Whitman’s Laugh (video)

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:32:01 -0700

Even though Whitman isn’t nearly as giggly as either Trevor or David was at the same age, he does have his moments when he is prone to laughter. Tonight, he treated us to a few real and fake laughs.

Some of my favorite moments are the lazy ones, when nothing really is happening. Whitman was playing with his dog the other day, carrying him around, setting him down, and then picking it up again.

Fourth of July Weekend (videos)

We had a great Fourth of July. Roger and Judy came to visit along with Alisha’s grandparents and aunts. We enjoyed a party at our friends the Lawbaughs, a party at Roger and Judy’s Forest Grove house, an evening at Becky and Jeremy’s, and a day at the beach.

I’m loving my new iPhone4. The above video was shot and edited entirely on the phone. The photos and videos below were also shot using the iPhone.

Three Boys and a Tractor (video)

We had a great 4th of July with friends and family. On July 3rd, our friends the Lawbaughs had us over for their yearly 4th of July party. Then, last night on the 4th, we headed out to Roger and Judy’s Forest Grove house to celebrate with Roger, Judy, Roger’s parents, Bethanne, Gayle, and Jeremy/Becky’s family.

The boys had a blast helping set up the firepit and the fireworks show. In this video, Trevor is hauling the wood over to the firepit to prepare for the nights campfire and Whitman is helping push. David just cannot believe that Whitman is helping and is running around excited letting everyone know.

Whitman Takes A Bath (video)

Whitman is a very happy and busy boy. He especially enjoys his baths.

Trevor(8) and David(4) helped me shoot the video. Instead of the video camera, we used the iPhone 4.
