Still alive!

I has been over a month since I last posted (sigh) I promise to be better someday...

Caleb has had so many fun learning experiences since we have been back in Provo, and he is getting more enjoyable every day! We have recently switched to cloth diapering, and he has since seen the purpose of the toilet a little more. He is now fascinated with flushing and closing the lid with an enthusiastic "BYE BYE" as either something or nothing goes down. Here are a few shots of him in action... if only we could get him to actually sit on the toilet and go potty it would be every better!

I think he is just waiting for me to tell him to put it down and get out of the bathroom in this one...

Happy I'm not making him leave... and probably weirded out that I am taking pictures of him in the bathroom!

Here is how he checks to see if there is anything that needs flushing... and even if there is nothing he will flush it repeatedly.

He's good about putting the seat down! :) Then as he pulls the handle he says "BYE BYE".....boys...

LAST post from Washington... until next May that is!

This is the last one until we get back to good old Provo on Tuesday. We have loved every minute of being here in Washington this summer and are going to miss it SO much for the next eight months. The good news is that Nathan was made a good offer this week by his boss, and we will for sure be coming back in May for permanent, for GOOD! We are super excited to know we have somewhere to live after graduation and that a good job will be awaiting Nathan! Until then we will miss everyone up here. No worries we will be back for Christmas and hopefully will see everyone at least once before then! Thanks for a great summer Seattle and everyone here who has made it so awesome! We love you and can't wait to get back!

P.s. I think I should start selling tacky postcards with pretty images and ugly writing on them like this... What do you think? :D 

Short videos from Jetty Island

Caleb and Lauren had so much fun splashing in the water puddle on the beach. The got SUPER dirty, but had a great time!

Here is Caleb wobbling around the beach. He is like a little T-Rex dinosaur with how he holds his arms when he is walking.

More wobbly, but cute as can be. Caleb walking on the beach.

Jordan building his cool fort.

The kids playing

Just another video. This one is funny. Hopefully Jordan doesn't get mad at me for putting this one up! He was working awfully hard on his fort thingy.

Crawling in the water is hard work. He was awfully tired after just a few minutes.

Jordan hiding in his cool house.

The sand castle ring that Jordan made and then Caleb tried to destroy.

Walking out to the water. Every once in a while Caleb would get tired of falling over in the sand and decided to crawl...,but then it would bother his hands I think so he eventually would stand back up and walk some more.

Digging away.

Building castles together. Caleb sat in that whole for almost an hour and would NOT get out! He loved digging!

Lauren posing

Playing in the puddle of water...a.k.a. mud was so much fun!

Jetty Island

The kids playing in the sand at the beach.... Jetty Island is the only all sand beach around. It is SO nice!

Picnic before heading over to the island on the ferry. Caleb was just walking around everyone checking out what they were eating.

Learning to walk on the beach is hard work!

So dirty, but SO fun

More Jetty Island Fun!

Jordan built a fun beach house!

Lauren flying her Dora towel "kite" Caleb thought it was pretty fun!


Cute backsides :) Caleb had gotten tired and was all cleaned up and ready to go by this point.

We went to Canada a few weekends ago and I forgot to post pictures. We had lot's of fun! here are a few of the place we went...

The look down from the suspension bridge we walked across.
