And let's not forget the presents.
Phil took a job with Overstock.com and starts Dec. 1. 
I dressed him up to go see Phil at work, but he pouted the whole time...until I took him out of the costume, then he felt much better.
For those of you that are interested, I peeled, cored and sliced about 12 apples (mixed variety). Put them in a crockpot with about 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar and sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. I let them cook for about 2 hours and then mashed with a potato masher. That's it!
The finished product. It's quite tasty and makes your house smell so good.
I also love pumpkin anything. This is a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins I just pulled out of the oven. Is your mouth watering yet? I found the recipe online here.
Anyone have any suggestions for a new project? 
Wade slept through the entire movie! I wish we would have known that beforehand, because we probably would have picked a better movie. This one was not great.
But we sure love that our baby is such a sweetheart!
This is for Wade's Grandmas who don't get to see him very often.
We think it's so funny that he won't budge for anything but food.
While they were here we saw a Nationals ball game, the Air & Space museum, the Washington Monument, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving (where they print $$$), Mount Vernon, the Capitol, the Natural History museum, the White House and the Lincoln monument....phew. Quite a bit for 2 babies and a 6 year old. Ammon said his favorite parts of the trip were the ball game and all the MarioKart he played on the Wii. 
Besides the flooding we had Saturday from hurricane Hannah, I think everyone had a great week. Thanks for coming out Em, can't wait to see you again in 3 months!
Wade really liked getting to know his Uncle Airmarcus.
Halfway through the summer, he married Amy and brought her out to Virginia.
Is anyone else out there a little ticked at the scoring when it comes to women's gymnastics? I have been so perturbed watching this week. First off, with the individual vault...how do you still get a medal IN THE OLYMPICS when you fall on your landing? Oh yeah, that girl was from China, so she had to get a medal. And then, with the uneven bars, you get the EXACT same score but China once again beats out the USA with no explanation??? And come on, who actually thinks those Chinese girls are 16? Does anyone else feel this way?
Wade also turned 7 months old. He has been sitting up on his own for a few weeks now and loves the freedom to play with his toys. 
We have had so much fun hanging out with family this summer. Wade loves it when his Uncle Mark makes him laugh.
Phil loved the ocean, but it was a little too cold for me.
Wade was lucky enough to stay with his Grandma Broadbent while we were gone. I love being a mom, but it was sure nice to have a short break. 
Today my grandma (Wade's Great-Grandma) came into town and we got to show her around Washington D.C. We had a great time going to all the monuments...it's just too bad it was so hot (at least 96!!). Wade was a trooper in the heat and hardly complained. We also got to go visit Phil's office on our way home. He had fun showing his son off to everyone at work.Wade also recently turned 6 months old. I am happy to report that his growth has slowed slightly and he is only in the 75% for height and weight now. So happy half-birthday Wade!
