We were only home for a little over a week in all of JULY: 1st, 2nd, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 29th, 30th, 31st. 11 days to be exact!

We still managed lots of fun in that time:

Millie and Tiago have become the neighborhood wanderers. They are always outside looking for friends.

I read a few books!

This guy learned how to take selfies:

Cali got her braces touched up:

The Hancocks came and they all put on a circus show:

Packer still wakes up before everyone – usually he makes a lego creation while he waits for everyone to wake up. And his creations inspire the rest of us to give it a try:

A few movie night sleepovers in the basement:

I got my bike out for the Relief Society bike ride. Then i rode 3 mornings on my own before we left on vacation.

We went to the pond with the Hancocks and we brought Bennett and Ellie and Julia:

Tiago is learning to ride the hoverboard – look at that face of pure joy!!

The Friday before our California trip I left in the morning to get the oil changed and car cleaned and errands done… and then I ended up spending the entire day dealing with a broken van :(. I did the oil change at Walmart and when I left the shop the van died on the side of the road… I spent over an hour trying to get help from Walmart or JIffyLube or Larkin Tire… and then I finally had it towed .2 miles to a hidden car shop. The guys there were great and fixed the Mass Air Flow Filter Sensor. So I took my van and my bill back to Walmart and spent the afternoon getting them to pay for the damages that they made while checking my air filter. FUN FUN FUN. I did see Aunt Carol while I was there… and a few others I know. In the end I am grateful that I got my money back and grateful that the shop was able to get the van fixed before the weekend so we could go on our trip.

The kids survived at home without me:

I took a few of the kids to Kelsey Avila’s wedding reception!!

And BRADEN EGGERS came home from his mission in Sao Paulo Brasil. We couldn’t be there but looking forward to a week at the cabin with him:

And we had balloon fights the next day with Noah:

And Kelsey came and we went to see all of our peops: We stopped to see Jana and Sean and Cove, We brought Aunt Di a birthday cupcake while she recouped from knee surgery, and we stopped in to see how aunt Carol and the puppies were doing!
