July

I have been time challenged lately. It is hard to find time to do anything but kids (especially baby)! So, today while kids are asleep, I decided I just wanted to quickly share some pics that will cover all of July!
It was Darrell's birthday. We spend it in Ontario with his family, so I didn't get to spoil him at home. Maybe next year! Happy birthday babe!

We spent the 4th in Idaho City. Started out at the parade, which was SO HOT!

We came back to G&G's and swam, ate, and watched a few fireworks. We did a few at home the night before too. Ezra was only interested in sparklers, so big kids did the noisy ones when he went to bed.


Darrell has worked so hard on our yard! Here is a pic of our grass after the first time he mowed it!
AND...a before pic. Better right? This was taken in the winter, but those are all weeds...no grass!
Ezra is obsessed with baseball and is most happy when he is out in the yard, playing with his dad. A funny he shared with me the other day: "Mom, you have to get down like this when you wear a hat on your face!" He sure knows his baseball!
Jakey is getting so big!
He loves to talk, and his favorite place to sleep is here:

For FHE this week we went and played in the river, then walked through the fish observatory. It was a nice end to a very long, hot day!
