My mom brought home this cute little maze and Jake took it seriously. He put his hat on and left the home to find his way to the Temple. It was really cute because he came back in side the house saying to all the kids..."Come with me I need to take you somewhere really special!" They all left then returned elated exclaiming, "Mom, we went to the Temple, we found our way there!" Honestly, they are just adorable.
Mr. Chubbo is going to be loosing his baby weight here shortly. He's beginning the adventures of crawling.
So this is the kids summer routine. I return home from running. Then I read...alone. They snuggle and watch a cartoon. Seriously, this has been an awesome summer! (I mean all three weeks and all!) Not to mention they have been sleeping in till 8am. Hip Hip Hooray!
A little family reunion and farewell party. This is Jared's grandmother who has been really sick for several months. But honestly, she's back home and looking and doing beautifully! It was such a special treat to have her there with us. I loved being with her again.
The entire gang. We had quite the mixed party. We had cousins from both sides of the family. It was wonderful to be reunited with everyone again. It's been too long!
Too bad there was a sun spot in this picture, but these are Jared's WONDERFUL grandparents. I can't praise them enough. We just adore them. Also in the picture is Jared's cousin and wife. They currently live in Peru. It's been about three years since we saw each other last and it was so enjoyable to be with then and visit again.
This is classic Ben face. He is so darling. Really, how am I going to leave him for four days...ahhh, I'm starting to miss him already.
This is one tired kid. I'll post the other pictures here soon about the Balloon festival. We woke up at 5:30am to see the balloons. We returned home at 12:30. The kids napped. Then Caleb woke up at 4pm from his nap. Then he fell back asleep from just walking down the stairs from his nap. He then slept till about 5:30pm. I think he was tired?

That is such a cute picture of you eith Jared's grandma, and such a darling 4th family photo! You are such a fun Mom. Seriously, Ben looks like he is doing a push up. He is tough! Tell him to quit crawling and stay little!
I did not know your family was into shooting. I want to hear your story. I will go running again...I feel like I have not slowed down this July (I am sure you know the feeling).
