No Pictures.....

Sorry it's been so long since the last post, but I'm horrible at grabbing the camera for snapshots. So, I thought I'd put up a few cute things that Aniston has told us.....she's quite full of it so I'll limit them.

*Aniston was eating a yogurt and asked what flavor it was, I told her blackberry and she replied "you mean pink berry?"

*She was getting ready to spend the night at Nana's house and would also get to see Grammy Rose and Gram Wilma...she says "I sure do have a lot of Grammy's!"

*Driving to daycare one more she says "Are there a lot of cars mom?", "yes Honey" I say and she replies "WELL THEN YOU BETTER BE PAYING ATTENTION!" Gotta love the little backseat drivers!

*Aniston and Auntie Steph were watching Mamma Mia for about the 10th time that day and singing along to the songs. Aniston asked Steph if she liked a particular song they were singing to. Steph said yes and Aniston replies "Well, IT'S MINE!"

We have been very busy this summer. Erik finished school a few weeks ago....YAHOO! Now were just waiting to get the dipolma in the mail and then we'll have a big party. Now that school's done, he's finishing up some projects are the house. I'm hoping the paint in the living room will be finished this week and HOPING the floors will go down in the next few. It's so nice to have daddy/hubby home in the evenings. Aniston LOVES that he's home when we get there and they can PUUUULLAAAAY as she says it. Auntie Lysha came home last weekend for the first time in SIX months and we all loved it. She brought home her boyfriend and we all went to see Nickelback at the Gorge. It was a FABULOUS concert. Next weekend Uncle Dan is coming up from Vancouver and Aniston is already talking about it.

I will try to take a few pictures of her in the next few days and get them up. She changes on a daily basis and doesn't look like she did in the Neah Bay pictures.

"Aniston's Swimming!"....

Last night Aniston BEGGED me to have her nighttime bottle while laying in our bed watching "toons". So I relented and told her to go lay down in mommy's bed while I got her bottle ready. Well, apparently I forgot to drain the tub in our bathroom after her bath (about 15 minutes prior) and this is what I found when I took her bottle into her.


Yes, this is Aniston sitting in the bathtub while IN her clean jammies. Apparently she decided she wasn't done with her bath and she needed another one. I burst out laughing and her response was "Aniston's swimming!"


She got a little upset when she stood up and realized that her jammies were now wet.

Neah Bay.....

Every year my dad's side of the family heads up to Neah Bay for week of fishing, camping and relaxing. This was Aniston's first year to go....last time she went, I was 4 weeks preggo with her. My mom and Howard had gone up a few weeks prior and left their fifth wheel so we were lucky enough to stay there. Aniston got to catch her first fish and spent most of her days outside playing with her friends.

First day out in grandpa's boat.

I asked her how old she was...her reponse was "dos".

Don't you just love the boots?! She wore them all week.

Makah Marina.

She thought the boat was pretty cool.

These were two of the HUGE fishing boats. The one on the left is from Hawaii and the one on the right is from San Francisco.

Boring picture...except for Aniston's face. Grandpa's hat is off and Uncle C's is backwards....we must have been going "fast".

Seal Rock.

Aniston and Daddy.

Aniston loved driving with Grandpa.

She was quite the skipper.

Outside their grocery/everything store....Aniston spent about $25 over the 7 days riding their quarter toys.


She was trying to convince me it was time to head outside. I think the other campers weren't so keen to the idea as it was around 7:00 am.

PUUUUUUULEEEASE?!

Erik's two big fish. Note the gauze on his left thumb. He almost left it at the cleaning dock...his thumb that is.

These two are now smoked and sitting in the freezer.

The only fogging, cold day there....we spent at the beach. It was too foggy for the boys to go fishing.

Too cute.

Uncle C's walking stick.

Her first sand dollar.

We had a blast. If only it wasn't an eight hour drive each way.....we'd be there more than once a year. Until next year Neah Bay.

"Baby Rene'"........

Aniston is going through a phase where she is calling me Rene'. She knows it gets a rise out of daddy. She is also playing "mommy" to her babies a lot and wants me to be the baby when we're playing. So....she's now refering to me as "Baby Rene'". It's pretty cute.


Getting baby all ready for her bottle and nap.
Doing her Pilates while baby naps.

Shaking the bottle.

Patting her mouth dry.

Fourth of July.....

This 4th of July weekend we spent at home....with the central air conditioner! Uncle Dan came up from Vancouver and Uncle C came down from Leavenworth to visit. We did lots of lounging, BBQing and swimming.
Uncle C, Daddy, Aniston and Uncle Dan.

Daddy and Uncle C being wonderful influences and showing Aniston you can pop the "pop-its" by throwing them on people!!

Aniston and Uncle Dan. Like the matching sunglasses?

Watching Uncle C light ants on fire. BOYS!

Daddy and his little girl.


Chocolate face....apparently she likes peanut butter brownies as much as her daddy does.


Daddy's "Bin Laden" firework. It's was quite noisy and it blew the little head off.

We had a great extended weekend. Aniston LOVES her uncles and it was so nice to be able to spend the weekend together. Now if only Uncle Dan would move a little closer.....
