Summer Fun Times

This summer has been a pretty mellow one, but still fun and busy. We have only had one trip--to AZ-- and haven't really been camping yet. We have a camping trip planned for August, but other than that, we are plan free! So, what have we been doing to fill our time? Running, Young Women stuff for church, plenty of play dates, chores, shopping, movies, and playing with Archie. Mike and I went on our first date in AGES (Archie came too, but it still TOTALLY counts!) the other day, to see a movie, and we are still enjoying the memories! Here are some other things we have been doing:

Archie tried out his big-baby-bed once or twice. Not too successfully I might add; the boy doesn't like to lay down flat. But, on a happier note, he is sleeping 8 hours at a time almost every night!

Yet another money-making scheme. A successful one too, once they went door to door and made phone calls.

Mike and I hosted a work bbq at our house. Thanks Johnsons for the painters tarp slip-n-slide idea! Only two employees couldn't come and we had yummy pulled pork, giant volleyball and other fun times! It's nice to like the people you work with.

Harmony and Had Abogi took the kids Cherry picking in Emmett. They got to pick at a friend's house and that meant climbing on the roof! Lucy loved it...

Elliott just made it to the ladder.

The kids made super-sidewalk chalk pictures at our neighbors', Sonya and Ron's house. He has his artist daughter outline pictures, then the kids sit on special chalk-drawing-rugs, and fill them in. Then Ron sprays on a coat of clear paint and the pictures stay for weeks. The kids got to do this twice and they loved it. Now a day doesn't go by that Lucy doesn't ask if she can go visit Ron!



Even Archie got to join in the chalk fun....he watched.

We went to a local indoor play center--Just Kidding Around-- and the kids found a new favorite destination.

We discovered that Archie is pretty darn good at tummy time!

While Mike and I were on our date, Harmony took Lucy and Elliott to a nearby splash-pad,

And we celebrated Archie's Baek-il; his Korean 100 day birthday. I am going to post pictures, but I have to do it separately because there are so many! It will hopefully be soon, but I am also trying to rescue pictures of Lucy and Elliott's Baek-ils from the other computer so I can post those too. I'm not very tech savvy, so it may take some doing! but stay tuned, they are coming!
