National Relations: Republicans vs. Democrats - Studio C


Oh...hiiiiii USA!

God Bless America!

Pancake Breakfast

Our new ward doesn't get together for fourth of July.  So we crashed our old ward's pancake breakfast and bike parade.  Nothing but classy, are we.

It was really fun to catch up with friends.  (I know it has only been a few months...but still...)  


At some point Ev 'borrowed this bike without asking'.  He enjoyed it.  And then returned it.



Eventually...


And you can tell this is one of my tribe.  Spencer brought not one, but two books, to the breakfast.  Just in case he finished one, he didn't want to go a single minute without a book.  
Sounds just like me.

Baseball Camp

I put the three older boys in baseball camp for a week.  They loved it!

Ev loved running around this knotty ground and pretending he is a great explorer.



The program was really well done and the boys learned a lot about strategy and technique.



James missed the last day so I didn't get a picture of him in his camp shirt but they all loved it and if the opportunity arises, we would definitely do it again. 


Greaser Hairdo




And a bonus crazy hair shot.  This kid is always ready to start the par-tay at 9 o'clock at night.

Shark Tooth Discovery

Riley had a friend over and pulled out a shark tooth digging activity.


The took turns digging into the giant plaster shark tooth to find the baby shark teeth.


Sherlock Ev jumped on the case.






At the end, they were very dusty and thrilled with their finds.

Variety of Scenes with Ev

Cozy place to lounge...


This kid has a hard time sleeping outside of his crib.  But occasionally... 



Chilling with his favorite monkey.  
It is the kind that sings and dances.  
Baby loves it.  And I tolerate it because it makes him so happy.
