the rest of august in pictures

well, the good news is, most of my pictures from august were in mccall or boise, which i already did a separate post for. other than that, we mostly just hung out at home or the pool. here are the few pictures i did take: 

madeleine lost her fourth tooth and now has a nifty little window in the front of her mouth.

 

diane still likes to fall asleep in amusing ways:
 

jonathan was running around like a pirate, but wouldn't hold still long enough for a clear picture: 

 

this was a saturday morning after getting a few things at a garage sale. jonathan loved the lifejacket i bought, and wouldn't take it off, and the kids were locked in the bathroom with the lights out (this one doesn't have a window, so it gets nice and dark) to try out the lightbright i also got. obviously, i had to turn the light on for the picture.

that's it!

mccall 2014

my posts always have lots of pictures, but i tend to take a lot of pictures in mccall, so prepare yourself.

my niece, calli, choreographed a dance for the little girls to do, so here they are practicing:

here's the actual dance:

jonathan saw randy and carsten out on the dock (which was a ways out) and wanted to join them, so he started swimming all on his own. he would have made it, but they came in to him a little.

i don't remember what jonathan was sad about, but calli was comforting him and it was really cute.

the one picture of me from the whole trip:

randy ran off the end of the dock and jumped in and jonathan ran right after him and looked like he was going to do it, too, but stopped right at the end.

all of the peck great grandchildren that were there:

getting some ice cream at ice cream alley:

after a week up in mccall, we ended up staying an extra week in boise. we did some swimming at randy's grandparent's neighborhood pool, which was great.

and spent lots of time with cousins. the kids were pretty goofy during these pictures.

randy did some repairs on his parents sprinkler system:

sno-cones:

and walking around the foothills learning center:

we had a great couple weeks in idaho and loved the time we got with family.
