July!

I've realized since getting ready to move and moving that I don't take pictures anymore. I've turned into the mother I swore I wouldn't become. I have a million pictures of the 1st and 2nd, but not so many of the 3rd. So today I'm going to change that.

There's a boy in my ward who plays basketball for the high school team, which is a big deal here, and he is doing a little basketball camp for the boys who want to learn the basics. He is such a great coach. I put my boys in it and Porter absolutely loves it. Logan more or less is going because I make him:). He likes it when he's there, but it's getting there that kills him.

We're in the middle of a nasty HEAT wave, and this is outside but the kids all do great. They take lots of drink breaks and cool off in the mister's.

Since moving Olivia has felt a new sort of freedom. She is no longer confined in her crib and now sleeps in a big girl bed. She thinks she owns the place. After laying her down each night she usually changes her clothes at least 3-5 times. She changes from different jammies, to day clothes, to her swimming suit. We also cannot mention anything to do with water or else she'll run upstairs and change into her "Whimm Wuit". She is a little monkey.

Since being here she got her first black eye by falling off the neighbors swing set and a million other little bruises from trying to keep up with her big brothers.
