Popcorn

M feel asleep eating popcorn, with a kernel under his chin and his hand in the bag. Husband stopped quickly and M threw his hands up in the air, like a newborn waking up. Since his hand was in the bag, POPCORN!

4th of July Festivities

Party time at Cheryl the Great's

Cell phone pics

J requested two piggies and two braids

I painted my bathroom on a whim. When you find a beautiful shade of Oops paint for super cheao, you just have to buy it.

Taylor G had a birthday party and proved that a Barbie cake dress is still the coolest.thing.ever. when you are turning 4.

They even made a fun photo backdrop.

M made cannons out of the shopvac extensions.

 Boom!

J loves her Barbie? Not sure what the circumstances were behind the picture. Oh well

It only took me five years and a few missed New Year's Resolutions, but I finished my 1000 paper cranes. I should really take a nice style picture of the achievement, but I was proud of this at 11pm and needed to send it to my sister. Thank you Grey's Anatomy for making this possible.

Bogo Coldstone in my birthday month? Yes please. Since it was free, I allowed them to order the blue gummy bear abomination you see.

This will be a beautiful jean quilt. It might take me four years, but there is progress happening!

I love how they pass out in interesting ways.

This girl knows how to get her mom to let her take candy to church. But it matched so well!

Maidename Cousins Day 2

Guys, June completely disappeared on me. Gone. Poof! I taught 30 classes in 30 days (which I'm kind of proud of so I've probably already told most of you). So in a "I should really write a blog post. I'll just clean out my phone" moment I discovered the 2nd half of the Maidename cousins sleep over.

We started the day out practicing some yoga

Then we headed to the park before it became disgustingly hot. This angel was happy camped out in this swing the entire time.

We sort of made one cousin a little sick on the new version of a tire swing.

M became the king of the slide

We also sat and watched the ducks and geese.

The merry-go-round was a crowd favorite.

 This kid climbed all the the up there on her own. I didn't help her at all

 This is my favorite picture

Then we headed to Big Sis's house for a "feast" her daughter requested after seeing pictures on a cruise. Natalia was coming home from camp so we did it for her, hence the N carved into the watermelon.

Big Sis nailed it with this delicious cake.

Then the whole crowd played away on the waterslide.

We had so much fun hosting them and can't wait to do it again!
