once again these pictures got loaded in reverse order, so look at them from bottom to top if you want them in chronological order. augers update: he is growing like a weed! he is 9.5 months old now and wearing 18 month clothes. he is a crazy fast crawler and he cruizes around everthing he can hold onto. he is getting tan and his hair is bleaching out. we feed him just about everthing now, and just recently he decided that he no longer wants two naps.
thomas is just working away. everything seems to be going pretty well on the farm. thomas is also getting tan ha ha but his hair does not bleach out at all lol. i, on the other hand, am getting my nice red glow for the summer. i have been working in the garden lots and spending as much time as i can with drew and ariel while they are here.
these are the best of my pictures for the last month. . .

last night drew, ariel, rick, and jolyn all came over for dinner and to help us rip out our giant stump in the middle of the driveway. rick brought his chain saw and thomas brought the tractor. after lots of digging and cutting and pulling, they finally ripped it out.
drew drove the tractor for a bit :)

this is the final product

they ripped it in half before it came out

auger loves the tractor

auger is still working on figuring out how to drink from a cup

he loves drew and ariel. . . and he really wanted those strawberries

our visit to seattle . . .

royal sunsets . .

he loves strawberries

could you resist this ?????

This last weekend we had an awesome time in utah. We drove down thursday night and spent friday, saturday, sunday, and part of monday with my extended family. my uncle jason let us stay at his house. we went to lagoon, jump on it, and the park in lindon. thanks to vikki and her family for planning an awesome reunion!

auger has been starting to figure things out now that he can get wherever he wants. it's getting tiring trying to follow him around and keep him from tearing things apart.

he knows how to turn on the water in the bath tub . . .

the mosquitoes attacked him when we went outside. i felt so bad the next day when his eye was all swollen

he climbed into his toy basket once. that was all it took, now he doesn't do it anymore

he also figured out how to turn the light on and off in the dryer. .

he was pretty proud of it :)

auger is the happiest kid alive but man he is getting to be a handful. he climbs on everything, eats everything, and is a very very fast crawler now.
