July Extra Photos

 This time before we rented our house out on Airbnb we decided to lock both the closet in our room and in Sam's room so that we didn't have to clean them out and we could store stuff in them.  So I bought 2 clothing racks for the renters to use.  I was so surprised how little the box was that the rack came in!

Camryn's first time in a store since March.  She had an eye appointment at Costco at the end of June.

Stolen pictures from VISCO

I love when the daisy's bloom in the front yard!

After spending all day cleaning for the renters I showed up at my moms house and Camryn said I looked like the Barbie she was playing with.  I can see the similarities for sure :)

It's a good day when Colie convinces these guys to play anything other than Hearts.  Cover Your Assets for the win!

Hair cut for Camryn:

Sam's 17th Birthday

 Blogger is driving me crazy putting the pictures in the wrong order!!!  But I'm too lazy to choose them all again and hope they load correctly!  So here are Sam's birthday celebrations from the end to the beginning.  

Real birthday celebration:

Trying out her new record player:

Covid clapping the candles out (she chose cookie dough for her bday treat)

Family party the weekend before her birthday:

I can't remember what game we were playing.  We had to roll the dice and stop at the right time to get points.  (Not farkle though!)

She chose a homemade ice cream cake for this celebration:

The cousins and Cam always worship Sam on her birthday...

Tubing the Green River

 I went tubing with Rebecca and Heidi on the Green River.  We floated from Flaming Geyser State Park to a bridge not too far away.  So.  Much. Fun.  It was a beautiful day to be on the river!

Covington Friends

When we lived in Covington we had some really great friends.  Since then, so many of our great friends from those days have moved out of state.  We lucked out and had the Tyler's and Cahoon's in town on the same day so we invited some of the still local people to come swim and BBQ so we could visit them.  It was so fun to have this group together.  I miss them!!!

It was a beautiful day and me and these 3 were on or near the lake all day long.  The Dances came over earlier in the day and then our friends started showing up.  

Nothing makes me happier than a giant, somewhat social distanced (haha), circle of people hanging out at my house.  

The little crew (Ella, isn't really "little" but she is good enough to hang with them"

I was so sad Allison was out of town this day.  These are some of her favorite peeps and she would have loved to have seen them.  

 

Silver Falls Hike

Allison found this Silver Falls hike on social media and wanted to do it.  Unfortunately she wasn't with us when we went, but we really enjoyed it.  (don't worry she got to do it later with some friends).
