Demetri at Lover's Point. A pretty nice beach as far as the beaches here go :) The kids had tons of fun exploring! |
 |
Teddy on our field trip to the Art Museum...okay, so this is outside of the museum. |
 |
We had a temple trip this month. Babysitting was provided at the stake center there. The kids now LOVE the Oakland temple and ask when we can go back; they had a tour of the grounds (even went on top of the temple!) and visitor's center. |
 |
Demetri is now my picture guy. He loves being in them, taking them, videos of everything...and I must say, some of his stuff doesn't turn out half bad! |
 |
| After the temple we went out to eat. A group wanted to give the kids these homemade cupcakes left from their huge birthday party. My kids were only to happy to comply, and we sang happy birthday to Olie several times. He even got a candle in his ice cream. They loved it :) |

| A Tie-dye shirt from his Pitcher Grandparents |
 |
| Writing (tracing) thank-you letters...which he actually likes to do. We've been writing a lot of letters this month! |
 |
| The new bunk bed, which all of the children like and which has been the cause of several mishaps (usually while doing something they weren't supposed to like jumping off of it). There is now a "no playing in the bedroom" rule...which works sometimes. |
 |
| Shawn and Demetri made this fort out of Lincoln Logs. I now have about 15 videos of it, and Demetri completely freaked out when anyone came near it because he didn't want it knocked down. |

As I was looking through my sister's blog, I noticed that mine lacks any visuals of any kind. So, taking a cue from her, I actually relearned how to put pictures on my blog. This is August in a nutshell. I don't take a lot of pictures, but we try. Maybe I'll be a little more diligent about getting them posted!
