July 4th Celebrations

Bike Parade

Mt. Madonna Camping

A few days after we got back from Costa Rica we decided to pack up again and go camping for a few nights. We camped at Mt. Madonna, only about an hour from home. It was the first time using our tent trailer and it was a wonderful trip.
After we set up camp, we headed into Watsonville to pay a visit to one of our favorite places, Freedom Meat Locker. Yum!

Avery enjoyed her very first smore!! She is usually pretty picky and will only eat the chocolate. This time we convinced her to try one out...she ate 2 and loved them!!

Avery spent a lot of time making blue jay traps. She was intent on catching one and inspecting it. Unfortunately, not one was trapped, but she did find a blue jay feather.

This kid loves marshmallows!

Funny Faces

This happened at the end of May. Riley was running down the hallway, tripped, and bumped her eye on the corner of the wall. The poor love looked awful.

Starcraft Tent Trailer

These pics were taken while in mid-cleanup, but I did not take any before we folded it up. We recently sold our Komfort trailer and bought this awesome tent trailer. We can't wait to try it out.

MRI

Ry was supposed to go in for her MRI tomorrow, but she is sick so it is postponed. Bummer! No signs or symptoms of anything going on so we are not worried in the slightest. Next update on that when we find out the new scheduled date.

Oh and I know I am super behind on blogging so I will try to update soon, but here are some things we have been up to:

- Trip to Oregon to visit my Aunt/Uncle/and grandparents
- White trash birthday bash for my dear friend Heather
- Field trip to a farm and kite flying :)
- BBQ birthday bash for Jaron's 32nd! Of course, complete with smoked ribs, chicken, and pazookie for dessert.
- Started watching a 3 month old boy Jacob yesterday. So much fun, but my free time is now nonexistent.

There ya go.

Update: The Challenge

I blogged a while back about The Challenge I am participating in. I thought I would post an update so that you do not think I have dropped out...but I also had to brag a bit. :)

It has been 4 weeks and I have lost 7 pounds. Yahoo! I still have 4 weeks to go so I am pumped to see that my hard work has been paying off and that I am still going to lose more.

But, the competition is fierce. My gals have been doing awesome as well. Maybe I need to start dropping off those cinnamon rolls at Molly's doorstep and peppermint icecream at Heather's. hmmmmm.....
