July in a nutshell


Carter finished his online preschool.
Good job buddy!
Now on to kindergarten.


We finally got rid of all these cherries!
It was a bit ridiculous.

The kids mocking Mommy while she picks cherries out of the grass.
We learned this year why George Washington chopped down the cherry tree: Because it was his job to pick cherries out of the lawn!      --Aunt Roger
Cherry-water anyone?

Independence Day bowling.
One finger should do it.

Carter helping Uncle Spencer.

Practicing her skills so she can come chop down our cherry tree.

Try to stow away in the honeymoon luggage.

Fireworks.
Mind blown.

Carter noticed many other houses in the neighborhood with flags on their lawns, so he put his own out there.

Happy 7-11

Crazy kid

Go Willy, go!
Sa la na a yuum iasis!

Lovin' playing with some old med school friends.


Dripping rocks hike with some of the residency VIP gang.

Jayden stayed far away from the dripping rocks.

Loving the carousel

Trying out for the zoo's new live-with-a-gorilla program.
Not quite tall enough this year.

Jayden is potty trained!  Hooray!

Potty prize-Ice cream!

Final potty prize-frosties at Wendy's.

Mommy-Jayden date at the mall.
This is us in the photo booth taking pictures with Mommy's phone.

Strawberry-banana pancakes with chocolate syrup.  Yum!

This kid is nuts.  He let this bug crawl all over him.


Here he is with his praying mantis, Mantie.
Carter showing Mantie to his little sis.


These kids are getting more particular about their dress.
Carter has been insisting for weeks to only wear a white dress shirt along with his missionary name tag to church on Sundays.
Jayden has noticed Mommy's necklace and earrings, and wants them for herself now.

Ninja battle!

This little girlie found both the lipstick and the brownies.

Aunt Roger practicing being a cat lady.

Orange!

Getting so big.

Sorted into Hufflepuff and Slytherin at the library.

Trying out their new wands with their owls.

Don't forget your luggage kiddo!

Dance party with Snape.
Book of Mormon distance, or it'll be detention scrubbing out cauldrons!

Relaxing at the beach

Happy Pioneer Day!

Loving the sparklers.

Just married and they already have a gaggle of kids.
Slow down guys!

Lookin' good guys!

Beautiful Blue eyes.

Waiting for lunch...

"Why did they give me two forks?"

Still waiting on the food.....

At least we have some lemonade to start on now.

Found a better place to wait for food.

Cake!!!!

We enjoyed the luncheon too.


Getting ready for the reception

Little Miss

Causing trouble in the relief society room

Causing trouble in the gym.

Thank you Emilee!


Waiting to light our sparklers for the bride and groom
