Pretty self-explanatory, but they're just so cute!

Salsa
Ingredients from our garden.
Our new canning system
The finished product!
The taste test.
The results
Its actually really good, I just thought that was a funny picture. Jeremy ate a whole jar in one sitting...which actually might not make it cost effective to make our own, but it was a fun thing to do together.

Grandpa Leo
We stopped in Ione on our way home from the Fair to see Jeremy's Grandpa Leo. He had never met Tucker, and Jeremy's uncle loaned us a chain saw for a project at our house. Grandpa seemed to be in good spirits and was moving around very well. It was a nice visit.
Oregon State Fair
For our Labor Day weekend adventure, we were invited to go to the Oregon State Fair with some of Jeremy's family. We started off by heading to Vancouver to spend the night with Glenna, Jeremy's sister, and her family. Maeli loved cousin Kaitlyn's room.
Tucker had an ear infection and had all kinds of the yuckies, but he still thought Grandpa Dan was pretty fun.
First step: Fair food--ice cream! Tucker was feeling pretty yucky at this point.
We were all excited to partake of the fair food.
Jeremy got hypnotized, as did Glenna, and was totally out and snuggling with his new best friend. The guy didn't make him do anything too crazy, but he did a nice "Lord of the Dance" and "The twist."
Maeli wasn't tall enough to ride on any of the rides, but she did win a (stuffed) snake!
We convinced the guy at this ride to let Maeli try even though she was actually too short. You had to climb a rope latter and then cross a little bridge to a slide that spit you out into a ball pit.
She struggled in the ball pit, but Glenna risked life and limb (literally--she slipped on the way out and hurt her knee) to save our sweet girl.
Kaitlyn got to participate in the little circus, she was a great little lion.
We all really loved the clowns!
More ice cream!
And we're pooped!
All of us!

Oreos
Someone taught this girl about dunking Oreos in milk, but failed in teaching her to leave the milk in the cup.
I love my Moose!
Thanks Aunt Wendy, I'm just now getting great use out of my Christmas present, but I REALLY love it!

2009 Lentil Festival
Tucker had fun hanging out in the stroller, checking out stuff
Maeli got a balloon at one of the booths downtown. We really liked the live children's music, but I didn't get a picture of the band.
Mr Lentil himself...
My favorite part of the parade was the bag pipers...it made the parade seem fancy to me.
Waiting for candy. Which we got plenty of.
Overall, I think we all had fun.

Our 6 Month Old!
Weighing in at 17 1/2 pounds!
Celebrating with Rice Cereal...not a fan by the way.
Gagging it down...
Did like the spoon though.
And can now roll enough that we don't have to worry about sleeping on the belly!
He was pronounced to be in perfect health at his well-baby check up. Dr. Hall said "You'd never know he had such a rough start at things." We do have a cardio-appointment next month just to make sure all his heart issues have cleared up, but Dr. Hall was confident that things will be good.
Tucker is pure happiness at 6 months...he desperately wants to be able to sit up and play, but still requires just the tiniest bit of support. He just adores Maeli and lights up every time he sees her. His favorite things are growling at his toes, kissing peoples' whole face all at once with a big opened-mouth smooch, and snuggling in bed with his daddy at 6:00am. He pretty much sleeps through the night, and greets us every morning with happy coos and smiles.

Thanks Auntie Brandi!
I love my cute new purse, and Maeli loved all of her treats...you picked very good B-Prizes for us! Thanks! It made our day to get fun mail and to know how much you love us!

What a Great Day To Donate Blood...
Since Tucker and I have both had blood transfusions, there is no reason not to donate blood! Its pretty fast, pretty painless, and they give you treats when you're done! Plus there is a huge shortage in our area.
