Camera Flirt

Alex's new favorite piece of clothing is her new pink skirt. She has worn it two days in a row already and asked, as she was changing out of it into her pj's, if she could wear it again tomorrow. 3 days is pushing it, it'll probably wind up in the dirty clothes hamper. But you can be certain that as soon as it is clean again, she'll be showing everyone how it twirls when she spins around in a circle.

Frosting Fiend

We went to our nephew, Brayden's Birthday party the other day where of course everyone over 2 feet tall was served cake and ice cream. This is Johnny doing his best puppy dog look in hopes I would be kind enough to share mine with him. Now how can you turn that down? At first I gave him some cake, apparently that wasn't sweet enough for him.
He spit it out with a terrible look on his face as if I was feeding him spinach and continued to beg until he got a fork full of frosting. How he knew that there was something even better spread ontop of the cake, I do not know but he was quite persistant until all of the cake was gone.

Wallowa Lake Camping Trip

Near the end of August, we packed up the kids and drove 4 hours to Wallowa Lake campgrounds in Oregon. There we met up with Brian, Stefany and kids (Chris & Lizzy) as well as Jason, Tiffany and kids (Brayden, Logan & Ethan). Alex had a blast running around with her cousins, collecting pinecones and playing Jedi Knights.
Johnny just loved that he was aloud to eat dirt and play with rocks and sticks all weekend long.

Our Family

Uh Oh, Mom has the camera again!

Do these kids look confused? They're staring at me in confusion wondering what on earth it is I'm doing in an effort to get them to smile. I guess I was going a little overboard with my goofy faces and funny noises.

Check out this sweet picture of Alex. Now take a closer look as I zoom out for you...

You would never know how painful this photo session was by looking at the picture page though.
