Everyday July

Between the 4th of July, Cousin Camp in Pine Valley, we managed to fit in some fun  activities!  

Lincoln went to a week long Tumble in the Jungle camp/pre-school.  He loved it all and was sad when it ended.  

 The sweetest little shark ever..... and the best big brother!

Norah is def a little mother. She mimics everything I do... so here she is trying to pump! 

Norah had her 1st dentist appointment and she did awesome!

 We had a volunteer pumpkin patch come up this summer. We had thrown a bunch of our old pumpkins over there last fall and now have pumpkins for the 4th of July. haha

 Heidi and Tim had their sweet baby boy Benjamin Guy Thorley! We cant wait to meet him.

 We did lots of playing outside in the hot hot sun. Norah's cheeks always go bright pink the moment she walks outside.

 The Thorley kids were up for a week.  They taught Lincoln and Norah the art of catching snails. I still dont think Lincoln and Norah did much of the catching but total they had 80+ snails or snail shells in their bucket.

My favorite big boy and my favorite little boy.

 Dad was preparing to go to Alaska... so he had to test his waders out to make sure they didnt have a hole in them. So he hopped in the bath with Lincoln and Norah..... rub a dub dub 3 kids in the tub.

 I am not in very many pics with the kids so I have to add these cause I Love being a Mom and I love these three kids.

 We visited Grandma and Grandpa Barton. Always a favorite place to go because of the marbles, cool old classic toys, and cookies that Grandma great handouts!

 We did pop-its a few times...

 We also had fun while the Thorleys were here and had cousin fun slip and slide time.

 Lincoiln, Channing, and Isaac were the 3 little banana boys.

 Lincoln still asked for projects most days... we try and find something simple that we can do and learn something from! This little guy is so inquisitive and is always soaking up learning.

 Lincoln loves when Cade goes downstairs and helps put him to bed. He always wants Cade to lie by him--

 We've had a great time dressing up a bunch!  Princesses and Superheros around these parts.

 We have had lots of produce that has needed to be used.  Bottled tomatoes, marinara sauce, bottled peaches, dried a ton of peaches, made apricot syrup and jelly, and made raisins!  I love the result I get from bottling but dont always love the process. haha.  I am so grateful that we have been blessed with an abundance of yummy fresh fruits and veggies!
