Tractor Fun

Earlier this week when Gary went to pick Evan up from Jeanne's house, he was riding this tractor. Gary snapped these pictures with his spiffy iphone. :)

Garfield Bay

I finally remembered to take the camera out of the bag yesterday when we went to Garfield Bay. Evan loves the water and it's kind of sad that summer will be over too soon.

Sleep in Bed...Why?

Lately Evan has been having a very hard time staying in bed for his naps...

He'll get up and play for awhile and then fall asleep on the floor.

Or he will get up and not fall asleep and then fall asleep during dinner.

I'm tired of the battle all afternoon, so today I told him he could "rest" on the couch while he watched a movie. It worked like a charm. Right now he's completely zonked out on the couch. I don't really care where he takes his nap, I just want him to take a nap so he'll be pleasant the rest of the day, thus making me more pleasant. :)

Buddy

Here is the reason Evan has dog on the brain. :)

Buddy loved getting in the little swimming pool. Notice all the water coming off his tail? :) I thought that was a cool shot.

I'm not sure how many times Gary through the ball for Buddy, but it was a lot!

For the most part, Evan was content to just watch Buddy from the deck.

Big Shoes

The other day Evan was trying on Gary's shoes. He wore them around the house for quite a while. He couldn't move very fast, but he had a great time.

Huckleberry Jam

I'm glad you can start with huckleberries from this state. I don't really care for picking them!

A little bit of leftovers.

The tools. :)

Final Product. All the lids already popped, so they have sealed successfully!

Now they just need to sit for 24 hours.

Play Day with Dimitri

Yesterday Dimitri, Janie and Grandma M. came over to play. The main thing Evan and Dimitri did was play in the little pool in the backyard. It was extremely entertaining to watch these two play together. They really haven't spent a lot of time together, but they are best of buds. I still think it's so cool that they are only 6 weeks apart and I hope they will be great friends forever.

The look on Evan's face says it all...a good time was had by all.

Just getting used to the water.

Dimitri running through the sprinkler.

Just plain cute!

Dimitri caught in mid flight.

Time to just chill out.

I don't know that Dimitri stepped in or out of the pool once. I think he leaped and jumped every time. It was hilarious. (Sorry about the incessant clicking noise...it's the hippity-hop sprinkler.)
