July Happenings

July has been great so far!!!

On the Fourth of July...Matt had to work..so I spent the morning making salads for my mom's BBQ.  I met my sister Ashley and Victor and their son Zander for some swimming.  We ran home to grab Matt, to shower and to change.  In all of the craziness...I only snapped ONE picture.  Good thing it was an awesome one.  I love this cute pic of my kiddos! 

**On a side note, this is the LAST time Jamie's Fourth of July shirt was seen...  :(  **

June 7th, 2012

Everyone knows that I am a HUGE Hunger Games Fan (thanks to Misty)...and I begged and BEGGED Sarah to read them too and she loved them as much as I did!  I really wanted to take her to see it before it went out of the theatre.  I begged and begged her to come to see it with me, she finally agreed and her boyfriend Colin agreed to come with us. ( Matt had to work, again, boo).  One of the few theatres that was playing it was in Pleasant Grove. The five of us made the trek down.  SINCE it was in Pleasant Grove-  I thought I would ask Misty to come see it for the FIFTH time with me...and amazingly enough she said YES.  Her sweet hubby took their kids + Lauren to see a kiddie movie (Jamie wanted to come with me to see Hunger Games again for his FOURTH time...LOL...).  I can't wait for the second movie to come out and they haven't even started filming it yet!  At least the movie comes out on DVD in less than a month!!!!  What a cute bunch we are!!

When I came home from the movies, Matt had picked up his first pair of glasses on his lunch break, woot woot!  He is such a little hottie in these things.  I never expected to feel that way, but dang...he just keeps getting better with time!

The next day...June 8th we headed out on our camping trip to Jordanelle.  We got there about 6 p.m. and it was PERFECT there.  I saw the spot I wanted last year and this year we GOT IT.  Lakeside!!  

The kids loved playing on the beach, throwing rocks and chasing birds!

It was so fun to cook on Matt's new mini-Weber grill.  Our hamburgers were delicious! Jamie found these "Harry Potter" sticks...that kid cracks me up!

Look at these two cuties roasting marshmallows!  MMMM!

Who could resist these?!  SOO good!  I love a campfire...SOOO much!

The kid loves legos.  Such a boy!

The campfire in the dark, sooo relaxing.  I could do that every night!

That night, inside the RV, we watched Matt and I's first movie we ever saw together BATMAN FOREVER.  Jamie loved it and Lauren kept saying how cute Val Kilmer was!  We crashed early and we were all up early for some yummy breakfast made by ME.  Matt gave me the ultimate compliment telling me that his mom would be proud of me.  We headed out on the boat.  It is such my happy place, I am glad that my kids like it too.  Cute Jamie in the sun.  I trusted him to put sunscreen on and he missed his cheeks...so he got a little burned on those chubby cheeks.

Lauren had a "V8" mustache...silly girl.

SILLIER Jamie!!!  Who falls asleep WHILE boating.  Yup-Jamie.  I told Matt that he HAS to know that Jamie is his kid...he is such a crazy sleeper!  SERIOUSLY!

Cute Lauren wasn't even tired.  She was having a blast!

SO....two years ago, I was helping taking the awning down and I dropped a part INTO the lake.  Matt was so mad at me and I was so sad.  WELL...in some sort of dream he came up with this crazy replacement part made up of sprinkler parts and my snow-scraper (a small sacrifice to make up for my stupidity).  What a handyman I am married to!  It worked perfectly!

Matt was such a good sport and jumped into the freezing cold water!

Another shot of Lars.

Aww.....that is my ENTIRE world, right there!

I asked Jamie to re-create his "this water is cold" face...silly kid.

He also had to do some "Turtleman" poses....we all love "The Call of the Wildman"...if you haven't seen it, you totally need to check it out. "Live Action!"

Matt relaxing in the shade.  My Aunt Anita bought him and Jamie these shirts and they both wear them all the time.

After some swimming, Jamie was pooped again.  He took a little napper-o.

After boating, bathing, and cooking some chicken...I took the kids to play on the playground.  Here was our spot (in the middle) from afar.

The kids thought they were so funny.  They were teasing Matt because he went for two days without Starbucks...they put a picture of "his girlfriend" by his bed.  LOL.

That night we watched "Journey 2" and Jamie was the first to crash....crazy sleeper...he is UPSIDE DOWN!

The next day we were up early again to pack and to fish.  Here is PROOF that I was there!  Hellloooo!

This melts my heart.....I love them all soooo!

OF COURSE...on the drive home, Jamie falls asleep...sitting up....

I love going out on the RV...I could go out every weekend!  Jamie...next to the garbage.  Cracks me up!

I just HAD to add this picture.  Tonight, as I was blogging....I found Jamie like this!  I thought he had been in bed for a while....I guess he had been too tired to make it all the way to the top.  What a funny kid.
