July

We have had a very busy July so far and are loving every minute of it! We spent 4th of July on the farm. Tyler had his first experience lighting fire works and he LOVED the pop-its. But what kid doesn't?

Waiting for the big show.

The next day Tyler and I continued on to Eastern Idaho and spent a week with my family. The main reason I went was to see my good 'ole college roommate Hilary from Michigan! She was coming through for a family reunion and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see her. It's been too many years!

And look what she brought me! I LOOOVE my new bag! HERE is her website - go check out her cute bags.

Also while there I decided to do a bedroom makeover for my parents ("Design on a Dime" style) and somehow talked my brothers and sister-in-law into helping out. It was definitely a project, but I had fun doing it. I'm pretty sure they were just happy to see me go by the end of the week!

Camping

Last weekend we went camping with a few friends. (Tyler and Lily)

It was so COLD at night, but a lot of fun and hopefully we can do it again soon...well, as soon as we get a bigger tent so I don't continually get kicked in the side from Tyler because the only spot we have for him is in the middle of the flat air mattress. As you can probably guess, there was very little sleep that night.

I had no clue this kid was so dirty until I caught a glimpse of his face by the fire. I'm glad the flash worked in the tent - I've never seen him with dirt on his face!

Our family (awkward picture - it was the best we could do)

The Wycherlys

The Taylors
The Atwoods

The best part: S'MORES. Dang, those tasted good! All the kiddos loved them as well.

Tyler is really starting to think he's funny. It's funny.
