Marionberries and cell phones

Today we went Marionberry picking. Mmmmm! For those of you who don't live in Oregon, Marionberries are similar to blackberries, but they're sweeter and not quite as tart. They're also a little more reddish in color. They are delicious! There's not much better than a fresh Marionberry cobbler or Marionberry pie.

When we were picking berries, August was helping (mostly picking leaves and throwing marionberries). He decided at one point to take a break and play with his Daddy's phone. So, we caught him just chattering away on the phone. Here's the video.

Here's the part that we DIDN'T know at the time. A few minutes after August was on the phone, the phone rang. It was Rob's friend Simon. Simon wanted to know if we knew that August called him! We had no idea. They had quite a long conversation, too!

Heat wave...

It is the hottest week of the year so far and I'm wishing we had A/C.  Poor August is sweaty and has a bit of a cold.  Waaaaa!  He's been in bed for 2 hours and he's already woken up crying 3 times.  It's going to be a rough night.

I thought it would be fun to make a list of the nicknames we have for August.  Here goes...

Bunny (that was his first nickname)

Pokey Pony (or separately - Pokey, Pony)

Pumpkin

Honey

Little Guy

Butternut

Pumpernickel Pickle (That's one from Rob)

-when having a rough day-

Fusserbusser

Mr. Fusser

I know there's more but all of a sudden I can't think of them.  Maybe I'll add to the list later.
