Roberts' Wrap-up: July

July hasn't been a super busy month, but don't expect a short post. We still have plenty of things to share. Here are a few of our July happenings...

* We found out we were expecting twins!

* We celebrated a belated birthday for McKenna.

Sydney was at girls camp and we were camping during McKenna's birthday so we celebrated it a little late so we could all be together. McKenna is a fun little 3 year old.

* Ken spent a couple of days in Vegas and Southern Utah for his work.

* The boys (minus Daric) went on a ward father and son's campout. They all had a great time.

* Just to make things even the next weekend the girls had a daddy/daughter campout in the backyard. They set up the tent, made smores on the BBQ, and watched a movie on the laptop. They loved it.


* Tyler gave his first talk in sacrament meeting. He is only 9, but our family had the opportunity to do sacrament meeting at an assisted living center in our stake. He did awesome! I was so proud of him.

* Ken cleared out TONS of bushes and shrub debry from the side of the house. HALLELUJAH! That was a huge mess and a very big job. Thanks, Honey!

* We got a new dishwasher! (in June actually, but it's still worthy of mention) My dishes are clean again. It is a lovely sight.

* The upstairs bathroom toilet clogged and overflowed. It leaked down to the main floor AND to the basement. About seven spots in the kitchen ceiling began leaking as well as the main floor bathroom. The basement above the pool table and in the storage room leaked as well. I'll spare you any pictures, but you can imagine it was no fun. I shouldn't complain however because Ken and I were just returning home from a date when we found out what happened and AFTER it was mostly all cleaned up. Yuck!
It was Ken's sister, Tami, that got stuck with cleaning the mess. She is one terrific Aunt/sister!

*On Pioneer Day we didn't do anything pioneery, but Ken did have the day off and we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheeses where a kid can be a kid.

* I made it through my first trimester AND I got my hair done. Two very wonderful things! Here's a picture of me at 12 weeks along. I know I look like I'm just about due, but that shirt isn't helping. I'm big, but not quite THAT big.


Well that is some of our July. Can't believe tomorrow is August. Wow! The kids will be back to school before I know it. Crazy!

Hope you all are having a fabulous summer!
