Cuddles

One of James' favorite new games is playing "baby". We wrap him up and give him a pacifier sp? and cuddle him like a baby. On this day he was playing baby by laying down in the girls' boppy. We decided to let him cuddle his "own" baby. It was too cute. He kept his "I'm a tough boy" poker face on, but we weren't deceived. :)

Can anyone tell me why blogspot turns my photos some of the time??!! Grrr--well you get the idea.

Carrying the girls kangaroo style!

I've been experimenting with ways to carry the girls around while I try to get stuff done. This is me with my homemade Moby wrap. The girls absolutely love it and fall right asleep. It's not so bad while they're still under 10 pounds. :) It's just a bit warm for the summer time, so I only can use it indoors.

Clark County Fair

Hum, James I'm not sure it's a wise idea to pet vampire bunnies.

James goes for a ride on a "big eyed" cow.

Doesn't look like he's going anywhere fast!

slugger

Ok, for some reason this photo comes up sideways even though it's right otherwise. But it was too cute not to up it on the blog. Looks like Clara is getting her revenge for all the times Kate kicked her in the head while they were on the inside! I don't think she actually slugged Kate . . . But who knows! :)

Blessing day!

The girls received their blessings on Sunday July 27th. Justin did a wonderful job and the girls behaved perfectly. Grandma Sarah made the gorgeous blessing gowns. It was a beautiful day.

Trip to the cabin

Justin, Jessica, James, and one of the girls at the Cedar Flats

While Michele (Grandma Hughes) was here we got to visit my family's cabin. We hiked Cedar flats, Lava casts, Ape Caves, & the Lewis River trail. I decided I can never go hiking with any fewer than 4 people. One person to each child and one person for the back pack! The last picture is of James with his handy-dandy dust pan. He spent hours "cleaning" the cabin with this. :)

Grandma Hughes comes to visit!

Grandma Hughes does the Baby Bijorn

Grandma Hughes got to spent one wonderful week with us. We did our best to show her a good time. James was quick to corner her for reading stories. (I mean really quick--she had only been here an hour!) The girls enjoyed lots of snuggling time. By the time she left she was a pro baby bijorn-er!
