Fall leaves

way too many pictures, but you have to admit it's beautiful up here

Fun times with my relatives!

Great Grandma Putman and Great Aunt Joyce met us in Ellensburg for lunch.
It was a pretty good restaurant (mmm blue cheese)

Grandpa Fred and Grandma Dot flew from Albuquerque and spent a week.
My parents always enjoy spending time with them.

What a lovely morning

(I didn't fall for it though... the "cuddle him so he falls back asleep" trick)

Mommy & Daddy attempting water sports (Daddy was much more successful - he actually slalomed).

Splish splash... me 'n' Ducky. Good times.

My dentist told me to always brush my teeth!

I take after my Daddy; I snuck some dough before Mom could stop me!

Is this what the hole in the bib is for?

Friends

This is Sahara, she's 14 months, I'm 8 months in this pic.

This is Lilly, she's 3 and is kind enough to keep me entertained.

Toys, Books & Dogs

Mommy gave me this tub of toys, and I thought I'd spread them all out to see which one I wanted to play with.

I love the monkey book. I love all books. I even help turn the pages (every time).

There is my favorite doggy, Scruffy. He was Mommy's dog since she was in 6th grade. Mommy adopted him when we moved to WA. Sadly, he is no more =( We miss Scruffy.

Check out our new floors!

These hard woods were original with the house (only covered by carpeting and needed refinishing).

In the additions, there was only light-weight concrete floor, so Daddy has been laying Slate tile.
