In July we made a trip to Idaho, here are some highlights:
Our ten year class reunion!
JULY 3- Blessing Katie:
4th of July! Spent the afternoon on The Range with the cousins:
We got to spend a lot of time with JD, Liz, and Cami for the last time before their move to TX! Here are Cami and Katie, in little twinner outfits!
The second week of July Steve took his scout troup to Treasure Mt Scout Camp for the week. He had a great time. We spent the week at Nana and Grandpa's house. Here is Wyatt spending some time with us. When in doubt, just wear underwear!
I spent much of the time while Steve was away making a family Tree- if I get ahold of a picture will edit this post.
Steve had the camera with him at Scout Camp, but we had a really awesome Shively Family reunion at Heise Hot Springs. We had the camp site all to ourselves and I for one had an awesome time. (Refer to the Egbert Family Update Blog for details...) Good Job MOM!
We left Idaho on July 20th- Nana and Great Grandma Egbert made the drive with us since Dad drove back to California w the Scouts. It was so awesome to have them here for a few days! Little did I know, Steve actually left our camera at his parents' house in Idaho, so no pictures of Nana and Great Grandma!
So now that we are back in town, we spend many of our days at the pool. Jackson is trying to drop his nap, but this is what happens when he goes swimming:
He is swimming on his own as long as he can hold his breath. He hasn't figured out how to come up for air yet. But he is getting close! He isn't afraid of the water, and he absolutely refuses to wear his "shark" a swimming life-jacket.
Here's Katie's first time in the pool . It was a little chilly so we didn't stay in for long! But Katie loves bath time and she didn't fuss at all in the pool, so I think she will be loving it before long!
Other things keeping us busy:
We had some friends over to make cheese and shake butter. Not bad for a first try. Wouldn't be complete without some home made bread! Here's our yummy lunch. (The green is some fresh basil from our "Aerogarden")
My Pregnancy Buddy (she and I were due the same time), Daisy, and I threw a New Baby of 2011 Party for all the new babies in our ward (some used to be in our ward or will be in the future). It was so much fun to see all the babies rolling around on the floor!
We put up their pictures and Stats- thanks to Daisy's cousins for making it look so cool! And thanks to Steve for putting all the clothespins back together after we took them apart to paint them! Here are the little kiddos from oldest to youngest! I don't have a good copy of the picture.
And this is a horrible picture- not sure what's up with my camera! But here are all the moms and babes. We are still missing four from our ward born so far in 2011 and there is a big bunch yet to come before the year is out!
And here is Katie in her party dress:
Anyway we are loving our little family and enjoying the last few weeks of my maternity leave! I'm currently looking for a solution to my blog apathy-stay tuned!
