More pickles

I found these pictures on the camera today, Mike took them so I really don't know what was going on. He looks pretty unimpressed about those pickles though.

Oh look, there's dad

wait, that looks a little more like a boy who's excited about pickles

this one just says "mmmm.... pickles!!"

and when did my kiddo start looking so grown up???

Corn!

We had some corn on the cob tonight for dinner from a local roadside stand.  I gave Anna some of the other food we were having but she kept screaming and reaching for me so I jokingly offered her my corn.  She got all excited and started taking bites out of it.  I started off helping her...

Then she took over and did it herself...

and did a pretty good job of it!

After seeing my pictures, my mom sent me this one of me and my father when I was about the same age (1977)

playing around

We changed the crib into a toddler bed so that we can use it as a reading area. I hung an old curtain from the ceiling so it's like a little tent. The kids love it, we snuggle in there to read and they like to bounce around and play on it.


this one's a little blurry, but so cute :)

Josh started out posing for the camera, but things got a little out of hand....

a better view of the whole thing

nice one kiddo....

playing on the deck

The kids had fun playing on the deck after the rain

mmm... golf clubs!

Look at all the pudge! Love it!!

random pics...

Anna has a new trick and she's really proud of it. Everytime mommy turns around, she crawls into the kitchen and climbs up Josh's step stool. I've tried turning it backwards and putting it against the counter, but she pushes it into the middle of the room, then climbs up...




helping mommy do the dishes

Really excited because she saw the kitty

Josh and Mike made their first batch of pickles last week.  We tried them already and they are REALLY good!  :)

(don't turn up the volume too much, Josh yells in the middle of this...)
