There were a bunch of really funny shots of the kids spinning like crazy on the tire swing. Their expressions were priceless! I wanted to post more, but decided to spare everyone. =)
This is our little Cody after he was running down the hill and wiped out. Side note: I taught him how to say "wipe out" this summer, only it sounds like "wip. ot." So funny. Codster was already in a foul mood because Missy put him in time out after he pushed JJ off the TOP of the slide! It was not good. He decided to sit in time out for probably 15 minutes before he was ready to say sorry! What a little stinker. =)
Max discovered that he loves watermelon. He just buried his face in that thing and sucked on it like mad. He got furious and squealed when he couldn't get a good suction on it. I have it on video and it is sooo funny. I wish I could figure out how to post videos on the blog! BTW, I hate using my small camera. After using the digital slr, it feels like I have zero control with that thing. 
Max and Nana. This picture made me laugh! This is Max's new cheesy smile that he does now. And apparently Nana is practicing her cheesy smile too. I love it! 
My mom and dad flew in to town Saturday night to take Jordan back to BYU and switch dorms for fall. My dad got to stay until Wednesday and my mom stayed until this morning! I love, love, love, my parents and I always have so much fun when they come to visit. Our big project this week was picking out a paint color for my living room and kitchen. Unfortunately, I am as indecisive as I am perfectionistic. Not a good combination. My wall looks like a patchwork quilt, but I think we finally got it figured out (after about 7 samples of paint). I was torn between Restoration hardware's silver sage and Benjamin Moore turquoise mist. So i took in my gallons to Ace hardware and had them dump it all in a five gallon bucket and mix it all together. 4:1 ratio. I'm pretty sure all parties involved were ready to kill me (Mom, Dad, Danny, Ace Hardware paint guy). My mom and I also went antiquing and found some great vintage linens and I found an AMAZING antique dresser (depression era) at a yard sale for $25 buckaroos! I am sooo psyched. It is so charmingly shabby chic and the perfect size for my formal living room and has the most gorgeous hardware and I just love it. And for so cheap! I live for good deals. My mom also helped us get a handle on our flower beds and organized my kitchen cabinets. She even did our laundry. Gawl. She is seriously the best! Max totally loves her too. She is my very best friend.
PEACH DAYS
Danny and I used to live in Brigham City and we loooove peach days. This year we just had to go and take Max, and of course Nana, and Darren and Hadley! We also met up with the lovely Lindsey, on of my best pals since we were 11! She's the best. We spent 90% of the evening stuffing our faces with peach related dishes, which honestly is what the whole thing is all about in my book. Hadley won this little stuffed dog in the balloon dart game and she was so in love with it.
Celebrate America
Saturday night was the Celebrate America performance in Logan with Brenda and her family. it was this so cheesy song and dance performance to honor veterans, but the cast was actually amazing and I had a lot of respect for all the men and women in the crowd who served our country (many of them in WWII!). The story is, Brenda's whole family takes her 82-year-old grandfather to this thing every year and despite the fact that he has a hard time walking, he dances ALL NIGHT LONG. We had a blast! I got to do the two step with grandpa up on stage (yikes!) and Brenda was a dancin' fool. I saved Danny a few dances too. =)
Wow! You have been busy. I can't believe you came to Peach Days and I didn't even see you- I figured you had been busy due to the lack of blogging:) You have some fun pictures though, and I think the photography thing is a great idea/deal!
