Crazy Love Gamble-Style

Here's a bunch of phone photos over the last few weeks...  They love Trader Joe's, find the monkey, get a sucker.  I keep 2 monkeys with me at all times...  Always dressing up.  Running with friends.  Love them, Sunday mornings on the waterfront are the best!  Jessica and Dhati came kayaking with us recently, that was Jessica's first time and our first time meeting Dhati, he was great!  Sisters, always playing something...  Or reading.  The queen, a role they fight over.  She dressed herself in this, love it.  Emalynn, love her!!  Homemade ice cream I wanted to eat but couldn't.  Fun at our family float up at Scott & Vivienne's  The first round of tomatoes  This girl has been staying up until past midnight reading several nights as of late.  How ever will she adjust back to the school schedule??  Love that she loves reading so much though....

 Random phone photo catch up, also known as speed blogging for the total slacker (me).   Book worm.  Love that.  She lost another tooth!  Sweetness.  Caramel Apples with Lauren.  : )  Fun day with Alayah celebrating D'Auna's birthday.   Love this shot.   Ava got to go to the farm with Sam & Malia.  Cute!  Norah's little bestie Audrey.  They make me happy.    Worn out.  Life is fun.    Bagel date with this weirdo.  Winco is pretty relaxing.  She's cute.  Church ladies.  Love our Sundays together.  My bestie. More to come, so much catching up to do...  : )

These two.   So funny. Summer has come to an end so we are starting to  frequent all the indoor play places we've been avoiding  due to the weather being far too nice.   We hit OMSI last week and we may just go there again  tomorrow.   Norah was so fascinated by these balls floating in the air.  She ran around like a crazy person going from one  thing to the next.  I love how well she plays now.  Although the drinking fountain always keeps one  of the biggest pulls on kids, it's hard to get them to  go play with the real toys they think it's so fun & WET.  We still haven't gotten Norah off the bottle. Can't say we have tried too hard yet.  She is a total addict to the thing.  She only gets one or two  a day but I know I need to end it soon.   Just not a real big fan of her head spinning around. Also?  I sort of want ...

I'm thinking a bunch of random photos?   Why not?  I feel behind. If you are looking for Norah these days I suggest looking under the furniture.  Crawling backwards apparently means you end up under things. She is desperate to get her grubby paws on this cat. When she does pet him it is in a grabbing,  attacking, shoving his body in her mouth sort of way.  He loves it, he is very strange. Here is Norah under the bed. John actually asked me  "Did you put Norah under the bed??" Seriously??  Here is John & Ava on their daddy & daughter day. He took her to her first movie in the theater Lion King, she loved it. Then he took her out to lunch at her favorite spot, Red Robin, then the park to top it off. Great fun, love that they do this sort of thing!  These are some random shots I took in my room  Sometimes I read my camera manual in bed, I thought trying the shots out while...
