Family Pictures

While in Oregon this Summer, we managed to get some decent pictures of the kids and a decent family picture.

Jr. took several of these pictures (Jet's picture? That's one of them).

We also got a picture at Shore Acres but Jeremy had to edit out some people in the background. I'm putting that finished picture here as well.

What?

 

Everybody, Look

Mommy: I'm not reading tea leaves. I'm reading cucumber slices and this cucumber slice has vampire fangs. That means we will eat Vampire Slayer cheese curds.

It was only later I realized the fangs were in the wrong position for vampire fangs. They were more like spider fangs. Sigh. We still ate the cheese curds.

Who did it best?

And some that didn't make the cut:

Fun in July Other Than Celebrating Holidays

We didn't just celebrate holidays in July. We had other fun, too. Some things worked for Summer Reading.

Dressing up (total Harry Potter vibes going on).

He stole my pajamas and put them on himself.

Crafts- it's Dixie Fox.

Bonding time- One day Jr. needed a break so he came into my room. I suggested we play a game so we did... until Jet came and decided to mess up the cards. Sigh.  He wanted to "play," too, I guess.

We brought back some treats from Washington. There were jelly snacks in a frog shaped jar. Jr. and Jet named the jar, "Senor Frog," so at one point Jet said, "Aww. Senor Frog. He's so cute." Jet's so cute.

We've continued to try new recipes. This was BLT pasta salad (big hit with several family members) and Hawaiian baked beans (I was the only one who liked them and I really liked them).

We did one more story trail that they set up on the Provo Library grounds. The Golden River.

Nichole went to a Lord of the Rings marathon at the Orem Library. Jeremy made her a food for one of the breaks.

We weren't able to get tickets for a movie night to watch Wonka at the Provo Library so we checked the movie out and had our own movie night at home with popcorn and brownies.

Nichole and I got out for walks with friends.

A couple family members won prizes from the Orem Library and Jr. won a prize from the Provo Library. Jeremy won a movie night at the Orem Library. Jet won some new Pete the Cat books. Jr. won some play tickets. We all got some prizes just for participating in the Summer Reading programs.

July was busy.

I’m Sick

Being sick is annoying. That’s where I’m at right now.

The End.
