July

Now that our family is in Minnesota for the winter, I have the internet again! I feel like I've joined civilization again. So-I can catch up on what everyone has been doing and catch my own blog up on our summer adventures. Life has been great. It's very busy w/two small boys-never a dull moment. I wouldn't change anything! Here are a few of the things we did in July.

Petting zoo at the Teton County, WY fair:

Splashing around in Grandma Beth's wading pool with cousin Zoie:
I am so proud of Mindy's painting, that I had to brag it up on our blog. Even though I didn't contribute at all to this-it's totally worth sharing. Mindy (Garth's sis) is already a successful artist and was commissioned to paint in a consignment store in Driggs. She painted Disney princesses as well. She has an amazing talent!! I could go on an on...
We enjoyed our fire pit several times. We made s'mores (my personal favorite) and cooked with the dutch oven a couple of times.
Just a typical day w/Aunt Rachel (my sis). She is painting a star on Palmer's cheek
Garth and Palmer painting
And of course little (chub a lub) Dexter enjoying playing on the floor mat. He's always along during our fun but is usually on my hip and I'm taking pics. I feel bad there aren't more of him. Typical 2nd child I guess.
Fourth of July parade in Victor. A yearly tradition.
My 10 year high school reunion! Everybody looked great-it was fun to see them and hear what everyone has been up to...I'm on the far right w/baby Dex.
Palmer played outside a lot! This was in June. Long sleeves and a puffer vest. Only in Alta, Wyoming.
We enjoyed the carousel at the splash park in Rexburg with Palmer's girlfriend Emrie. Just ask him if he loves her and see him cheese up a big smile!
