august 2013


these are august pictures, although most of my august pictures are from mccall, which i already posted. these first few are from going to the ballard locks a few weeks ago. our kids weren't as excited about it as we had hoped they would be, so it was a pretty short trip.



jonathan has been more independent with his food lately. i know they have to learn sometime, but i have a really hard time with this phase. so messy. sometimes it's cute, though.






these two have so much fun together and are constantly making art projects (such as these crowns) together, without any assistance from me. it is going to be sad for diane to have madeleine in kindergarten.


these are some pictures from mccall that randy's grandma took and i hadn't uploaded before i posted our main mccall post. my niece, calli, taught all of the little girls a dance and it was adorable.













this was on the way home. it was a pretty miserable drive for us. jonathan hates his carseat and made sure we knew that. we were all glad to see familiar signs.


more backyard pics.




making jam and freezing berry pies.



jonathan has hit the stage where it is traumatic to wash his blanket. i tried to sneak it from him, but he soon figured out where it was and was trying to pry it out of the dryer.


ate lots of bruschetta from our garden this month. yum!


did some backyard camping to make up for missing the ward campout. a fortuitously timed flight arrival by my mom meant that we didn't have to even think about attempting a night in a tent with three small children. i actually like camping, just not with three small children (and one smallest one in particular).
