Who has time to blog when you're ...

busy painting zebra print on your neighbor's walls...

I looked at this sweater as I painted.
My neighbor Judy, redecorated her daughter's bedroom for a birthday surprise.  I suggested painting Zebra on one wall and volunteered myself to do it.  It was a fun project.  Judy is constantly helping me with projects so I was happy to have a way to help her.  The room turned out so cute.  Her daughter loved it!

Having fun in Yellowstone with Mark's old pal Cory, and his kids over the 4th of July weekend...

Taking kids to swimming lessons...

Cole had been talking about jumping off the diving board forever, but when it came time to do it, he froze.  We were laughing at him hanging on by his toes, but it didn't work for long, his teacher pushed him in.

 Camping with cousins...
.Jordon thought they should pose like rockstars.
showing off their bird feeders

Enjoying Mark's company party...
The kid's face painting was hilarious! Our favorite, was our friend's little girl that asked for a one-eyed cat-LOL!

Taking time to smell eat flowers...

 Having a fun weekend getaway with just Mark in Yellowstone...
It was so nice to be able to hike all the trails that the kids wouldn't be able to do.  The view of the canyon was so pretty early in the morning.
Our neighbors had a nice mountain man booth in West Yellowstone.
This is a real bear's paw that Mary hollowed out and made into a little purse.  It was kind of gross, but was one of the first things sold.  Mary makes all sorts of cool things with furs that her husband traps. 
Playing at Bear Lake...
 Going to the funnest Demolition Derby in Laketown...
Visiting the caves...
James and Tabitha and kids spent the weekend with us in Bear Lake.

 And Grandma Weaver...
 Growing a Garden...
 We have played more this summer than we ever have.  (We got some cool projects done too--a deck, patio, and a fence-yeah!) It has been a wonderful summer.  I am so sad that it is almost over :( One more day left before school starts and then we are camping this weekend for Labor Day.
