Just sharing some pictures from our last week in Boise (until the end of August). We hung out at the mall a few times, and as you'll notice from the pictures we have another baby who does not enjoy sitting still in the stroller. We always have to wear Emmett in the baby carrier when we go places like this. It works out okay, though - since my purse is usually so huge it can ride in Emmett's seat.
On yet another scorching day we went to the local reservoir to play in the *
freezing* water. Lucky for me, Phil sat in the freezing water with Jackson while I sat under a shady tree enjoying the breeze with Emmett. Those Canadian geese were everywhere around the lake and very tame.
Jackson has started attempting to make a "cheese" face. We've been trying everything to get him to smile at the camera - with little success. Sometimes he will say cheese and scrunch up his face like this, though. And for the record, he did have a swimsuit on... I took this picture right before we left to go home. He was in the process of being changed into dry clothes. :)
Right before we left Boise we went out to eat with some friends at Red Robin. YUM! They have great burgers, and since it's such a kid-friendly restaurant it makes for a very relaxed dining experience for Mom and Dad. You can barely hear our kids when/if they start to fuss because it's already noisy in there. Jackson had mac and cheese with broccoli and
wolfed it down. I love how the bib is clearly doing its job in these pictures.
Another "cheese" face...
And back home, after a painful 8-hour drive through the middle of nowhere, Emmett got to enjoy some time in his jumpy seat. He is so smiley all the time! That's quite the double chin, don't you think?
And finally, here's Jackson enjoying his pool in the backyard. All the water we experienced over in Boise has made him love pools and water of any kind, or any temperature. Our water out of the hose is
really cold, but he sure loved soaking himself with it! I took way too many pictures of this, but he was so cute that I couldn't resist. You can click on any of the pictures to see them bigger - his facial expressions in some of them are priceless!
Oh, and just for the record - Phil and I did absolutely nothing to make our garden grow like it did. We basically haven't touched it (aside from weeding a tiny bit) since we planted the veggies back in May. We must have really good soil. I didn't want anyone thinking that it was our gardening skill that caused the plants to explode like that. :)

Hi Heather! Glad you got some good shopping time in! Red Robin IS great! We took the boys there for their birthday lunch and we had a great time...the waitresses came out with two ice cream sundaes and sang and the boys were just so confused! They were more concerned about getting a balloon than even touching their ice cream....can't wait to see you all soon....
