Lil J

Lil' J and his bestie

Playing on Dad's sculpture

He has been dying to climb this tree...with a little help

Getting a little cooler outside, and test driving some lovely hand-me-downs

Watching a video on the computer- old school sesame street

Here we are 2 or 3 days into fall!
We have harvested our sunflowers.
This year J and I chose not to save very many sunflowers.
In years past, we have saved the seeds in gallon ziplock bags...we downsized.

Harvesting the sunflowers is fun for the whole family!

Dad hard at work!

Jaysop was REAL interested in "Washie's Toes"

Until next year!!

The day we took the sunflowers down

Lil' J and I played in the yard while Dad did all the work. This is usually how thing go down at our house.

We like to watch Dad do the work, and he likes to do the work.

Who is that good lookin' guy?

Nice arm...

(I have to say I was pretty proud I was able to get this shot. I love our camera and did not want it broken)

This was the small pile.

We thought they were just as pretty like this. I know...we are so weird.

So we needed to catch up...

Jason and I ate on this while we updated the blog...okay I mostly ate it and posted to the blog. It is sticky rice and mangos from my good friend BO! We love you!

We got a new computer, and have been playing outside until late in the evening-posting was the last thing on our mind lately. Sorry! Thanks for taking the time to look!

Urban Camping

We decided to "test the water" camping before we went off in the deep dark woods. We camped in our backyard...in downtown Fayetteville. Ha. My two light sleepers barely slept at all. Jason later told me only the homeless "urban camp." We will not pretend we are homeless again. The whole family took a long nap (not long enough) the next day. Yes, we will be going soon to the deep dark woods to for real camp. This is a little scary to me.

Passed out

Our huge sunflower!

When you camp with an artist...you make art.

Long exposure+active toddler=devil looking child

Urban Hiking

Keith and I took a hike at Lake Fayetteville one night. Jason was playing basketball with his man group. We had a great time hiking in the woods on a random Monday night. Just to let you know I carried the babe on my back the whole hike (notice one picture my sweat head). Little J said "Hi" to every person that walked by. For those of you that know him well, this will be no surprise. For those that don't-his first word was "Hi", and he used it a lot. a lot. He is friendly.
