Where did the summer go?

Whoa, how has it been so long since I last posted?  Yikes!  An entire summer has gone by!  Well, here ya go, the summer in a few quickish posts.  Here comes July:

Cameron playing dress-up

Here we are at the Eaton Days parade.  Look at us being involved in the community events.  The boys loved all the junk that they passed out at the parade, and Gary was excited to chase down all the parade marchers in search of candy for the "boys."

Good grief!  I have too many babies to take care of :)  Good thing they're so stinkin' cute!

Marcy sent us this selfie (quadruple-sie?) of the big boys and Brenda before they left over the mountains to come to Grand Junction.  I love this pic-so cute!

We always seem to pick the hottest week of the year to visit Grand Junction.  Seriously, I think every single day it was at least in the high 90s if not 100s.  Sheesh!  A pool was a definite must, and the boys loved crashing into each other.  

I love, love, love, both these pictures of Cameron and Grandma White making minion cupcakes.  Apparently Cameron didn't want his picture taken, but he had so much fun making this fun treat and was so proud.    Do you see those little eyeballs in the corner peeking up to see what's going on?

Holden gave us his first smiles this month.  Yay!  It's a good thing, because he had been a pretty colicky baby in the evenings.  I guess one out of five babies ain't too bad, but I have the least amount of energy and patience to deal with it.  I did cut out dairy from my diet and that seemed to help.  He was so gassy and throwing up all the time so I knew his tummy was bothering him.  

I know I've said this three million times, but how beautiful is the view from my parents' backyard?  

Look at what a good mom I am!  My children are all sitting quietly coloring pictures.  This happens ALL the time.  HAHAHAHAHA!  

Jaxson was more interested in coloring on the table I think.

Not amused

Oh my goodness we have had the weirdest, wettest, cool summer.  I'm not complaining-I love the cooler weather, but look at all that water.  SO unusual for us in the middle of the summer!

My biggest boy lost his second tooth in Grand Junction.  The tooth fairy was able to find him at Grandma's house.  He was so cute because he totally was gripping the tooth under his pillow in an effort to catch the tooth fairy.  It took "her" like ten minutes to trade out the tooth for money.
