He's cute up there (mainly because he's so cute) but it still makes me a little nervous. I'm a worry wart, forgive me! : )

Simply Sara said...

So cute!
He looks like he's in a tree sandwich :)

Ok, now I really can't wait for spring!

I love people willing to climb trees! As a photographer, it puts a whole new perspective to a photo and adds a dose of fun!

Great picture!

I have a very similar picture of my son in a tree just like that. So cute!

Sera said...

I love that picture! He looks so adventurous and proud of himself. :)

debi9kids said...

I used to love climbing trees too (back when my knees didn't buckle every time I moved. LOL)
My boys are all tree climbers and fort builders.

That's an awesome picture of a very happy guy!

Happy WW!
ps Look out, my post is REALLY wordy.

Cecily R said...

His. Smile. Is. Awesome.

Lindsay said...

What a happy little camper you have! And if climbing trees runs in the family, mine will thankfully be staying on the ground. :-)

Sarah said...

What a great photo, he looks so happy in that tree.

scrappysue said...

Carebear said...

Cute! Nothing makes a boy seem quite as happy as climbing, does it?

Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting said...

Beautiful shot. My children are little tree monkeys too. Heck, they get it from me, because I was at their age, too. I might not be able to anymore, but momma could climb a tree. Oh yes, momma could ;)

Elyse said...

Tammie totally rocks my world. Adorable WW!!!
~Elyse~

Carissa(GoodnCrazy) said...

Nice Tree. Oh kid too!

And from below. Get this. All three of my kids wake to their own alarm clocks. I'm not kidding. I don't set an alarm clock anymore? They are like little weird robots, I swear?

Youngest will climb in with us in middle of the night but not so bad lately.. he really likes to sleep in a room with a sibling, then he doesn't find us as often!

We have a photo tree in our woods. I should post the photos I took of Cade when he was small and was able to squeeze into it. I love this photo. He is so cute.

Cecilia said...

His smile is PRICELESS!

My children used to love to climb trees too, and I always found it a little nerve wracking :)

What a great shot! I used to love climbing trees when I was little. It was so much fun to dream about having an elaborate treehouse and living with the birds and squirrels :)

April said...

Great picture. Thanks for hosting this event. It is my first time and think it is a great idea. I added a link to your site and "followed you." I am a SITS commenter and I snagged your button. When you get a moment click over to my site and see if you might want to get my button and link to my site. I write to encourage MOMS as they train up the next generation. Blessings as you blog.

Unknown said...

He looks like he had fun! The joys of being a kid. :)

Live.Love.Eat said...

This reminds me how my son has never climbed a tree. I guess we don't have climbable trees or he's just not that adventurous. Great picture though. Is this from the same photo shoot from all the others. Wow, you got a lot of good ones.

Anonymous said...

He looks like he is having so much fun. What an adorable smile. This picture reminds me of when I was a kid and not afraid of anything.

Cathy said...

great reminder--i used to love to climb trees, too, and now my son does and i get scared about it.

Becky said...

Those are some of my favorite shots too. What a cute little monkey you've got there!

jori-o said...

So cute! He's having so much fun!!

Allison said...

My brother loved to climb trees...in fact, he climbed a pine tree in the mountains of Colorado once. He got scared and wanted my dad to get him. But, the limbs were too short to hold my dad, so we had to talk him down, all the while he was about 4 or 5 stories up. The very ironic thing is...before he came down, my mom HAD to get a picture of him. I am sure she would have blogged about it had she had one at the time!

Stephanie said...

One of my favorite climbing trees memories from childhood involves purple stains on clothes, fingers, and faces. We had a huge mulberry tree on my parent's farm, and spent many lazy summer days perched in it!

Cute pic!

There's nothing like a good climbing tree. Great shot, priceless!

Great picture! I live in a house full of monkeys too. Mine are always in the trees. And from time to time I will still do climb up in the trees with them.

Wayfaring Wanderer said...

Me too! One time, I even fell out of one and had to go to the hospital....YIKES!

Nicole said...

What a cute picture! My oldest is into tree climbing, cant wait for the younger ones to be big enough to join in! I think! That means 3 times the e.r visits.

Anonymous said...

What a great picture! I love his hair and smile, he reminds me of my brother when we were kids.

Cristin said...

I was a tree climber right up through my college days... I remember skipping a Philosophy class one day, I ran into the professor after the missed class and he asked where I was... I admitted that I was climbing trees and he told me that it was a much better use of my time...

Lorie said...

I have a herd of tree climbers as well, but I don't ever remember climbing trees myself. Love your picture! Thanks for hosting.

Melissa said...

awww, how cute!! I have a little tree-climber...monkey too!!
I swear, you all have the best red hair....I love it!!

Joy said...

I also use to love climbing in trees and was lucky to have a great climbing tree when I live at home. My son loves to climb also I just wish we had bigger trees

Anonymous said...

I used to love climbing in trees also! I never had good climbing trees for my own kids though in any of the houses we've lived in. Your little guy is lucky!

Betty said...

How I miss those days, of watching my kids climb trees! They loved it!

Great picture! My girls haven't started that yet. Thank goodness! lol!

Do you remember the tree house in Manti? I used to love to go up in the tree house. Now i have this huge fear of heights! Too cute!

Kathleen W. said...

I was a tree climber too! Now I'm mostly a tree hugger (yuk yuk yuk).

Colleen - Mommy Always Wins said...

Very cute shot! Can't wait till spring comes back to SE Wisconsin!!!

So cute! The essence of childhood- for me- is climbing trees.
I wonder if I still could? I would probably get stuck!

Mrs.Naz@BecomingMe said...

Gorgeous photo!!

Nina said...

My boys are not old enough to climb yet but I was a monkey in a tree so I wouldn't expect anything less from them.

Lula! said...

I still climb magnolia trees...they are the best for scaling...strong, sturdy branches that are low to the ground. Good times.

Mandy said...

My kids love to climb them too...its the getting down they don't like!

Anonymous said...

That picture is so cute!

Amy said...

Such a cute picture! And such an adventurous little boy! :)

Bramblemoon Farm said...

That is such a cool picture! I want to make the kids a treehouse SO bad, but I'm not sure we have a tree that will really work. My inlaws cut down a willow tree that was awesome for the kids to climb. Grrrrrr...I was mad, but it is their tree so I guess I can't complain:)

girlytwins said...

So adorable as always! You really did get some amazing pictures from Tammie. She did such a wonderful job with your family.

Susie said...

Great picture!! I used to love to climb trees too:-)

Not one.

MyLinda said...

What a cute picture! I got stuck in a tree as a child so I tend to talk my kids into not trying... need to stop doing that!

Honey Mommy said...

I used to like climbing trees too. Luckily my boys are a bit young for it at the moment!

Bonnie the Boss said...

I still love to climb trees!

Casey's trio said...

Too cute!

Kally said...

I love this pic. It reminds me of the days I was a major tree climber myself and all of the neighborhood boys were afraid to climb trees.
....There I was safely perched at the top of a pecan tree. All of the boys struggled to climb the lower limbs as I pelted them with green pecans.

Ash said...

I'm late!! But I'm here.

The story of my life, really.

Love the tree shot! Em

Scribbit said...

What a fun picture--boys should be climbing trees.

Lottie_Ellie said...
