Tina's 10x20 Storyboards

You will probably have to click on these to get a better view. They are fun though.

Young Living Lavender 5k On July 11th

Yes, you read that right. I am STILL STILL STILL doing 5k's. Is this sad? I think so! When will I be more consistent and move on to 10ks or more? I utterly refuse to admit my time on it because it was more than last time. That is what happens when you take a 9 month hiatus. We got to run through the lavender fields, which was very beautiful considering my fav. color is lavender. I have been doing much better getting out in the morning and running (did I say running---I meant jogging---slowly), so I must say I am proud about that, but still disappointed in my lack of commitment and will power.

Happy 1st Birthday Zuka

Ava claimed Zuka for her own the second we got him home and she still can't get enough of him. His birthday is July 28th, but who knows if I will be able to post anything that day or not. It has been touch and go considering our computer isn't even living in the same house as we are. Ok, Ok so I'll admit he's not quite as cute as he used to be, but still SO sweet.

Freedom Festival

I am so behind on my blog and the going on's of my life. This is one of the many posts waiting in the wings. The kids and I went to the Freedom Festival downtown to celebrate the 4th weekend. The girls made bead bracelets, doorknob hangers, and got their faces painted. Along with jumping on the inflatable slide. I bought one pair of earrings that are really cute. I wish I could have bought 10 from that booth.

Snow cones! Yum! Gracie dropped hers right off the bat, but Ava is such a good sharer. She will always share anything I ask, so Gracie was in luck.

I have no clue who the meditating man is. Notice the snow cone at G's feet.

Breck didn't want to leave! ;-) That, or he is crying tears of joy that he doesn't have to be pushed around in the blazing heat looking at a bunch of people's jiggly butts anymore! I was so frusturated with Breck's crying and my children in their sticky, hot, annoying glory that I left the stroller right on Center street and drove off! FREAK!

Just 2 More Cute Ones

Tina's Fam and the Cutest Lil Cowboy

Ok, who can deny that this little Ty isn't the cutest cowboy in the world? I took some pics of Tina's (my sis) family. These are just a few.

Look at how adorable Sugar's little face is.

Even Bruno is smiling.

Back Seat Driver

Breck found that the only way to get a decent ride was to hitch one from his sister.

Too bad his sister decided that she could have much more fun without him!

But luckily, he has more than one sister to bum a ride from. Don't ask about the stickers on Ava's face---I have no clue!

Father's Day

If you know me you know I hate PDA; I think getting all shmoozy on my blog about Ryan on Father's Day would be a form of PDA----so I just can't go there. But I did want to post this cute picture Gracie drew of her and her dad in primary today. I don't know why it didn't scan it in color. I am going to ask the girls a few questions about Ryan and post it on the blog, but that will come later.

UP

Ok so the picture is small :-) but Ryan and I took the girls to the movie Up the other day. I could have lived without the enormous list of previews, but the movie was good. Today I came upon this article (click link below) that just humbled me and made me so grateful for my healthy children and family.

Ta Da!

Ava had her end of the semester "performance" at gym on Friday.

Miss Mel helping Ava on the bar. Miss Mel is Gracie and Ava's favorite.

Gracie's performance was also on Friday, but she utterly refused to attend. She did have a few tricks up her sleeve for us though when we went to watch Ava.

Breck just taking it all in.

I really love 'The Little Gym' because the girls just have a lot of fun. They do teach them skills, but it is a lot of just playing around and having a good time.
