Our Ordinary and not so Ordinary Summer-ness
4th of July
Sparkler Action!
THE Parade.. {nice photo bomb dad}
KFC and Baseball game!
Watching Fireworks!
OD'd on Harry Potter
Emma, Kyleigh and Ashton knocked themselves out with a Harry Potter Marathon! As in watched all 8 movies together in one day! {You'd have to poke my eyeballs out before I did anything like that! unless it was maybe a Jane Austen marathon..haha} Not really a fan of Harry Potter...but they more than love it, and I was happy for them. They started before 5:00 in the morning and finished at 11:45 p.m., before curfew. They were so pleased with themselves..
Emma spent hours the day before making Harry Potter inspired wands to surprise Kyleigh and Ashton.
She even made the boxes!
Pretty darn cool I say!
They even had some Harry Potter cauldron of Uncle Braden's lit for the occasion..
Friend Read-A-Thon
{a short and sweet boredom buster}
Brie, Kate and I had some fun with the Friend Magazine and some sticks. They took turns picking sticks that would tell us where to go read, and then at each spot we'd read an article from the friend. {and take a picture}
Yes, I climbed in the tub too!
Having lunch at the hospital with Daddy and the volunteer girls!
Some hut action...It's amazing how a big box can entertain oneself..
She even figured a way to hang her Kindle in there..
Library time....
Swim lessons for Brie...
Art lessons for Hannah
Pool time with the neighbors...
Primary Activity
Beauty Time!
Our oldies but goodies Brave Bash the night before Emma's surgery..
I surprised Emmsie with a vintage record player so we could play the old vinyl records of
g-ma and g-pa Bells.
Awe...these records bring back many fond memories for me as a kid...especially the Beach Boys, Abba, Niel Diamond and Chariots Of Fire. We are a music lov'in household. My girls even love the old 60's stuff. Especially my Hannie!
{Shout out to Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons...them Jersey Boys!}
Surgery Time...We had to be at the hospital at 5:30 the next morning for Emma's nose surgery {to correct deviated septum and reduce major swollen turbinates..}
Thanking Kyleigh for bringing her a shake. First couple of days after surgery she wrote on a board so she didn't have to talk. Her throat KILLED. {You'd have thought she had had her tonsils out.} It was the dang tube that was down her throat during surgery.
Sweet little drop off from my mom...Mom's always seem to have what you need...
She was up right in a recliner for a good 5 days until the tubes up her nose were taken out. It was not pleasant.
For your viewing pleasure if you are ever laid up....some lovely British drama...
Kyeigh went to Zermatt for a girl's get away. You should have seen the trunk of her car. They were loaded down! You'd had thought they were going for a week.
I had two head to girl's camp...
The younger two and I had some fun things planned while they were off at camp..{Kyleigh got home in time from her get away to join us for our afternoon outing }...
We had Lego Night!
Dinosaur Day!
A trip to the Museum of Ancient Life...
We dug up a T-Rex!
The goggles cracked me up!
We are growing our very own dinosaur!
A fun dino read...
My idea of a perfect date night! The Mo Tab Pioneer Day Concert.
A little Saturday morning work....
Kate's job was to pick the tomatoes out back. :)
And a little family water play...
Humor moment for all watching...
The Summer is slip sliding away too darn fast...
