To start off there was one more August birthday that we celebrated for my friend Paprika(aka Brittania to her non cool friends, hee hee) Meg and I decided to surprise her with all sorts of a fun day since her hubby was out of town on her birthday and no one should be alone on their birthday. We started off getting pedicures. They were awesome!
On one of the few warm days we had Kilo and I went down to the river with Freckles to play. I love that we have a river that is a walk away! So fun to live so close to so many fun things!
Freckles loves his little bitty ball! He plays with it like a cat would. It is pretty hilarious! I love my little guy!
My husband hates me taking so many pics and calls me the crazy camera lady, hence his silly faces sometimes. I love this guy even more!
Kilo and I took up canning this year! Our great friends Megan and Andy helped us out with this. We are so freaking grateful! The first night we canned peaches and peach spice jam. They both turned out great and are delicious! Our Bishop has really ben stressing the importance of getting prepared with food storage and 72 hour kits so Kilo and I decided to get busy.
Jessie is loving helping us! This is Megan and Andy's cute little boy! He had a blast cutting the peaches
I am such the homemaker bahahaha!! I like to pretend and think that someday it will come true
Almost done! So rewarding to do somthing so wife like and not have my mother in charge. i had to grow up and be the adult with Megan in charge lol Scooping the jam into the jars was messy!
The boys helped cut up the peaches but then it was more helpful for them to take a seat and play video games, which I think they were perfectly ok with
Another great time with the Harper family, but that goes without saying! Kilo hanging out with his buddies playing with some silly putty
Tory is showing off his mad skills
Bram was trying to take pics of the photographer, there is a reason I hide behind the camera!
Dallin has got some mad Twister skills, except I think that he is playing wrong.....
Oh there we go, I guess he just needed some friends to play with him!
Tumble and fall! Still a few bums in the air!!
Smiling happy people! Yay for twister!
Somehow they got me in front of the camera to play a game, I did not last long
We have been out to the water a few times on the Harpers boat. Somehow I got peer pressured into getting off the boat into the water to try wakeboarding, of which I still stink at, and going tubing. I am defintely not a huge fan of getting out behind the boat. I love being on it!
Adorable Cole always full of smiles!
I think this must be where he gets it from, his adorable mom!
Catching some sun
Caught in the act bahahaha so funny!
We also went out on the water with the youth of our church
Somehow Kilo got stuck behind the grill and is pretending to be upset lol
Went to the waterfront with Brittania and Megan.....tried to get a pic, where is Megan? Hiding behind the fat man, but I see Jessie and Paprika!
Paprika being so brave to go out on the tube to protect Cole....or was it the other way around?
Shana being even more brave driving the boat, she did awesome!
Yay Paprika and Cole
Dallin got up!
Bram got up!
Tory(aka Mr Cool Guy) chilling on mom's lap
We look so calm and collected, they did not capture our freaking out luckily!
We were having so much fun! Faster!
Natalie is up! or not......
We had friends over for games and treats
We made up our own rules to the game, even after reading through them twice
Cambria didreally well entertaining herslef with the toys!
Cute Meg and Paprika
I have had such a great summer, even though the sun did not come around until August. I really do prefer it that way. I love short summers! We have had lots of adventures and I am still not caught up but I feel a little better after this long post. Really need to make a weekly habit with how much we get to have fun and take so many great pics. My blogging habits are as great as my journalhabits, which is why I get so behind. This post does not even give justice to how much fun we are having living here and enjoying where we are and what we get to do right now being so young with so much possibility in front of us! I love my life and my husband and I feel so blessed to grow with him, learn with him, and love such an incredible man! Life is amazing!
