The water table

Grandma and Grandpa got Jeff a water and sand table for his birthday. We decided no sand this year since we're pretty sure that he would eat it not play with it. So we decided, water only for this year at least. Jeff loved playing in the water!

Messy boy....

 He LOVES that Rice A Roni!

Whidbey Island

We went to my sorority Executive Council retreat up on Whidbey Island back in August. Jason caught some salmon, Jeff had a great time in Reggie's swimming pool and his new wagon and I had a great time hanging with the girls. We had absolutely amazing weather, it was the perfect day.

Trying to walk

Little man is doing his best to walk. He loves pushing around his lion. He pushes it back and forth. Sometimes he chases the dogs with it and they run!

Jamming

We had planned on getting our pickles done in mid-August. Unfortunately, the cucumber crop had other plans for us. I had already arranged for Wendy, Troy and Michael to help us so we made jam instead.

Michael had all kinds of country adventures. He got to go to the Dell's in Yelm and Mountain Lumber, a couple more things to check off the bucket list!

We got quite a bit done, it was a very productive day.

Meeting Emily and Nathan

Our friends Art and Lisa adopted 2 kids last year. We have been trying to get together forever so the kids could meet. Jeff and Emily got along famously. Nathan is older and I think he was over the whole baby thing. Plus, Jeff kept knocking down his train tracks. We told him this was part of the reason we called him Jeffzilla.

July 2011

Catching up.....Little man is quite a nut. He loves getting into everything - the kitchen cupboards, the magnets on the fridge, the toilet water, the dog's water....

And he likes to eat, some of it even makes it into his mouth!

And his relationship with the dogs has improved exponentially now that he throws food off of high chair on a daily basis.

He loves his toys.

And boy is he cute!

Makenzie's 1st Birthday Party

We went to Makenzie's 1st birthday party at the end of July. Makenzie and Jeff are 11 days apart in age. Makenzie was 6 weeks early though so there's a pretty big size difference.

There were cupcakes galore.

Makenzie thought they were delicious.

Jeff thinks I'm a jungle gym.
