August and September Highlights

We have had the great blessing of having my little sister live with us this year. She has been a wonderful help with the kids and things around the house that I just didn't have the time to do being gone 12 hours a day for work. These first two pictures are of Bubs and Grandpa Campbell getting reacquainted when he dropped Taylor off.

Unfortunately, Daddy and Grandpa got sick so they spent a lot of time on the couches and in the beds.

Gabs has developed a new favorite activity. She goes in the kitchen and gets our hot pads to wear on her body. Then she calls herself the cooking girl.

We also went to a Japanese drumming concert at an outdoor theater. The best part, it was completely free. The worst part, Mommy's allergies were terrible and it was really, really loud.

Noah discovered watermelon. We had to watch him very carefully because he wanted to eat the green part.

Another fun place we found was a drive-in movie. We had so much fun getting dinner and treats for the movie. Daddy got to relive some favorite childhood memories.

And when we couldn't make it out to the drive-in, we had a redbox party on the floor.

Bubs discovered this lawn mower we bought for Gabs a few years ago. He was so cute pushing it around. He definitely needs a little more practice with it.

And this is what their relationship is like. Bubs is a huge teaser. He will come and sit beside Gabs even though he know she doesn't want him to. He'll crawl over top of her to get to Mommy or Daddy. He'll grab a toy she just barely had, but not because he wants it, simply because she had it.

They definitely keep us on our toes.
