We Love Applesauce!

Jace
We had a busy week of workout,  applesauce canning and just having fun! I'm getting very good on my bike,  I learned to start all by myself and I can even stand up to pedal! Mama put applesauce in my oatmeal one morning and I said, "mama this tastes just like Apple pie and my tummy is very happy". On Thursday grandma and mama's friend Amber came over for dinner and to spend the night. Bella and I showed them the garden and our chickens that are so big now. The next morning, mama, Bella and I took them to a trailhead of the Pacific crest trail. They are hiking 52 miles on the trail to crater lake. We took my bike along and I rode it in the parking lot while they got ready to go. We waved to them as they hiked away, then headed to the park to meet miss Tami, Maren and Maddox for a bike ride and walk. We rode all of our energies out and then mama took Bella and I to story time at the library. On Saturday mama made pulled pork for a potluck at Mr Kelly and miss Melinda's house for a going away party. Mama has worked with Mr Kelly for a lot of years and he got a different job. It was also a pool party and I was in the pool the entire time we were there. I had so much fun playing with all of the big kids that were there. I even did a flip off of the diving board. We met uncle Nick, aunt Lori and the kids at the fabric store so mama could make them some sheets for their trailer. Then we headed for home. We went to church on Sunday, and they told me that next week I move to the next bible school class. On Monday uncle Bill and aunt Doreen came over to visit and had lunch. Then mama headed to crater lake to meet Amber and grandma to spend the night and hike with them their last day. Bella and I had some fun daddy time. We went to workout the next morning and then played outside a bunch. We put some puzzles together and picked some flowers for mama. We were napping when grandma, Amber and mama got back, but I was excited to see mama when I woke up.  We went to workout again on Wednesday and tried to get into swim class but couldn't. I guess I have to wait until October. Thursday mama and daddy both worked and we went to grandma and papa's house. Friday was another fun day of biking and story time with my buddy Maren. Saturday morning we went over to the Rogers' house so mama and miss Tami could can pears, Apple pie filling and freeze pesto and spaghetti sauce. They had a productive day, but Maren and I hung out with Allan until nap time. We got along and had a lot of fun. All four of us kids took a nap at the same time too! After nap, Allan took us on a hay ride behind the tractor and I loved it. Bella even went for a short ride with us. After dinner, Maren got me to play dress up with her. Allan told me that the black dress was like Batman, so I put it on. We headed home after a long and fun day. We went to my new bible school class on Sunday morning and they gave me homework. I did my homework as soon as we got home and I am supposed to memorize a bible verse for this month. Teach me your way, oh Lord. I had it down by the end of the day:)

My teeth are still bugging me, but I am feeding myself with a spoon pretty well. I had fun running in the parking lot where we dropped grandma and Amber off, and giggled a bunch when mama ran with me in the stroller to keep up with Jace on his bike. I don't listen to the story very well at the library, but there are lots of wooden puzzles that I play with there. I got in the pool for a short time at Mr Kelly's house, but wasn't really that excited about all of the other people. I enjoyed playing in his rocks and putting them through the holes of the fence. I took good naps on the way up and the way home. I had fun playing with the other babies at church and we had a family movie of robin hood with popcorn after nap. I slept through lunch and woke up just before aunt Doreen and uncle Bill left on Monday. I loved my time with my daddy while mama was gone too.  One of my molars is poking through, but the other one on top on the same side is coming through too. I threw up at grandma's because my teeth hurt so bad, but once they popped through, my appetite was back. I had lots of fun at the Rogers house. I ate apples, snuggled Maddox and ate plums for lunch. I made a mess! I went in the swing and went on a hay ride with the kids, I laid down and almost fell asleep:) church was good on Sunday!
