A Month in Pictures....

Instead of trying to write all about the crazy month of July in our family, I'll just sum it up with pictures....lot's of them!

We got a new camera and have had fun discovering how it works!

Started the Terrible Two's- lot's of tantrums, crying, hitting, (even a bite), and LOT's of "NO! ME!"- bad timing little dude, bad timing. but that's okay, we still love you.

We got a suprise visit from some old friends from Tucson-

I just happened to come downstairs after getting ready for the day and checked my Facebook page and found a message from Sunday telling me they were coming through Omaha very soon and wanted me to call them so they could stop by. So I called them and they were within minutes of passing our exit, I then called Jack and told him to take an early lunch and come home so he could see them too. We used to play games with the Meservy family quite often, and were also Jon's Sunbeam (3 yr olds) teachers at church.I am SOOO glad we were able to visit with them for just a little bit, we have missed them dearly since we all went seperate ways from Tucson.

I discovered that the amazing zoom on our new camera makes for a great set of makeshift binoculars to spy on interesting creatures in our backyard neighbors yard. What is this??

Since it has been SO hot and humid here, walking outside to get the baby to drop just wasn't an option....so I frequented Target and Walmart...and the boys ended up with a few new toys (good thing they were on clearance and under 2 bucks!)

Celebrated Pioneer Day at the Mormon Trail Center/Winter Quarters LDS Temple

Had a couple false alarm trips to the hospital. (not fun. I know this is my third, but hey, what am I supposed to think when I'm having contractions ALL day, that get closer together as time went on???)

I don't have a picture, but we added a new member to our family...not not the baby...a goldfish. His name is Dorothy, named after Elmo's pet goldfish on Elmo's World. The goldfish was received courtesy of the the local public library "Goldfish Race Day"...um...thanks?

Got stitches after hitting a coffee table in just the wrong spot.

Visited with the cousins

Discovered how to say "Knock, Knock" jokes

And of course the Grand Finale of the Month of July......will be in the next post!
