Misc August

It took one lesson before Alex decided to join Carter with Gymnastics Lessons.

He is doing a great job!!!

It only took two lessons before Carter climbed to the top of the rope.

I didn't get it all on video because I really didn't think he would climb that high!

He did.... And then he did it again.

I found it extremely nerve racking!!!!!

My kids are always wanting to play in the rain.

It just happened to storm while playing at the park,

so we just went with it.

Poor Hallie and Nadya!!!!  They  are always begging to go out 

during a down pour and they missed the fun!

I can't remember where they were, but they weren't with us.

Unfortunately, we received a little too much rain and part of our basement flooded!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!

Hallie's room took the brunt of it and we had to completely empty it out!

We ripped the carpet out and plan to tile it.

Hallie is excited about that and is temporarily occupying the toy room.

The tile is picked out and we've decided on the pattern.

After getting a few bids, we've decided to attempt it ourselves.

Doug went fishing with Tracey and Shel and took Carter along.

Carter caught the biggest fish of all!

Way to go Carter!!!!!!!

Doug's company work party was at Lagoon this year!

My parents and Kris, John and Laurence came along.

We camped at the Lagoon Campground and got very little sleep!

I don't have a single picture of Nadya.

She spent most of her day  riding rides with Aunt Misty and Uncle Aaron.

We spent August trying to soak up as much sun as possible.

We have really enjoyed our water park passes!!!!

Doug redid the layout of the shower in the bathroom downstairs.

I was so excited with how it turned out.

It really opened up the small space and the hallway appears much larger than before!

I can't believe a tiny, one foot wall makes such a difference!

Alex tagged along with Doug to get supplies at Lowe's and came home looking like this...

Sometimes it's all about being at the right place at the right time!

He made his very own little locker.

Carter was so jealous!!!!

This was just too cute to pass by-

All three of them watching T.V.
