Jasper Goes Bowling

On August 16th Jasper finally got to cash in his Special Helper Rockets and take us all bowling! He's been waiting forever to do this and we were able to make it happen on one of the hottest days. Yah air conditioning!

I'm pretty sure he chose bowling because of this shirt:

It says, "lil bowler" on it and he loves it. Months ago, when I pulled the shirt out of the bin for him to wear, he decided he wanted to try bowling. So he'd been earning the rockets to make it happen.

Panties and manties.

Mid Summer Memories

Happy, cooing, getting bigger and rounder, smiley Berg

A fun, wet trip to Mt. Rainier with a stop at a cool playground for lunch with Grandma, Grandpa and cousins in the bus.

The cute, gnome hike at Paradise with elf trees and faerie flowers.

The portable Berg shelter and Bubba chanting, "WAH-DER-FALL! WAH -DER-FALL!"

Berg's first bath. He's had only showers until now. His first bath at 3 mos. with his big sisters in the big tub.

Kivi's Hair Cut

Kivi had been begging to get her hair cut. She really dislikes having her long hair brushed, and she wanted to give her hair away to a little kid who didn't have any. So, on July 28th, we headed over to Club Biella, a high end salon in N. Tacoma, to get her beautiful blond hair chopped off. I chose this salon because there was an awesome $40.00 gift certificate online and a kid's cut was only $32.00! We brought the whole family to witness the event and then found out, it's not really a place for kids. Oh well. They were stuck with us. The kids did great. Kivi got special attention and a super cute cut!

Last time with long hair!

Goodbye beautiful hair. It was a little sad, I must admit. I loved her long, straight, baby soft blond head.

But now, we love it short and easy to deal with! So Locks of Love, here comes 12 more inches of hair.
