Random August...

Here are some pic of random happenings from August.
Raspberry picking!
I love raspberries. I wanted to make some jam, but we didn't get enough to make jam and then we ended up eating them all within like 24 hours! :)
Ooop, sorry Ben, no head for you! :)



BBQ's with friends. :)

Play dates with friends. :) I had to get a picture of the babies laying on the ground when I noticed that Taylor is notably bigger than the other two. They are all within a few months of each other. These are just 3 of the like 17 babies that have been born in our ward in the past year! So fun!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Ben painted our kitchen while we were in Alabama in July! We came home to this beautiful painted kitchen! It looks so much better than the pasty white that was on the walls before. :) He always surprises me with things like this while I am away! I love it!

Oh, and another thing, our house is for sale! It is still a little weird for me, even. Since we're not sure where we're headed, we thought it was best to be mobile. People keep asking us if we're moving and we really just don't know at this point. We're just putting it out there to see what happens. I snapped this picture because it was still weird and a little sad to see this sign in the yard.

I seriously don't know how time goes by so fast! I swear August was just yesterday and already 3 months have gone by! I'm really just trying to enjoy it!

cousins...

Speaking of cousins. Here are some cute pics of the Campbell cousins.
Papa with all the kids: Keyton, Cassidy, Carter, Taylor & Tucker. (Can't wait for baby Viv to join them!) :)

Papa and the babies. :) Carter looks really comfortable. :)

Papa and my two babies... :)

Keyton spent the night here and Uncle Ben read them a story before bed. Keyton looks really happy to be here. :)

Cassidy & Taylor with their matching bows...

Carter and Tucker at the park...

Carter wanted to help me give Taylor a bath one night. Such a good helper! :)

Cousins are so much fun!

Maughans...

My cute cousins came in town in August and we headed up to my aunt and uncles house for some swimming one day.

My cute cousin, Lori and her daughter, Macy. Macy was 16 months and Taylor was 6 months in August, and notice that there isn't much of a size difference. :)

Lori has 4 super cute girls. The older three came out all dressed up in their princess outfits! :)

Me & the taters swimming. She loves the water. I love it! I was even dunking her under and she was having a great time!

kids...

Here are some random cute pictures of my kids. I may be biased, but are my kids the cutest, or what!? :)
The stinky lady. I love that bow on her head. Ben hates it. Her hair is now getting too long to put the little Caro syrup bow on it. Sad day!

Tucker has become obsessed with his clothes and what he wears.
This is a problem though, because THIS:

is what he wants to wear! I seriously don't know what I am going to do! It is not normal for a 4 year old to be so obsessed with his clothes is it? He changes his outfits like 7 times a day. And don't get me started about the tank tops. This was the summer of the tank top for Tucker. And then it lasted into the fall and now into the winter (under his warm clothes). I seriously don't know what I'm going to do with him! :)
Taylor loves her food, just like her mama! :)

Tucker went through a phase for a few weeks where every day after Ben put on his deodorant, Tucker would put it on. I didn't realize it for a while, until one day I walked into the bathroom to him just putting it on like it was part of his normal every day routine! :) This child cracks me up! I finally caught it on camera. Doesn't it look like he thinks that this is a total normal thing for him to be doing.





Love these two love bugs!

Enloe's visit...

I guess we had a lot of visitors in August! :) But we wouldn't have it any other way! The Enloe's (even though they only moved away in July) came back in August to visit. We can't take all the credit though, they really came to visit their family. :)
Tucker loved having Carter back for a while to play. Tucker had caught some frogs and of course, had fun with that.

We had Carter and Olivia over one night and Tucker and Carter both got stung by a wasp while outside playing. We didn't realize that a little wasps nest had started forming under our swing set. Tucker got stung on the leg, but poor Carter got stung like right under his eye! Poor kid! We laid him on our couch for a while with some ice and he was so sad.
{is it mean that I had to snap a picture because he was so cute!}

Within minutes, he was back to his cute self, smiling! :)

Once the bubbles were out, all thought of bee stings were forgotten!

Of course, no August with the Enloe's is complete without a trip to the lake! :)
Olivia LOVES baby Taylor! I LOVE that Taylor is already over half the size of Olivia! And she looked so funny holding her! :)

Tucker was a little traumatized during our family reunion outing to the lake. I was afraid he was going to be afraid of tubing behind a boat for the rest of his life. Luckily Tucker trusts Eric like his own family and we convinced him to give it another try because he loved it! It was so cute to watch his cute smile out there! :)

Will you guys just move back to Spokane already! We miss you so much!

Grandma's August visit

Because Kayla & Jason AND Allen & Kelli were in town, my mom came up for the week to visit. We crammed in as many fun things as we could while she was here! I am always exhausted after her visits! :)
Some reasons why we love it when grandma comes to town:

We get to see all of our cousins! And she takes us to fun places like Jump & Bounce!












She gets us matching outfits! :)


She has sleepovers with us on the trampoline!

{I wasn't sure it was going to last, but the next morning, this is what we woke up to!}


She changes our dirty diapers, and makes us laugh the whole time while doing it!




She gets us yummy treats ALL THE TIME!





{I seriously have to detox Tucker after grandma visits!}

She makes us really cute quilts!


She takes us to Mobius! One of our favorite places!











{once again, I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or Aunt Taraka.}



Cassidy found a great place to sit.

And of course, Taylor found the drums and LOVED it! She got all of her life's frustrations out! :)

The boys were so cute in the little 'Filipino village'; They made us some dinner and even cleaned up and did the dishes afterward! :)




And she takes us swimming! We are so lucky!

Cute Carter!

Stinky Tucker! :)

Bikini lady!





Thanks grandma for the wonderful time! We are so glad you came! :)
