Generic updates for August and September

So I have put a few "more important" posts on here the last few postings, but I haven't put any "just cuz" posts on here in a while, so I figured I would update that. Warning picture overload! 

So let's get the ball rolling. 

August

Here is our beautiful baby girl.  We think so anyway

In August while in Tacoma we stopped off at a Spray Park and let the kids have some fun.  The water was freezing, but they didn't mind too much.

Jared, Ally and a little friend that Jared made.  He makes friends everywhere he goes.

This girl cracks us up.  She WAS feeding herself her bottle by just using her feet until I pulled the camera out.  She is so funny.

I don't think I've mentioned it before but Allyson INSISTS on wearing a "pretty" (meaning a dress) everyday.  She then accessorizes to some what match the "pretty."  How I ended up with such a girly girl I don't know.  She is such a Diva it's funny.

August 23rd Carys Crawls!  OH NO!!!  She started and within a few days her crawl turned more into a mad dash on her hands and knees.  She is so stinkin' fast!

Carys also finally has 2 tiny little teeth sticking out on the bottom.  They have finally broken through.  They happened the same week that she started crawling.  Our baby is getting so big!

September started with my Parents coming here and going to the Parade and Fair with us. 

Here is Jared modeling one of Aaron's hats the morning of the Parade.

I thought it looked better this way!  ha ha

Both kids modeling Aaron's hats.

All 4 grand kids wearing their "Vote for Nana" Shirts.

This is the back of the shirts.

As you can read Aaron's Mom is running for Fire Commissioner.

Jared playing in the Hay maze with hay in his hair.

Carys was such a trooper.  She just sat and watched.  Little did we know she was working on getting pretty sick.  She ended up with Pink eye, a nasty cold with ended in a double ear infection.  Poor girly.

Holding onto my Dads finger.

Ally really wanted to ride the roller coaster.  I went with her for a number of reasons.  First she is too little to ride alone.  Secondly I didn't want to send her alone anyway.  Third I didn't know if she would like it once it got going. 

I think her facial expressions tell you what she thought!

She thought it was the best thing ever!

As soon as it stopped she said "Again!"

Moving on
A little over a week ago I decided to buy Allyson some scissors.  She kept bugging Jared about his so I thought we might be able to try some with her even though she is younger then Jared was when he got his pair. 

Our crazy little lefty did pretty well with her scissors, though this was the last time that the necklace she was wearing was a necklace and not a string of beads.  Oh well, at least it wasn't hair or skin right.

Yes this is our chubby completely naked 10 month old.  If you click on the picture to make it bigger you can see her bottom teeth.  All the pictures look better if you click on them.  Does anyone know what is up with that? 

Our 2 year old Ham!

Jared is turning into a boy instead of our little peanut.  I can't believe he will be 5 in November.

Jared has had 6 days of school now and is really enjoying it.  He has 9 other kids in his class and says that all of them are his friends.  I hope that they all continue to get along well and that he gets more and more comfortable with his new schedule.

Here he is in his favorite shirt and his new back pack.  He LOVES firetrucks right now and the color red. 

Carys has more personality then any other baby I have ever met.  She is a crack up.  She loves it when Jared and Allyson play with her.  She insists on being where they are at all times, but then also loves her quite time and is a very content baby.  She is great.
Yes that is a paint brush she is sucking on, and NO it was not used before.
