July Pics


More pictures and updates to come...here are some random, recent pictures. Have LOTS to add from Aunt Karen and Uncle Jasper's visit, 18th(ish) month photoshoot, and videos!
Mommy's shoes are SO much more fun to put on...and way easier since they are bigger!

Ah...but we ditched those so that we can completely pounce on the kitty walking our way!

More fun with Mommy's shoes!

Ah, my little Cheerio thief (excuse me, "Crispy Oats" thief). She even moved this booster chair to 2 rooms away from the kitchen, took the cereal out of the cabinet (and then out of the box) and plopped herself down in her chair to get comfy so she could enjoy her snack. Huh!

Spaghetti Silliness
Allow me to set the scene: we just returned from a trip to the pool...it's over 100 degrees out, EJ needs a bath before bed plus we still need to eat dinner, so why bother with clothes? Ah...that was only part of the fun for her...next came the spaghetti and Mommy's tickles, too!
Note: spaghetti already in her hair (right side) and on her chest...

If you zoom in, you'll see spaghetti now hanging from her head, being thrown out from her hands, and all over the table, dish and highchair tray. What you can't see is the floor.

Here she's delighted with her mess-making abilities....

So Mommy decides that TICKLES are needed for a silly child!!!

And, as most of you know, my kiddo likes to squeeze things really hard when she gets intense, so she's squeezing Mommy's hand out of silliness....

And continues with even HARDER squeezing. Can you tell Mommy is kind of used to it in this pic?

My Not-So-Much Garden
This is pretty much my one and only production this year in the garden...and not cucumberS, just A SINGLE CUCUMBER...from a "volunteer" seed from last year. None of the seeds and now not even the additional plants I bought are working this summer. :( So sad...I've cared for this garden far better than last year's, and literally this year have only 1 cucumber and a few beans (below) that ended up being way too tough to even eat. So sad. When will the heat end?
