The wait- August

Lydia loves to dance.  She is so interested in the art of ballet.
Happy.  She just got her new outfit from Grandma and Papa

In the month of August we got to see lots of Ben.  It was good because for most of September he was gone.  Eli loves his dad.  I would say that he is a daddy's boy.  He walks around the house saying, Da Da.  August was the month of waiting for that job that we were blessed with in September.  Ben is dark from landscaping. 


Ben's old cap.


He used to point his little finger like that a lot.


The Climbing kid.  He can climb on about any chair and even gets on the table.  When the toilet seat is down he can climb on the toilet and stand on that. We just keep the bathroom door closed. 


We went swimming a  lot in August.  Ben was able to go with us.  We had some fun family times. We went in the snake river.  There was also a rope swing that Ben and I would take turns watching the kids and jumping.   The first couple of times we went, Eli would sit and float there all reclined. He soon was not happy with just sitting.  He wanted to swim.  Both kids love the water.





Eli's birthday.  It was a crazy day because we went travelling to Rexburg that day.  He didn't quite understand the candle thing.  



He loved the cookies.  He wasn't sure what he should do with the clothes. But we appreciated them. He looks so cute in them too.  More pictures to come .







A walk down memory lane- July




Yeah he has got a big mouth and no I didn't let him keep it after I took the picture.

Love the chin.  He has certainly walked that off in the last few months.

Cousins can't live without them.

Ride that buckin'... Zebra

Cute girls

This is an expression of their personalities.  

At  the end of July we were able to make a trip up to Ben's beloved Montana. What a fun trip to get reacquainted with grandparents and the beauties of the earth.
 Beautiful  cabin.  Loved to spend time there.  

Of course take time in the boat.

Lydia liked climbing the bunk beds in the cabin.


Swimming in Flathead lake.

Lydia modeling the read swmimming suit.  I believe it once belonged to Lindsey.

 Cousin Aubrey.

Eli and Grandpa sure had a fun water time.

 I thought this was so adorable.  Cousin Bryn with all her rocks.

Boat rides. Ready or not.

Blast From the Past. JUNE

Love his big brown eyes

Lydia Dressing up!! She does this all the time.  This particular time she had a stash of clothes in her basket for later.

We went to a friends house and tried on my wedding dress that I had borrowed from her.  Lydia talks about weddings and getting married.  She loves princess and pretty dresses.


He has changed so much.  Here is my little baby.  His coat was so cute on him.
