Happy Birthday!!!

July is always a busy month for us...3 birthdays! This year Grace and Liam are turning 7 & 5 and Adam...well I don't think he would want me to say... Anyway, being odd years for the kids they get only a family party and Grace requested these cute ant cupcakes (perfect for summer) and Liam wanted a race car cake. We stumbled on this awesome book called What's New, Cupcake? at the library and got our great ideas.

Finally got Liam to hold still long enough to take a picture!

The top of the cowboy quilt Grandma Linny is making for Liam

Happy Birthday to Kim also! She is always nice to share her cake with Grace, ants and all!

Summertime

Okay...so it's like 2 months after my last post. That would be because I am running around chasing after 4 kids and a dog and trying not to go crazy! Here is what we have done since the last post....

Watched TV

Liam finished up soccer!

Preschool graduation where I made these cute ducks...we have been into cupcakes lately.

Grace and Luke were in the dance festival at school.

Luke received his Bear in Cub Scouts....so proud! You can tell I like my pin as much as he likes getting the Bear award. ;)

Bubbles...

and more bubbles!

Lots of trampoline jumping with friends

Coloring and crafts

Father's Day dessert

Yummy Father's Day chicken...did I mention I like to take pictures of food?

And in general, posing for the camera is one of the kids favorite things to do...

Too bad about Grace's hair in this picture....

Fourth of July neighborhood parade

Hiking the Grotto in Payson Canyon

Fireworks at Grandma Linny and Papa Don's

Whew! We have also frequented Seven Peaks water park several times but did not take photos...We are Seven Peaked out! But it has been fun. Our next adventure is off to Oregon for a family reunion. First road trip longer than to Boise with the kids and my sister Hattie. Should be INTERESTING!!!!
