Still here.....

Here it is, another 3 months has passed I haven't updated my blog.  So here's what we have done in the last 3 months (ish!!).  There's a lot of pictures.  Bear with me!

We painted A and S's room FROM blue to yellow.  The lower part we painted white. It looks nice.  We also added a BUNCH of bookshelves.  Bookshelves we desperately needed!!
 B is growing well.  I loved this little outfit a close friend crocheted for her!!
 We went to the park - several times.
 E loves her blanket.
 A got done with orchestra.  She was with her cousin.  But not.  At different schools, but in the same program and they do the concert with the whole program, so they got to play with a whole lot of kids.
 We've been up to see Granny and Grandpa a lot.
 A ran in the Wellsville mile - and got 2nd place in her heat.  She was VERY proud of herself. (we were proud of her, too, but more importantly, she had fun!)
 O finished preschool, at Grandma's house, with her cousin in her class.
 B turned 1 month old.
 K got the position of Squire in reading at school (a big accomplishment for a 1st grader!!) The program is Accelerated Reader.  They take reading comprehension tests and get points. From the points, the kids get different positions depending on how many points they have.
 A and S got the position of Reading Counts Royalty at school, only 6 kids in the school got it - 5 of them being 5th graders, and S, a 3rd grader! A was the top reader at school.
 The hubby and the girls froze and got VERY wet at Hill Air Force Base's air show.
 We went to my mom's family's graves for Memorial Day.
 We played water games for an out-of-school party at Grandma's house.
 We went and took pictures at Granny and Grandpa's ranch:





 We watched Cache Bones (trombone choir) play at Uintah days (I got to play the piano part on Pink Panther. It was scary!!
 We've build things with cardboard.  And made a huge mess with it!
 We met cousins at the park:

 B turned 2 months old
 We climbed Aunt Bigleman's tree for cherries.
 Picked a lot of cherries,
 And made a lot of pie filling (83 quarts this year, I think!!)
 Played with play-doh
 Blessed B (the same dress her sister's wore for their blessing days!)
 And dressed her in the outfit her dad wore for HIS blessing.

 Picked raspberries
 My parents were honored as being the Grand Marshall of their hometown parade (it was a huge surprise for them!)
 Lit off fireworks
 Climbed a building to watch more fireworks

 Watched a parade
 Slept through a parade (until the firetrucks woke her up. they were noisy.)
 Painted matching shirts (except dad.  He didn't want one, the party pooper!)
 Played with cousins some more
 Sat in the truck and watched MORE fireworks
 Slept in a teepee

 Rode a train
 Rode some ponies (no this is not my kid-o!!  It is Bigleman #2!)
 Took gymnastic "lessons" with the cousins
 And watched the lessons with the little ones.
We've had a lot of fun! Here's to the rest of summer!!
