July Catch-up

Holy Cow!!!  Almost there!!!  Make sure you scroll all the way down and check out all the posts I've had to do to catch-up, you may even have to go to the next page (click older posts) to see them all.  Sorry for being so behind! 

But here, we go!!  After getting back from Indiana we had quite a busy week!!  Mostly for Mommy.  I've been trying to play catch-up this whole week!!  While we were gone I got behind on my Project Life 365 stuff, so I had to cram a bunch of photo-taking in over the next couple of days.  But I also had to get somethings crocheted for my show I had this past weekend.  So I was doing both of those in every spare minute I had.  But of course, I also planned play dates all this week, so we had busy days away from home too!!!

Tuesday was Daddy's Birthday!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!  So the boys and I spent the day trying to do some special things for him.  (most of them flopped).  Sorry Daddy, you're lemon dessert was upside-down!  The boys were being monsters, the homemade french fries took longer than expected (and were an hour after dinner), but we tried our hardest to make it the best day for you!!!  We hope you enjoyed it!!  We love you!

Wednesday we headed out to see our friends Nicole, Hayden and Dylan, and go swimming with them.  Another fun-filled day!!  We were swimming from about 10:30 to 2:30 (and mommy got super sun-burned), and it really wore the kiddos out!!!  She lives in longmont, so we had a nice 50 minute drive back home for them all to nap during! 

Riley can do somersaults underwater now!!!

Love at First Sight!!

Wednesday Night, I took Jayce on a Mommy-Date to get some ice cream.  We had a blast!  He really needed the one-on-one time (he's been very clingy since we got home from indy) and it was so much easier for me to just keep track of one kid!!  I was able to let him run around like he likes to do without having to split my focus and be afraid to loose track of him.  He's so cute and funny at this age, and I miss a lot taking care of the other two (as I do with each of them) so it was nice to be able to just sit back and take it in!

Raaaahhhh!!! (scaring me)

Checking out the statues

I see a balance beam in his future

And maybe a set of Rings! 

Thursday we got to hang out with Cathy and Ryder, and on Friday Ryder joined us again for Chick-fil-a's Cow Appreciation Day.  Every year in July they have Cow Appreciation Day and if you dress up like a cow you get free food!!  (to be honest I would dress up even if it didn't include free food!  So fun!!)  I've never been able to make it before this year, so I was so excited to participate!!  I crocheted cow hats for everyone (and most of one for Ryder - I ran out of time on the face), and stenciled t-shirts with cow spots.  I must say, we looked pretty darn cute for a cow herd!! 

Yesterday (Saturday) was my craft show.  It was done by a local craft boutique, and called Christmas in July.  I wasn't as prepared as I had hoped, and I think it hurt me a lot.  There are three things that I have that sell really well, and I didn't get the chance to make any extras for the show.  It may have hurt me.  Oh well.  Severance Days is coming up in a month, so now I can prepare for that!  And I did really well at that last year, so hopefully this year is a repeat!  ;) 

Enjoy all the pictures, hopefully I can keep everyone up-to-date better so there isn't so many each time.  Have a great week everyone!!!!
