Impromptu Camping Trip

This past summer, we came home on a Friday evening after a long day, and Raleigh remembered, "Isn't today the Ward Campout, Daddy?  You promised us you would take us!!"  So after quickly packing "guy style," and stopping at the store for some needed supplies (Teddy Grahams and OJ), they headed 15 minutes up the canyon to Mutual Dell and and had some bonding time.  They hung out with friends, "camped" in the van, (while I enjoyed the quiet at home with a sleeping baby girl), and they came home the next morning filthy dirty and worn out.  You can tell by the pictures that the Teddy Grahams were a big hit!

She Had a Birthday!

Kensington had a birthday last month, and this is the card that Raleigh thoughtfully gave to her little sis.  Can you translate it?  It says: "You are special.  With love.  Wishes come true.  Love, Raleigh."  Melts your heart!

Choobers Chokes a Cat- MEOW!

To the tune of I'm a Little Teapot (sorry, that's the kind of kiddie music that gets stuck in my head . . .)

I'm a Little Choobers, short and cute!

I have a really big front tooth.

I like this kitty quite a lot.

I put him in a tight headlock.

This is SO funny. Just kidding, it's not.

R.I.P....

Our poor little computer died. That's why we haven't posted in a while. And that's why you don't see any pictures on this post. We have to somehow retrieve them off of the dead computer.

I just came upon the most hilarious blog; I have to recommend it to all of you: seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com. It's a satire about a Mormon Mom Blogger and it is a crack up! Check it out if you have the time. I know I sound like her half the time (the made-up character posing as a blogger), so I can tell you right now that I can laugh at myself. Leave a comment if you see it and love it!

Hopefully our computer woes will end soon and I can post some pictures of Choobers gigantic new teeth coming in. She will look like a little pumpkin head right in time for fall . . .

OH. MY. GARSH.

 

Goodbye, July!

 

Okay, so we all know that I really need to update our blog. And I will. Just not right now. First I have to catch up a little on life. Actually, that's what I've been doing: a lot more living and enjoying a fun summer with family and friends! Tonight Raleigh lost her first tooth, so we are hoping the tooth fairy comes. (She didn't forget about asking about that in her prayers tonight.) Speaking of Raleigh, did you know that when she gets really mad and wants to cuss, she says, "FITNESS!" She was doing that the other day when she was mad about something. Watch out!
