August

Trying to catch up some more.....

Here are some random pictures from August! Myles bought me a Perfect Brownie Pan, so we had to try it out. I think the kids liked the decorating part more than I did, but it was all fun and tasty. :)




For Jack's birthday, Grandma and Grandpa P. got him the Girraffalaff Limbo game. He didn't really play the game much at all, but he loved the music and laughing!

Myles didn't get many pictures this year at the Scouts in the Outfield Cub Scout campout, but here are a few.




The kids didn't get much sleep, so they were wiped out the next day.



Some baby leggings I made for our little one. :) I don't remember if I mentioned it yet here on the blog, but we are having another BOY! His name is Josiah, and we will call him Little Jo. :)

This is his entire collection! The fancy / cute prints are BabyLegs, a few are left over from when Jack was a baby, and the rest are homemade.

One of my baby trees was burned up! Literally! It was so hot for several weeks, and if I went for two days in a row without watering them or my garden, it would all wither up. :(


All tuckered out!

I've been wanting to get some pics of one or more of the kids in the air. It was getting dark, but I think they turned out cool.



I finally did a little mini photo session with Jayla. These are some of my faves. We didn't bother brushing her hair, so it's a more "natural" look. :) I still want to do more, and I need to get some of the boys too.






Some okra from our garden! YUM!

We had several EARLY morning park days, starting at 6 or shortly after, so we could beat the heat. It was actually really fun, and the kids used up lots of energy and were perfect angels the rest of the day! :)







We finally went to the Train Museum! It was loads of fun!


Jacob has been trying to convince us he doesn't like trains anymore, but he was ALL over the trains!





Jayla was selected to be in the Nutcracker Ballet!!!!! Here she was stretching before the auditions.

She was so ready for it. I'm so proud that she was the most modestly dressed one there, however, she was asked to take her skirt off (because it was TOO long). When the teacher saw that she was about to break down in tears, she told her she could keep it on. I thought for sure she wouldn't be chosen after that, but she was! I'm so proud of her for not going against her convictions!
