I can't believe it, but my sister Sondra is going to a be senior this year. She spent a week with us last week and while she was here, I experimented with my brother's camera by taking some senior pictures. I know I'm definitely not a very good photographer, but here are our favorites:

Jenna is WALKING!!!!!!!!

Yep, she's walking alright and at 9 1/2 months!!! I took this video about a week and a half ago, so she's actually walking a little better than this, but not much. She is growing up so quickly and I love her so much. Sorry it's sideways. I have no idea how to fix it, but at least you'll get the basic idea.

This little girl is growing up so fast!!! She is doing so many things that show me that!!! She's actually starting to walk!!!!! I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. I've been told that I don't really want her to walk, but I think it's normal for you to want your first child to walk, then as you get more, you know you don't want them to walk. Oh well, she's getting there at a good enough pace for me.

She is so so silly. I was folding laundry, which with Jenna's help, is more like UNfolding laundry :) Anyways, she's hilarious to watch sometimes, even though it's frustrating to refold the clothes. But, I find that if I give her one piece of clothing to play with, she plays with it and leaves the rest alone. Last week, Sondra stayed with us for a week. One day when I was folding laundry, Sondra put some of James' shorts that Jenna was playing with over her head, but instead of pulling them off completely, she pulled them the wrong way and her head went through the leg holes!!!! She ended up wearing his shorts like a toga!!!! (pic above) She's a crazy kid, but she eventually figured out how to jiggle them off.

Yep, like I said, Jenna is learning to walk right now, and there's really nothing I can do about it. She walks all over the place, sometimes by herself, and sometimes with the help of furniture or my legs.

Happy Birthday to James!!!!!

July 18th was James' 26th birthday!!!!!!!

He got some movies from Jenna and a lounge camping chair from Me. (Too bad, camping already over. Oh well, he uses it right now as a recliner for watching TV!!!)

He also got one more thing from everyone that I didn't take any pictures of:

A 42" Big Screen TV!!!!!!!!!!

A Camping We Must Go!!!!!!!

I know that it's been almost two weeks since we got home from the Forsberg Family camping trip to Silver Creek, but I'm finally posting some pictures of our fun!!!!

Jenna loved playing in the Plunge only because it was warm. Playing in the creek was a different story. She sat on the edge of the cold water, but I don't have pictures of that right now. I'll post them soon.

She loved walking along the bar in the pool. She was actually able to walk around AND be in the warm water!!!!!!

Jenna's Grandpa Forsberg was really good at getting her to sleep while Mommy had fun playing cards with the family. (Too bad that night, she kept waking up and not going to sleep which made mommy frustrated!)

I love that Jenna is entertained so cheaply!!!!!! Just give her a cardboard box and she's in heaven.

Bath time is one of Jenna's favorite during the day and camping wasn't any different. Then her three aunts decided it would be funny to give her a mohawk-correction fauxhawk :)

Oh, my silly silly goofy aunts!!!!!

Chopping wood is fun to do, fun to do, to do, to do!!!!!!!!

I love being on shoulders, even Grandma's!!!!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!!

Trying to catch up:

I'm sorry that I haven't done a very good job at keeping up. I'm really trying though. So all I'm going to do it say that life is going good. Jenna is growing up so fast and is getting sillier than ever, as you can tell from her crazy pictures. I will post pictures soon from today's festivities. We can't wait until next week for the Forsberg Family Reunion at Silver Creek. We are so excited. When we get back, I will post pictures of that too.

Jenna is 9 months old already and I can't believe it!!!!

"I almost got it....reach...reach"

Jenna really likes helping mommy do the dishes!!!

I want to say a late Happy Father's Day to James. He is an excellent dad and I don't know what I would do without him. Although sometimes I complain, he really is very helpful. He loves playing with his little girl and has a ton of fun with her.

Also, I do have to say that on the same day that James celebrated his first real Father's Day, I also celebrated my 21st birthday!!!!!! Alright I'm finally old enough to drink legally!!!! Just kidding!!!!

June 21st was a pretty good day. James got me a new computer!!!! I actually figured that with my own computer that I'd do better at keeping updated on this blog, but it's actually been worse. Anyways, I kinda already knew what I was getting for my birthday, but I tried to act surprised.

On that Saturday night before, James took me out on a date. He even bought me flowers which were absolutely beautiful. We went to watch the movie "The Proposal" because i absolutely love Sandra Bullock, and then he took me out to dinner at Michael's on the Lake in Moses Lake.
