Auntie Sarah's Visit

Auntie Sarah came back to visit us for about 10 days since she had training in Scottsdale. Mama & Jacob drove up nearly everyday to have lunch with her & we got to spend lots of quality time together on the 2 weekends she was here.



Auntie Sarah reading Jacob one of his favorite books "Me & My Daddy"

Future Laker fan (the hat fits now Libby!)

uh, am I not supposed to shred this and leave it all over the house???

Thanks Auntie Sarah for the new bike! I love it! Mama tied a string to it so I can be pulled all around the house :)

Goin Swimmin

Mario, Sonja, & Clayton came over for a swim in the pool today. The boys had lots of fun playing in the wading pool, splashing each other & climbing in & out dozens of times!

The weather has started cooling down, so the pool is getting much colder. So this is probably our last dip in the pool until next summer.

Unfortunately, forgot to take pics of the boys in the pool...

Visit to Arizona Museum for the Youth

Here are some pictures from a recent visit to the AZ Museum for the Youth with the AP group. Jacob had a great time playing in the many interactive exhibits!



Jacob loved walking through the plastic strips, we spent at least 20 minutes doing this!

Tribute to Great-Grandpa Milt

This past week Great-Grandpa Milt (Papa Chuck's daddy) passed away, so we travelled to CA for the services. We enjoyed the few years we had to spend time with him & will miss him.

Even though it was for sad circumstances, it was nice visiting with relatives we usually only see once or twice a year.

Jacob & Clayton

Our good friends Mario, Sonja, & Clayton came over for a visit on Labor Day! We shared a yummy meal, great conversation, & a fun time watching the boys play and chase each other. We were hoping to be able to go swimming too, but ran out of time.

Happy Birthday to Clayton, who turns one on Sunday :)

Books, Books, Books....

Coper loves to read sitting in your lap, especially daddy's! His favorite book is Marvin K. Mooney will you please go now, as well as many others. So glad that our little guy already has a love for reading :)
