Stormy is 3 years old!

Stormy enjoyed a “birthday cake” of tuna flavored cat food with treats on top. He also got two crickets, however, he did not catch them. The kids sang him happy birthday.

     

Look what I can do!

Eve figured out how to pull herself up. She was so proud of herself!

Playing around on a Monday afternoon

Nate is fishing.

 

Ellie is showing off her sparkly teeth. She had just gone to the dentist and got a great report.

 

Eve playing dress up. I am not sure she enjoyed the feather boa we put on her but it looked super cute when she was crawling with it flowing around her.

Last Pool Party of the Season

 

Today it was 111 degrees so we had one last pool party. Since the nights have been cooler, the pool was a great temperature instead of feeling like bath water.

Eve is 11 months old!!

Eve loves her kitty!! He actually seems to like her too.

 

Eve was trying to put the headband on her head (she must have seen Ellie putting it on) but she missed and ended up with it around her neck.

 

Eve has also decided that in order to get things to where she wants them, she has to put them in her mouth and then crawl. It makes me think of a cat carrying her kittens in her mouth.

 

Watching a “Praise Baby” movie. Even the older kids still like them.

Pictures from the last week

Gorgeous sunset!

Nate built this castle and then took this picture of it.

Eve looks like she is coming out of the floor.

 

Playing school. We had computer lab, math, language arts, and playtime.

Nate is pressure washing his Jeep. Just like his Daddy, he enjoyed the high-powered water gun.

Labor Day Camping

Taking a hike with buckets to find flowers. We came back with a horny toad, rocks, and dirt.

 

We later hiked out to “the point.” It was a beautiful view but a lot nerve-wracking because we had a lot of small children with us and there was a large drop off. This hike we took along a frog (found at the camp site), and found a horny toad, small lizard (Ellie named it Lizzie), and snake along the way that we, of course, had to bring back to camp with us.

Miren and Eve playing in the play area. It worked out great for keeping the crawlers out of the dirt. The older kids also thought it was fun and would often be found playing in the cage even if the babies weren’t in there.

Nate convinced a lot of the girls to blow bubbles for him so he could dance around and pop them. They were so kind to do that for him.

 

Campfire!

 

Woods Canyon Lake. We took a little hike and threw rocks in the water. After our hike we had ice cream.

Rainbow!

  

Hanging out.

 

Making bracelets with Mrs. Kraker. Miren and Eve were fascinated by each other.

Carson and Nate smashing rocks to see what is inside them. It was very fun listening to their excitement about each rock.
