The other day I was browsing pictures on the computer and I found some that I never posted. So here they are. Some are from a month or so ago and some are more recent.
1. This is a student wife whose husband just graduated and she looks exactly like my sister, Becky. I had to get a picture with her at one of our functions.
2. More brotherly snuggly love.
3. I love a baby in a camo hat and pajamas. :)
4. One of about 20 attempts at a Mother's Day picture. Oh, I love my boys!
5. Last-minute camping at a posh RV park in Bend. It was Memorial Day weekend and by the time we made the decision to go it was too late to make reservations at an actual campground. But the RV park wasn't so bad. Only bad thing was no fires at each site (there was one big community bonfire kind of far away) so we did s'mores on the Coleman stove.
6. Emmett loves to not have pants on. He does have undies on, though!
7. I ran a 5K (only my second since Reid... I know... I'm slow at gearing back up) at 5,000 feet elevation with hills in the 50 degree drizzling rain and actually improved my time by 3 minutes! I was very proud of myself, seeing as how when I started my goal was to improve my time and then halfway through I changed my goal to "just finish without walking!" Haha! Then when I finished I saw that my good friend Alexis's almost whole family pretty much dominated the whole 5K! They were in the paper and everything. Her 11-year-old got first place, her 9-year-old got third, her husband got 4th, and Alexis got 9th and was the first woman to finish (and she just had her fourth baby three months ago)!! Wow!! They are amazing! I was 36th, for the record, and the 11th woman to finish. Haha! Alexis pointed this out the next day to make me feel better. :) Just kidding... I felt really great about my time and was in awe of my very fit friends! It was really fun!
In the second picture I was almost to the finish line and trying hard not to bust my bum coming down a slippery hill. It was a very pretty run through the woods, even with the rain.
8. Playing with Daddy on the couch on a lazy weekend morning.
Daddy can fix anything!
9. I tried to take some posed shots of the boys outside. Many, many outtakes and then the one good one has Emmett with a creepy look! :) And I was just praying that J would keep hold of Reid so he didn't fall off the table!
10. More posed picture attempts on the couch the other day when the boys were all wearing the matching shirts Aunt Becky bought for them. I wasn't able to get any with all three boys looking and all eyes open. These were the best. And I seriously had like 10 pictures just like #2 with J and E's eyes closed! Grrr!
11. I guess that little balance bike was really good for Emmett... We bought him this new bike for his birthday a few weeks ago and after maybe 4 days of riding with training wheels Phil took them off and E has been a bike-riding maniac just like J ever since. It was kind of amazing to see how great his balance was right off the bat from that little bike that he cruised around on forever.
Sorry about the frustration with Reid at the end. Reid had unknowingly pushed his 4-wheeler into Emmett's path when E wasn't paying attention. Sigh. Emmett's daily frustration with Reid is so frustrating for me, too!
12. And speaking of Reid... he is so, so fearless. When we went camping in Bend the other weekend we visited the awesome public pool there. Reid kept climbing in and out of the pool and was completely walking/diving off the edge of the step whenever he would get back in. Luckily Phil was there to save him in the water and I was on the shore keeping track of him. It was crazy! He actually loved going underneath the water. You can see J and E having an absolute blast in the background of this video. That pool is so great!
