week 36 in pictures

sunday:2011-09-04    monday was our actual anniversary, but we went out on sunday afternoon/evening. ever since I was a kid, and would cross the 520 bridge, I would always look down in the water by the arboretum and see people paddling around in canoes. it looked like so much fun and I’ve always wanted to do it, so we did! honestly, it was totally as great as I had imagined it would be, maybe even better! not outrageously exciting, but still, SO fun. we will definitely do this again. after that, we headed over to varlamo’s for dinner and finished of the evening w/ some starbucks and a stroll around u village.

monday:2011-09-05    it was labor day, and dave didn’t have to work, so he and shane went fishing with our neighbor, chuck. shane was SUPER excited to go (big truck hauling a big boat, putting big boat in the water, driving big boat, fishing, putting big boat back on trailer and hauling it home behind big truck… you get the idea. doesn’t get much more shane than that.). dave was pretty excited too, even though he’d never fished before. they wound up catching 5 salmon; 4 pink and 1 coho, and were back by 1. amy, adam, and finnigan came over for dinner and dave grilled the coho. sound-to-plate in around 6 hours. how’s that for fresh dinner! we had a great time and a great dinner.

tuesday:2011-09-06    this is the way I’m putting this pic in the book (because it’s oriented vertically), so I’ll just post it here like that.

wednesday:005     that’s shane with our neighbor, chuck. chuck’s wife, terry, recently got this spider 3 wheeled ‘motorcycle’ and shane thinks it’s the greatest thing ever.

thursday:137     several of my raspberry bushes are STILL producing! look at all those green ones! it’s not enough to do anything with, at this point, but it’s a great little treat for me when I go out to water the garden. I have no idea why these aren’t done like the rest of the bushes, but I’m not complaining!

friday:136     you know how, when your kids are babies, you take a million pictures of them sleeping? and then you stop. probably because they start doing more interesting stuff that you can take pictures of… this just struck me as so cute, so I had to take a picture. poor guy had had a little fever the day before and a little bit in the night, too. still, so cute!

saturday:2011-09-10     saturday was the start of soccer season! that’s all I have to say about that, since I already posted everything there is to post about it.

the end.

    I thought I had already commented but apparently not...
    Joe and I went on a paddle boat when we went to Catalina Island before we were "official". It was so much fun! There is just something about little boats I think. I should mention that we ran into a fairly large yacht. Awkward!

project life–week 3

nothing too exciting here: and yes, that is a picture of project life! I find myself taking pictures of things I would have found very weird a few months ago, but when you have the ‘daily life’ thing in mind, and stuff your grandchildren might enjoy seeing, it puts a different perspective on things. the latter half of the week: I LOVE wednesday’s picture… layla walking home from the bus. we do this EVERY day, and this is what it looks like now. I’ll have to remember to take one in the spring, and again next fall. I also have one of the pull-out double size journaling cards, which I used to tell the story of layla’s new bedding, which used to be mine. and that’s week 3.

vacation–day 2 (tuesday, august 10)

okay, no offense to gramma and papa, but this was THE DAY that we had all been looking MOST forward to. tuesday brought the arrival of the illdaps!!!! it had been SO long since we’d seen them, and even longer since shane and layla had. layla was just beside herself with excitement to get to play with lily again! of course, as soon as they arrived, everyone went straight into the pool! daredevil lily: hannah (banana): shane, air mattress surfing: jacob and micah checking out the little pool – not sure what was so funny… dave chilling and micah ‘driving’: gramma jackie and matthew: I think dave and I squeezed a trip to in-n-out fur lunch that day too! mmmm… double-double w/ grilled onions! later that evening, we took a walk to the park. long-lost cousins, reuinited: gramma helping micah and jacob make it dig: come on, uncle joe, it’s my turn!

it just keeps getting better...

so obviously, from my earlier post, the dinner-making portion of my day was a little less than spectacular.  oh, that was just the beginning. dave worked late today. after dinner, i ran a bath for the younger 2 and in the process of getting them from the dining room to the bathroom, micah knocked the container of cheerios off the table and they dumped ALL OVER the floor.  i scooped up what i could and threw it back in the container, then, mindful that the water was still running in the tub and i didn't want to flood the bathroom, i herded the kids into the bathroom and dumped them into the tub. i went back into the dining room and proceeded to sweep up the mound of cheerios that was left on the floor, all the while keeping an ear open for both voices and giggles in the bathroom (as long as you can hear them, their heads are above water, right?).  that took all of about 2 minutes. i looked in on them (both happy as could be) and discovered that both of my younger...

and today i...

...found two cereal containers (tupperware knock-off type) and their lids which have been floating around the garage for a year now. i brought them in and they are currently in the dishwasher so we can actually use them for our endless supply of life and cheerios. 2 more things out of the garage... (or 4 if you want to count the lids!) woo hoo!

micah's first word.

are you ready for it? "this" not very profound, i know. but he goes around pointing to stuff going, "this?" and then he'll point to something else and go,"this?" it's pretty cute. (and yes mary, reminiscent of lily. we're working on 'that'.) ... i'm taking shane to the doctor today. he's been having some random bouts of feeling like he's goint to throw up. he never does, but it's usually been at night and i'm getting tired. today's the first day he's felt bad during the day, but he was awake for a couple hours last night and today he said he wanted to go to the doctor and find out what's wrong with him. so we're going. ... i don't know if i ever mentioned that we finally got layla's doctor to refer us to an allergist. YAY! so now we've been in the holding pattern of trying to make an appointment and being unable to because they don't have all the info they need from her doctor...
