This is a picture Amy took of me "dropping in"...not really...it is 100% staged...taken by myself. I'm too scared to drop in quite yet! give me some time...
Here it is fully assembled...minus a few screws...We (I) got tired of putting in a screw every few inches...I just wanted to try it out.
This thing was a beast...a lot of weight in wood...but Knocker and I were able to wrestle it out and into place...it fit perfectly next to the bike jump!
I brought Esther home during second service for her nap and hopped on Craigslist.com for a quick check of the freelist and VOILA at the very top of the list, the newest item...a halfpipe skateboard ramp!!! ...obviously...I got it!
The two happy ladies...if anyone knows of a tandem bicycle for sale (cheap) let us know...we (I) would love to have one so we can ride longer...Amy could pedal as she wants...gracias!
I found this picture on the video camera...I forgot that you can take stills on it as well...this one is great of the ladies!
This is Brock, he belongs to Knockers brother...he is a very beefy pit-bull...and he attacks the tree...
We didn't think Esthers melon looked big enough so we got her a helmet...it looks MASSIVE! She loved her bike ride though...laughing and kicking her feet the whole way!
So I rented "24" on a whim the other day...WE'RE ADDICTED!!! It is such a suspenseful show...feel like a need ridilin afterwards just to be able to do anything...and we got Knocker hooked too! As you can tell by the deer in headlights look.
Life's so hard, I've got bills to pay, meetings to attend, teeth to push through my gums, diapers to fill...I just don't know if I'll make it...wa wa waa
One of Esther's favorite lifetime poses...we call it "my diapers poopy and its running down my back"
We had Will and Chelsea Jones over for Monopoly Saturday night...guess by the picture who was out first... I ONLY GOT 3 PROPERTIES THE WHOLE GAME!!! ...sheesh...the women were conspiring against us men...
Esther and Amy watched from the sidelines as my team whooped the other at volleyball at the church pick-nick...we finally won after 2 losses...I hate loosing...
Mom and Grandman trying to hold Esther's attention with a book...Esther looks a little freaked out though!
Esther is very happy this morning...very very happy...as you can see from the screaming look on her face!
Supposedly Justin is not climbing stairs yet, but he sure can climb dishwashers...this was snapped just after he was standing no the door of the washer and grabbing onto the upper rack.
Our daughter is like a dog that begs for scraps...and Justin caught on. He would dump down Cheerio's onto the floor for her to eat.
Amy snagged this picture of me working on the big window in the boys room. It was good fun getting back to the woodworking, I really enjoyed it! Hopefully it was to the standards of the Kyke's!
A great picture of all the cousins together (but not all for long with the Wohld addittion). From left to right: Esther, Jared, Justin, and Jesse.
Amy, Esther and I had the pleasure of heading up to Centralia to help out BJ with some window work in his house. We also got to see all of the work going on with Steve and Jessica's new house! It's looking good!
Jesse is the one back on the picnic table with his shirt off...(impresseve..eh!) It was a good summer getting to know him. Pray for a good time back home...and growth in God!
I was trying to get them to put soap on it...and make the jump a bit bigger on the end...but I think they were scared...psh
Today was Jesses (a youth kid) going away party...he is from Nebraska and is heading back this week...so they threw a party with a big slip and slide and all!
I thought this was a good idea, Esthers foot in front, Amy's in the middle...not really, hers is the last one!
Again, this was a funny video moment, she was walking toward the water, then the water came to her, she lifted her foot to step toward it, then put that foot right back down behind her and giggled...it was so cute!
I think that Esther didn't understand how she would pick up sand then it would dissappear...maybe if I get a chance I will put a video on here of her trying to figure it out...it's hilarious!
This is looking south down the beach at Seaside. There was a HUGE volleyball tournement going on just north of us. Probably about 30 courts set up in the sand...and each one full!
Here we are walking toward the water, Esther did really well walking in the sand...it was funny watching her lift her foot out wondering how it was dissappearing and then reappearing...her face was in awe!
Speaking of walking...we figured we would get some practice in. We went about 40 feet then decided to pick her up because we were walking really really really slow!
I took Amy and Esther out for a little 2nd year anniversary day out...we went to Astoria and bummed around, then off to Seaside.
