July Randoms Part 2

Here's some more shmorgasboard pictures of random-buckets-o-fun from July

The first few weeks after Lizzie was born were kind of rough with Flor, to say the least. We saw a big spike in her behaviors and it was a daily crying fest (on my part) to feel like I was meeting her needs and meeting Lizzie's needs. Mishell really stepped it up during that time and was such a super help (she is anyway, but she just tends t sense when there is a need and fill it). One day, after she'd done all her regular chore, she and Jace cleaned out the absolutely disgusting van. She's such a good girl. 

I can't remember what this was a consequence for, but this was an additional chore for these three for something or other that they did (probably fighting). Anyway, they did a stellar job on the garage...or I should say that Mishell and Hallie did a stellar job on the garage, because well, I am not sure how much help Jace was with his shovel and helmet. 

For one of our "Thursday Adventure Days", we decided to go to the Hill Air Force Museum. How in the world have we lived this close to this amazing place for so long and never been?? It was really very cool and the kids loved it. Oh, and FREE was awesome too. We will definitely be going again sometime. Jace still talks about when we can take daddy back to see it.

While there, they had a little kids class where the kids got to make their won gliders and then throw them off the balcony as many times as they wanted. Pure fun, I tell ya.

Flor. She cracks herself up sometimes :)

My awesome husband got the nursery ready pretty much single handedly while I was off playing with the girls in St. George. Isn't it cute? the dots were on the wall from the people previous to us, so don't go thinking we are that cute and crafty, because we aren't. 

I think this was modeling new PJs that I got for clearance for $3 on the girls trip. You know I love a good deal...and Flor has to have zip up jammies on backwards so to find pairs that are not the warm fleece footies is a real win. 

This is the definition of random right here. No idea why I took this picture.

While my mom was here after Lizzie was born, she bought the kids a slip and slide. That was a solid purchase because it provided hours of entertainment after Lizzie was born and we weren't going out much.

This is Mishell's good friend Maddie from our previous ward. We went to see Maddie, her mom, and her sisters in the play Anne of Green Gables at the Farmington Community Center. It was a great time and the play was darling. Hallie and Mishell seemed to like it too.

My cousin Logan left for a mission to Colombus, Ohio, so we went to his farewell when Lizzie was just a few weeks old. He is gone now and is doing a fabulous job on his mission.

On another Thursday Adventure Day, we met up with Cortney and Che at Willard Bay to do some swimming. No one told us that the water was pretty nasty, but the kids had a great time and we all enjoyed sitting and chatting, so I will still call it a win. 

They even had pavilions for us to use..also a win with a small baby.

Because I mean, even though she wasn't going swimming, the occasion still called for her to wear her cute suit.

Flor was content to just chill in the water. The water was very warm, so that was a bonus. 

We spent a Saturday down in Provo and took some of the cousins to the splash pad. Always a good time with these cuties.

I think this was homemade donut day at our house. Why that called for documenting, I am not sure...but there you go!
