took a day to Independence to go shopping. We went up to Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Far West and Jamesport. Best of all we went to Nauvoo!!! We had a lot of fun out there! We went on a wagon ride out in the country. We got to see a musical show. We enjoyed some tours of a few buildings in the town. We did more shopping and tried a new restaurant.

Darren's first horse experience! He slept the entire wagon ride. :)

So...this picture is important although he is sleeping. Check out his cute shirt...well he decided to have the biggest explosion out his pants! It was the messiest ever...all up his back and down his legs! So while mommy was changing him..dad ran across the road to one of the stores and got him a new onsie!
