Hay Time!


It's that time again! Time to haul hay and load it up into the loft of the barn.

The only fun thing about hay time is that it takes place at the barn where there are all sorts of fun things for boys to do.

Like taking your first bite EVER of a hamburger:

Seeing tractors up close and sitting on them:





and going for horse rides:





the end.

My Sunday Boys


Jasper and Jackson got some new Sunday clothes.



They match, and are the cutest pair at church.



Notice the sticker on Jackson's forehead - I love to leave it on and see how long it will stay.

Usually it makes it until we're home a few minutes, its then wrestled off by Jasper.

CHEESE!

Back To School


Jasper started 6th grade this year.

6th GRADE!

Time is just going by way too fast.


He is growing so big - he is now taller than me. I'm only 5'4'', but just last month he was still shorter. And he is also wearing a size 11 mens shoe.

I think he's gonna be tall.






p.s. I think David did a good job school shopping for him.

This means he gets to do it next year as well!

Olympic Camping - THE END

Saturday afternoon we said our goodbyes.

We miss you already!



One more night of camping - Jackson took it like a champ.



We need to do this more often.



We drove the rest of the way on Sunday, which was day 7.

7 days of camping, over 2000 miles driven. I was glad to be home.

Olympic Camping - Part IV

We left Kalaloch on Friday, and then stayed at the Cole's home in a Seattle suburb that night.

We were excited to be able to spend more time with them. Saturday morning we went to a nearby lake and put the canoes and kayaks to use.



Jackson had just about had it at this point.


Megan with Staci, Lindsay with Becky.

Mmmmm.... COOKIE!


Earlier this year I went to Target with Jasper. While there he found this hat and begged me to buy it for him.


I said no, so he bought it with his own money. I thought, he was crazy - who would want to wear that?

But when his 14 year old cousin saw the hat a few days later, and she said "tight hat," I knew I must be out of the fashion loop.

Now I see Sesame Street fashion everywhere! Mostly on Jr. High aged kids, as they walk around acting cool with their skate boards. I don't get this new trend.

Jasper now owns this:

His friend owns this:

Maybe I should buy myself and David these?
