July

 
I'm tired and don't feel like typing much, so I will be brief! In July for the 4th we went to our friends house with some other families. It was a perfect day and evening. I love the Fourth.
 
 
Audrey and her friend Maggie posing on the tire swing. Why do girls love their pictures taken and boys hide from the camera? Each family brought a bunch of fireworks, which the big boys had great fun with. Our friend Tim is about to set one off with these munchkins looking on.

 
Our friends had a ping pong table, which also occupied the big boys.  There were some pretty intense matches! It was fun to watch.

Our House

So, it's official.  We're going to Reno.  And we are SO excited! But we've worked so hard on this house, so I have to show you all our projects!  I made this site on shutterfly for people to link to on Craigslist, where I posted it.  Ignore all the corny, trying-to-sell-potential-renters-on-our-house writing on the pictures! I just want to show you guys our house!

June is for Audrey...

I am going to try really hard to do several posts to catch up over the summer. Audrey's birthday and baptism happened  way back in June. She kicked off the celebrations with a friend party. I moved our kitchen table out of the room (sort of a sunroom) and turned it into a girl party palace. They watche a movie on the wall and basically just ran around the house playing and screaming. So I really didn't have to do anything which was great. Audrey wanted to serve crepes complete with her favorite toppings; cinn/sugar, syrup, Nutella and pwd. sugar. We also had applesauce and strawberries. And lots of whipped cream that I had to confiscate once I realized they were taking turns spraying into their mouths. Yuck. We also had cherries and a veggie tray. I thought the crepes were dessert enough to stick a candle in them and call it good, but she was set on cupcakes. She had fun though, and wasn't mad at me for not throwing a good enough party, so that was a success! I also just noticed the pictures loaded backwards, oops. 




Audrey was in heaven with the kitten Troy got her. I found them both asleep one afternoon. Rosie is the greatest attention holder for Audrey, it's awesome. And she does take good care of her. As far as I know, there isn't any animal cruelty....



We headed up to Spokane the end of June since Troy had to go up for a conference. Bev came with her kids too, so it was a lot of fun to have them there. Audrey's real bday was in Spokane, so of course we had another cake and round of gifts. She loved it. I love the pic. above of Alex aka. Power Ranger. Apparently even Power Rangers need some rest.



The cousins made a little circle for Rosie to play in.
