You know how it is when summer rolls around...
too hot and too tired to do much...
but it is my most favorite time of year...
I sit outside all day watching the girls play and working on my tan...
I love it!
It seems that when it's time to do the laundry or dishes or clean the house, I just don't even care cuz I would rather be outside with the kids...
sometimes when Chris comes home from work he pulls out a chair and joins me...
it calls for the 8 o'clock dinners and 11:30pm bedtimes...
but if you know me at all, you know I couldn't give a flying squirrel's A$$ about any of that...
I just love to be outside taking it all in!
This year for the first time in ten years, we attended the Bountiful parade for the celebration of the 24th of July...
they had planned for a very special ending to the parade that we had only heard about a couple of days before...
there were 2,000 boys dressed up as the stripling warriors from old time Mormon stories and it was breathtaking...
super cool to see...
I looked at Chris and asked to think about if this was all real, like when it was real and what their parents were thinking watching their boys all join together like that...
it was sorta surreal...
apparently the span of the boys marching was 400 yards...
it was truly spectacular...
but to this little girlie...
it was just another loud and boring parade...
hahaha
my good friend and neighbor invited me along for a fabulous girls day...
it consisted of eating the very best cheeseburger ever for lunch and getting our tootsies pampered and rubbed and painted all cute...
it was heaven!
We were looking at oldies of Chris the other day and these were a couple that had us all in stitches...
sorry it's turned but it was on my phone and I couldn't right it out...
seriously...look at all those dimples
We spent a few days at my parents cabin and it was delightful...
but the very instant we got home and unpacked a few bags, miss Adders found my make-up and applied some mascara to her eyes all by herself...
it was pretty funny...
Our new favorite thing to do is paint ourselves with wet chalk...
it's so cool when it dries on your skin...
it's all bright and fun...
except I warn you to shy away from the blue chalk if you do this...
it tends to look like bruises on the skin and it stains your clothes...
poor Jenner still has a little bit of blue on her scalp...
and even worse than that, the next day her neck looked all bruised up and suspicious...
it was crazy looking, like someone had tried to srangle her...
so, stay away from the blue for sure...
Toodles!
