Boy meets wall!











I always wondered about those huge holes/dents you see in the drywall when wandering through a house and how it got there, turns out there's usually a kid in the house. Our sweet Cash did a head dive on the stairs, accidentally of course! The um, wall stopped his fall. The end result, a huge strawberry on his forehead and another patch to fix in the drywall. We figured he'd have a huge goose egg on his head but apparently the wall was weaker than him. This stopped him in his tracks for a good 20 minutes and then he was up and running around, probably wondering how he could reinact that one for his friends next time they come over. He really likes to retell stories and lately he's been telling us about his dreams. well I'm going to keep this short, things have been busy but not anything really interesting to tell. We have been to the lake a few times, the water is the perfect temp. The other pictures are what happens when you leave a dad and son alone with access to eyeliner. The first time Evin did it, Cash looked in the mirror and cried, we think it scared him. The next time he asked for Evin to put his "face" on. I think he looks a circus Ringleader.

Where did June go?





Well I've been a little distracted lately. We've had lots of family staying at our house. We had a good 4th of July weekend, we spent one day at the lake and had lots of fun. We also celebrated our Nephew Colton's 10th birthday last weekend. Right now Evin's brother and sister in law are staying with us, they just moved here from Oregon. Evin's sister and our niece and nephew are also visiting from Nevada. Evin's dad was also here visiting from California. We've had a good time with everyone. Cash enjoyed the fireworks this year, he really likes the loud bangs. I've been working off and on, this week has been busy for me. I've slowed down on my coupon shopping mostly due to lack of time and energy. Also there hasn't been anything worth fighting over, since almost everyone is in on the coupon shopping the items are usually gone if you don't get to the store early enough on the first day or right after they have restocked. The other reason is my pantry is stocked enough that I can just watch for the extremely good sales. We planted a garden this year and I have forgotten to water it a few times. I've had good luck so far with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and a few strawberries. Cash has enjoyed sampling and picking the ripe ones. We got him a kiddie pool which he has been playing with, I usually don't like to sit out there unless the backyard has shade. Well not much for now, hope everyone is doing well. There is a picture of Evin's brother, dad, Evin and Cash. I also forgot to mention we took a picture of Cash sleeping under our bed, we looked for him everywhere except where he was, he went to hide and fell asleep. Right now he'll try to avoid his bed because sleep is a bad thing!D
