Summer Status

Just a few random pictures from the last month...

Eli is big into independent play right now. He loves lining things up, building and pretend play of any kind. His biggest news right now is his current status as a big boy undies wearer! I would venture to say that he is potty trained (ok, night time doesn't count...yet.) We always get a good laugh when he requests help to get up on the toilet to take care of business, then polietly asks, "Get out, peas. Me need pie-yacy (privacy)."



Still not sure why I feel compelled to put my kids in the laundry basket and take their pictures-but you've got to admit, it's cute!


So this is why they invented paint suits! It took an hour to scrub it all off, but the picket fence is DONE!




You know what they say, "click it, or ticket." Apparently, the rule applies to Lambie too.


Camping is fun!

Emmett is 3 Months Old!

Trip to Desert Aire

We just got back from a little R and R with the Youngren's at their house in Desert Aire. Fun!

A trip to Grandpa and Grandma Moo-Cows!

I've sort of given up on posting pictures and comments in any sense of order, so here goes...

A few weeks ago, we headed west to Grandpa and Grandma Moo-Cows (so titled by my niece, Chloe, who also calls her grandparents that have horses Grandpa and Grandma Horse. :-) Our first stop was at Ryan and Mandy's house for a tea party to celebrate Brenna's 5th bday. Then it was off to to visit grandpa and grandma at Center Valley Angus. Unfortunately, Grandpa Moo-Cows landed in the hospital for 4 days with pneumonia. (If you know Michael, you know how strange it is that he of all people would be in the hospital!) Shane and his brothers ended up coming home as soon as they could because all of the hay had to be finished. It was fun to have some time with the family, despite the circumstances. Michael was well enough to come home Saturday night, so we got to spend some time with him also. While we were there we were able to make a day trip to Point Defiance Zoo with all of the little cousins. Unfortunately I have ONE picture, since my camera battery died. Needless to say, it was an absolute hoot and the Eli is still talking about the big bears on the rocks.
