Tractor Ride






Polk County Fair

The Polk Co. Fair was very nice this year, HOT but something wholesome to do as a family. Nothing interesting to say just some cute pictures.

Elly's first carnival ride



Elly, July

The first two pictures are of Ellys new smile, with a scrunched nose. Note how close the top teeth are from breaking through, the top left did break through about a week ago. Cutie Pies
7 months old

Dempsey, July

Here is Dempsey painting his first bird house. It was a gift from the Luke's for his 2nd birthday.
Dempsey wanted his tent up in his room so I agreed. He slept in it 3 nights.

an attempt

I know I should be better at posting, but I'm not. No excuses except laziness. So here's an attempt.
The children are doing Great. Elly is working really hard on crawling. She can get around so much faster doing the army crawl that being on all 4's is a little less effective. Dempsey is definitely in his "terrible 2's" through a fit every time he doesn't get his way. It's quiet tiring at times but we just let his cry it out; or in his words, "me cryin" and will stand there and cry for 5-10 minutes. Although he has his times he's a wonderful Big Brother and a very good boy. We have been potty training for the last 2 weeks and have only had a few accidents, most of them poops rather then pee. It sure is amazing to see how many diapers we were using, how much cheaper it is to potty train and why it couldn't have happened earlier.
I'll try to post pictures Sunday since we have a few events coming up. I'm going to wait to download the pictures then. 2 birthday parties and Elly was in a cute baby contest Thursday, won Most Dazzling Eyes.
Stay tuned...
