August phone pics

Did anyone hear about the landslide in Utah earlier this month? I was in the area that particular 

morning and took the above picture. So very sad. I felt devastated for the family that lost their home.

Jacob's darling grandma celebrated her ninetith birthday and we were able to go to the open

house her children had for her. She is the youngest 90-year old I know. We loved being with her!
(Even if I was more than frustrated I forgot my good camera. I still love this picture of her though.)

This baby girl loves shoes. Even her oldest brother's cleats that could possibly rival her for

height. (Size 12 cleats are not small.) I love how thrilled she is that we let her wear them.

* Somehow (still a mystery to me, but my finger might be pointing toward a certain #5 child of ours), all of my 

August phone pics, except these few, were deleted off my camera. I was pretty sad to lose some other great ones 

I had, but such is life. And since it has never happened before, I will just be grateful. And hopeful it won't

 happen again. I don't love the quality of the phone photos, but I sure love what I can capture because I usually

have my cell phone with me. And I 'm so thankful to have them on the blog as a part of our history. *
