At the Park

Charlie really likes to go to the park. I try to take him once or twice a week. This time I brought the camera. His favorite thing to play on are slides. Sometimes he jumps from the top step here...it always scares me but he has yet to hurt himself.

After the slide this is his favorite part of this play system.

This park also has a fun water area for him to play in. He runs around the outside of the water like a crazy man until he decides just what part of the water he wants to play in.

And this is usually the part of the water he likes the best. They do have water guns that work on a swivel...which he really likes, but there were a lot of kids there this day and he did not like to stand in line waiting for the water guns.

Charlie & Jacob

Here is a video of Charlie and Jacob playing with Shadow. It is in the morning so Charlie is still in his pajamas. In this video Charlie is perfectly happy and good...however maybe next time I will post one of him crying and having a fit...I think that happens just as often!

Grammy Lynn Visit

My Grammy came down to visit! Most of the time that she was here I could not find the camera, but we did find it and I managed to get a few good pictures.

This is him showing my grammy his lightening book. Ever sense we had the lightening storms he is really interested. We recorded a National Geographic show on lightening and we bought him a book. He has his favorite picture and he kept showing it to Grammy Lynn...who acted way more interested than I did as she has only seen it 20 time now!

Here they are are outside looking at something.
One more time outside right before she left...this is my favorite picture.
And for the second post in a row, here is something about somebody other than Charlie!
I have started canning. I have only done a few things but I am excited when they turn out. On the right you can see the pears that I did earlier and on the left is the applesauce that I did the other day. I think it looks pretty to have the food in the jars rather than the store bought cans.

Summer Time

We take Charlie down to the river all the time, and most of the time I forget to take the camera. These were from a couple of weeks ago.

I think that his smile might be a little crooked when I see this picture...oh well, he is still the cutest kid I know!

And just because this is supposed to be about our family I thought I would post this picture. Jacob hunts like mad up here and he shot a bear yesterday. Now we have to process all of the meat. We are making sausage and hamburger and a few roasts.
