It's been a LONG time!

Everything is going very well in our lives - we just had to redo our whole computer, and took a few weeks to transfer everything back over from the external hard drive. We just now got Picasa loaded again, so we are back in business with the blog! These pictures all came from our adventures in August.

This picture is Johnny going to the potty (something he's doing regularly now - hallelujah!), but for a few days he insisted that he take THIS book in with him to read. The ironic part is that the book is called "How to behave so your child will too!" I wonder if he has any pointers for me, because John certainly knows how to be a challenge these days. He runs FAR away and has no problem with it - but Mommy does! Obedience? Hmmm... when I ask him to organize the shoes (which is his daily job) he either says "I can't!" or "I don't want to" and walks off. Any ideas?

But, in the next minute he has us laughing so hard as his antics and cute little body. He's such a grownup in a 3-year-old, beer-bellied body!
Our friend, Jami, chaperoned this Trampoline Party in our backyard and the kids loved it! They tried it in the spring, and Grant was the only one to last all night, but they ALL survived this time. Jami brought some friends over and they watched a movie beginning around midnight, but by then the kids were ASLEEP! Thanks, Jami, for a great time, and for allowing me to sleep in my own bed!
This is a small water park that's just 10 minutes from our house. We took an afternoon and went with Daddy and had a great time! Grant's favorite part was this dumping bucket. I had to agree. The anticipation of when it will come is so fun! The pressure almost knocks off your swimsuit! Look at Grant's face!
We went hiking over some boulders and near a waterfall up in Maryland with our friends, the Huish's. It was more of a 'hike' than Ithought it would be but Grant sure liked it, and John and I pulled up the back most of the time, holding hands so "mommy wouldn't fall".
