August 2011

It was spaghetti night :)

Delaney has been enjoying the door jumper.



And since this chickadee has been crawling, she's been all over the place.  She can pull herself up on the stairs (thank goodness there's only two) but she can't sit down from this position.

This is a small sampling of her crawling





Last week we had a very warm week and we went to enjoy the park at dusk.  Aaron was supposed to be playing with his soccer ball but she played with his soccer ball...

And he played with her blocks. :)

I also got some endof the season hummingbird shots.  This was right before all the flowers fell off the plant.


This was a few weeks ago.  It was getting so warm out we had to get some relief.  We visited our local pool.  When it gets so warm out, it gets even hotter inside.

Aaron also got into some trouble in August.


One of the weekends in August we went up to Washington to hang out.  I was shooting a wedding with a friend near Olympia so we went up for the whole weekend.  I was contacted by one of our church planters in Tumwater to come take some shots of their new coffee shop.  This is what Aaron and Daddy did while I was working.


Lately I've felt like I can trust Aaron to behave in my room watching TV while I take a shower.  Well, not this day... he just happened to find some nail polish...


This has been a common scene in our house as of late.  It's usually Delaney just taking all the books off the shelf, but Aaron likes to sit there and read.  I like it when he does that because then Delaney tends to look at the books as well.  Look at that hair.  No, this is NOT an action shot.



Just last weekend we decided to venture out on the boat so Chuck could check out some hunting areas.  The ORIGINAL plan was for me and Delaney to tool around town, catch some coffee, and some St. Louis Bread Co. (sorry, Panera to all you non-Missourians) and do whatever else.  But really, how much was she actually going to let me do without pitching a fit.  I'd end up back home with her taking a nap and me doing what a ALWAYS do during the week, only sans Aaron.  So we decided to tag along.

This picture is taken after we pulled off to check out the boat because it was taking on water and check out another area over a dike.  Well, come to find out, there was a hole in the boat.  A rivet had popped off/got worn off and water was spewing into the boat at a rather unsettling pace.  So we loaded up and headed back to the boat ramp.  Notice Delaney all splattered with brown??  Well, Skeet, being the smart dog that she is, jumped off the muddy dike while practically landing ON Delaney, pushing us off the dike and leaving poor Copper behind.  A day in the life...

Here the kids are gobbling up Cheerios. And at the boat ramp we found tons of blackberries.  Yummy!!!!  And we received confirmation that Skeet will indeed throw herself off a cliff (literally) to fetch something.



Chuck and Aaron thought they'd have a little fun.

AH!! We jumped in the boat so QUICKLY that and I hadn't even had a chance to feed her!! It was after noon already and I was searching and searching for a spoon. Brought plenty of food, NO FRICKIN' SPOON!!! And I wanted to get a picture of her on her first boat ride. We were moving at a snail's pace. No worries!! It was right at my feet, just hadn't put it on again yet.
