It's the end of August already! This month we enjoyed gardening, swimming, camping, boating, canning, working on projects and fruit! Ben is getting more and more used to standing, I'm afraid he might walk before I'm ready.
I'm torn between wanting it to cool down and be fall and having it hold out a little longer for summer. We still have some things on our bucket list so hopefully a few more weeks of warm!
 |
| Picking apples. Craigslist frequently has people who offer for free their fruit from their trees. |
 |
| These turned into pie filling and applesauce. |
 |
| The last of the pear harvest |
 |
| Getting caught |

 |
| Street dance in Eagle point. |
 |
| Looks like King Benjamin |
 |
| The new growth from the wisteria mom bought |
 |
| Our garden. It has pumpkins, watermelon, cantelope, peppers, tomatoes, kale, corn and zucchini. Unfortunately the corn didn't do so well. I think we planted everything too close |
 |
| First time growing cantelope |
 |
| Making a mess |
 |
| No personal space |
 |
| I always find him like this. |
 |

 |
| On the jet boat ride for Jamirs work. It was really fun and it had a lot of cool history of the rouge valley |
 |
| We were the youngest there |
 |
| I was worried Ben would cry, but he just slept and then calmly Sat on my lap. He's the best |
 |

 |
| On the way to camp at Joseph Stewart park. The running stroller had to be tied on the back |
 |
| First time camping! We went with our ward. I was worried he would wake people up but he didn't cry at all. He likes to sleep next to us. I kept feeling his nose at night to see if he was cold but he was fine |
 |
| In the morning. We went for a beautiful run on a trail and then has yummy food with the ward |
 |
| A little nature walk after breakfast |
 |
| Relaxing |

| Beautiful sunset |
 |
| Both chickens are laying. It almost makes up for them eating my tomatoes, flowers and everything |
 |
| Ben loved this. |
 |
| Only he can really pull this off. |
