Summer Recap

Looking back at some of our Summer pictures I realized that a lot of them didn't make it onto the blog. I also realized that we did a lot more than it seemed. We spent a lot of time at the park, went to the Library a few times, had many family picnics-and I'm still not sick of hamburgers, it's amazing!

Erik had fun getting into some tight spaces. This is also the chair he fell off when he split his lip open-which has healed really nicely!

He fell asleep a few times in the high chair, soo cute, reminded me of his baby days.

We also had some inside fun! This was mommy's version of cleaning up the blocks. Erik posed well for the picture, what a ham he's become!

So Erik has Powder Milk on his face. I have it stored in a few buckets, apparently one bucket it a little to accessable for Erik. He opened it up and started EATING the powder milk, yuck! But he actually did it a few times! Funny kid. :)

Horray for broom hockey!


24th of July (pioneer day) celebration.

No relation to this kid except for she's the daughter of a boy I went to high school with, small world.



Snuggles with Grandpa!

I'm stuck here Dad!

We were BIG fans of Settler's Park this summer!

Labor Day Picnic brought to you buy....

.... the letter C!!

We had a picnic today during Pawly's break from work. I started to list what we could take to the park and noticed a theme. Here's my list:

Chicken

Carrot Salad

Chips and salsa-homemade, mmm and so fresh! Thanks to my mom's garden of tomatoes.

Cantalope-Erik's favorite, he calles it "Lope"

Chocolate Milk

and what could complete this meal but....

COOKIES!

but what did we forget?

Camera :(

So it's obvious we like watch Sesame Street at our house :)

It was a GREAT picnic! So nice to be together as a family and play on the playground together. The park we went to had a slide big enough for 3 people to go down at once, actually it was like 3 slides in one, all a little curvy and the middle one had 'speed bumps' I guess down it. So we took advantage of that and went down together. Erik really loves sliding, it's so much fun to watch him play at the park.

Now I'm back to the peace and quiet of our home, both Pawly and Erik are asleep.

Happy Labor Day everyone, please don't Labor today, it's a day of fun and a day off!!!

Fairwell Laurie Michael

Our wonderful smiling sis is leaving tomorrow to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to willing souls in Nashville, Tennessee. We're so proud of her decision to serve the Lord for a year and a half but we sure will miss having fun with her.

However, I'm very excited to receive letters from her and see how the work is going and hear how her testimony of Jesus Christ will grow as she teaches others!

So goodbye to our beloved sister. Keep making us laugh and smile through your letters. We know you'll be an amazing instrument in the hands of the Lord. Now go to and serve with all your heart, might, mind and strength. You'll be in our prayers!! We love you!!!!
