Quick Round-Up of July

July was a VERY busy month for our family. Here's what we did!

  • First July 4th at our House. Loved watching our crazy neighbors set off fireworks. Enjoyed our family being with us in our backyard!
  • Mama flew with the boys to Philadelphia. Visited Grandma and Grandpa. Went to a working dairy and fed some animals. Ate some ice cream (yummers!). Visited with extended family.
  • Mama went to Hazleton, PA to visit with some friends from youth group/FCBC and took Baby. Spiderman stayed with G+G for a fun weekend alone! They went to Ocean City, NJ and a small zoo.
  • Visited with Grandmom and Grandpop in Carlisle for a week. Enjoyed their pool and a church picnic. Went to Lake Tobias (wildlife park) and enjoyed the petting zoo. Spiderman found a peacock feather and we brought it home... it's around here somewhere...
  • Took G+G to the doctor several times for some medical problems, hopefully that is all better now! Went for walks and enjoyed their property. Drove Gpop's really awesome new lawn mower!
  • Came home at the same time as Uncle C and even flew on the second flight next to him! That was great fun for Spiderman who pretended to be the pilot the whole way from SLC to home. We were his co-pilots and assistants.
  • Hung out with Uncle C for several days. Lost my voice. Tried to do a gig with T2 but failed miserably. Started getting my voice back in time for our camping trip to Grandjean.
  • Camped in Grandjean at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains. GORGEOUS! Hiked my butt off. It nearly killed me. It wasn't really hiking; more like blazing a trail! Went to Redfish Lake in Stanley. Also really beautiful! Wilderness experiences out west are so much better than PA!!!
  • Went to a Hawks game to celebrate Hubby's 31st birthday! Caught some balls at the end... that was fun!
  • Enjoyed the fact that Baby can now say "Bababa" and "Dadada" and can scoot around the floor, including pivoting which is hysterical, sit himself up, stand holding onto something, and eat solid foods. He's growing up so fast and is learning so much! I can tell already that he is going to be a HAND-FULL!!!
  • Started purchasing school supplies! Spiderman starts Kindergarten on August 25! Can't believe it. Wow.
