"Haahnnghg"

Basically I just really like this picture. And I accidentally captured Ayla saying "Hunter" but in her special way. It's adorable. :)

Tony Grove

We went to my favorite place on earth at the end of July. Here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure. I'm sad I didn't get any of our campsite. :( It was fun to have the Van Dusen's with us, and Joshua's brother too! Should have got a picture of the three of us squished in a little two-man tent.

 We hiked to the white pine lake

And Leanna and I after doing the Sprint Triathlon at the Lake. We so hard core!!

Foil Boats

Check out our sweet foil boats. They did awesomely on the river! Mine was more beautiful but less fast at first, then Josh's boat somehow went under and mine got ahead...

Can't remember who won in the end. We'll just say it was a seminary tie!!

 Josh's boat is ahead here...

 Josh rescuing his boat.

Tessa Nearly Crawling

Check out Tessa go! I can hardly believe it. She just barely got up on all fours for the first time 6 days ago and now she is basically crawling! She doesn't turn 5 months for another 9 days. I just had to share because she is blowing my mind.

Love my sweet girl! :)

Ayla Spies With Her Little Eyes

Ayla Frequently points to teeny tiny icons on my computer and recognizes family members pictures. It seriously amazes me. Today she was pointing at the screen... "Beh-et! Beh-et!" And sure enough there is Bennett & Cooper sitting on Jason's lap. But it didn't stop there. Later she points and says "Gampa! Gampa!"  ...

I had a hard time finding Grandpa's picture so picked her up and asked her to show me... 

Sure enough, there he is.

Vera and Annie

My girls loved playing with Annie and Eden tonight. It is so fun having the Van Dusens here!

DATH

Ayla wanted to take a "dath".... and since she was already mostly naked I let her. I had just finished dressing Vera, however, so I opted to have her sit this one out. I started cleaning our bathroom while Ayla played in the bath and Vera stood next to the tub trying to steal Ayla's toys. Next thing I know Ayla starts yelling "FALL OFF! FALL OFF!" I turn around and there's Vera, socks and all, having a ball in the tub. Ugghh. And of course my good camera is in Evan's car today.
