July 2017

After a six month break, I'M BACK!!!

Now time to recap the past six months... mostly with lots of pictures and little words.

Because I sadly don't remember the details anymore plus pictures are more fun anyway!

...

We started July off with family in town. 

My niece Halle got baptized and Ty got blessed the first weekend in July. 

We enjoyed lots of time with cousins.

There was hiking, played in the backyard and talking about all things Harry Potter,

celebrating lots of summer birthdays and the kids had a sleepover in our playhouse.

Ty was blessed on July 2nd. The day he turned two months old.

I should have cropped this next picture but I thought it was funnier this way.

You never know what you're gonna get when you ask a random person to take your picture.

Our friends the Boyers came.

Sean's good friend Trent came with his twins. He was super dad that day.

July 3rd we celebrated my birthday.

We had a laid back 4th of July at home.

July 6th was Lexi's 9th birthday.

She wanted to decorate her own cake.

These two had check ups.

Lexi was 55 lbs (9%) and 51.5 inches (37%).

Ty was 14 lbs (81%) and 24 inches (84%).

We got together one afternoon with the Orton side of the family.

The kids went ice blocking.

 We went to the Christensen family reunion.

It was so hot, just like it is every year. Ty was lucky and got to hang out in his diaper.

 The girls bought some new furniture for their dolls.

 I took a lot of pictures of my little Ty Guy.

 

Me and Sean and the three older kids all took the Pottermore house quiz and we all are Hufflepuff!

I braved Costco with all five kids by myself.

Sean traveled to Oklahoma for work.

To pass the time, we went and played with friends.

We went and played with the Russell's.

 

 And we went and played with the Boyer's too.

The school class lists were posted.

 Ruby continues to be the cutest toddler.

We finally went to "the dinosaur park" here in town.

Eli tried to copy Lexi's artwork and did a pretty good job.

The kids made fairy houses.

We were invited to a Harry Potter movie night at a friend's house.

 And we celebrated Harry Potter's birthday.
