July in a Thousand Words

During July we finished up our vacation by spending the 4th of July weekend in Hyrum, then driving back home. At home, we had some fun times sprinkled throughout a month of working on the house.

June in a Thousand Words

During June we were busy with swimming lessons, the last few tball games, and vacation. On our trip we made a brief stop in Utah and then went to Branson, MO for my Grandad's 80th birthday reunion. We had tons of fun.

May in a thousand words

I didn't actually take that many pictures in May, so they'll be big enough to see (though you can still click to enlarge). I'll probably get caught up eventually, but for now, here's the scoop:

What I've learned this week

In the last week since we've been home from vacation, I've learned:

1) black widows are really as shiny, big, and black as their pictures, they make ugly (irregular) webs, and can only be killed by direct contact (no effective pesticide pre-spraying) --- flip-flops work well.

2) it is a waste of money to have stitches put in Nathan's head- he just picks the wound open as soon as they've dissolved.

3) the "working" toilet will leak through the ceiling as soon as you think you've got all the plumbing work done.

4) a little boy will eventually learn to ride and enjoy his bicycle, even if it takes until after he's seven.

5) I am a messy painter, either that or I've got some sort of dreaded spotty disease.

6) The air conditioner works great!

7) Primary is much nicer after a three-week break.
