We are going to miss the Whites! Since we're leaving out of town tomorrow, today was the last day to get together with the Whites and snap a few more family pics. They all turned out gorgeous. How could they not with a family this beautiful!

The boys are getting as much time and as many sleepovers as they can before Cayden moves. Tonight they were being pretty silly putting in the craziest costumes they could come up with.

Went to see Harry Potter for my third time and this one was definately one of my favorites since I got to go with Holly and Shanna... my Harry Potter gang. I love these girls. They are two of the prettiest and funniest gals I know and I couldn't think of any other people in the world that I would want to share this experience with more. Thanks for such a fun evening girls! Holly, Thanks again my ticket and dinner!!! You are too sweet.

Today was book club today and we went out to lunch and afterwards stopped by See's Candy for national lillipop day. Free suckers for everyone PLUS our free sample. YUMMY.

I'm going to have so many pictures of Audrey's toys. She loves me to take pictures of all the things she sets up. Pet shops, Squinkies, and today... a start of a zoo. She kind of reminds me of Andy from Toy Story the way she loves to play with toys.

For book club this month we are reading Adriana Trigiani's The Queen of the Big Time. Since book club is on Wednesday, I knew I needed to buckle down and read this novel. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this book. I love Trigiani's writing. Her characters are real and it's easy to fall in love with them, faults and all. It was easy to sit and read it all in a day because it was just so well written. My frustration came from the heart ache that came from the main character, Nella, and her refusal to realize that she had made the right choices and her inability to let go of the past. Uggh. It made me want to huck the book across the room. Anyway. This is the first book of Adriana Trigiani that I have read and I would definately pick up another one!

Jason and Stan took the boys riding this weekend. They rode Friday, spent the night, and then rode again most of Saturday. The boys had sooooooo much fun and Ethan can't wait to go again. It's all he thinks about.

FINALLY!!! The kids and I have been waiting for almost seven months for Deathly Hallows Part 2 to come out. We went to the midnight showing and technically, this picture was taken on July 15th since it was taken around 2:30am. We all loooooooooved it and this was my opening night crew. Meagan, Audrey, Blake, and Ethan. The best part was being able to share it with all of the other HP diehards and loved with the whole audience would laugh, cry, and cheer together. So glad that I decided to go tonight.

Ethan, Audrey, and their friends decided to play a game of Monopoly this afternoon. By the time I snapped this picture, they had already been playing for two hours. What committment. My kids have been obsessed with Monopoly the last few weeks!

Went out back to bug the boys and to grab a picture. We are still in denial about the fact that Cayden is moving in just a few weeks. The boys have been such good friends the last few years and we're all going to miss him and all the Whites!

Had to go get our free slurpee from 7-Eleven on 7/11/11. Audrey sharing hers with one of her stuffies as always.

Took some pictures of the beautiful Wellborn family today and I love, love, love this picture of the kids. What gorgeous kiddos!

SO, SO Happy!! This picture was actually taken on July 4th, but I had pretty much given up hope that we would every see it since I lost my memory card during the fireworks show at the cul-de-sac. When my neighbor emailed me to tell me he had my card, I was just so happy. Here is one of the pictures that I would have been so sad to have lost. Hip, hip, hooooooooray! I just had to make it my picture of the day!

I was super excited to take more pictures of the adorable Boyd family today. The boys are so funny and were such troopers. This picture may be my favorite of the day because it definately tells a story! LOVE IT.

We had such a fun 4th of July. Grandma and Grandpa Kidd, Grandma and Grandpa Stringham, Brian and the kids, the Mendenhalls, the Dillons, the Wiggins, and Jason's cousin from Scotland all came over for a BBQ and our neighborhood fireworks show. The boys had so much fun lighting off all the fireworks. They love to blow things up. Again... and again... and again... it seems to never get old.

Sometimes it's just nice to fall asleep with your teddy bear.

I couldn't believe it when Jason came in and told me he let David ride the motorcycle all by himself. WHAT?!! Yikes. It is terribly nerve racking watching him ride that thing, but he did a good job and he was so proud of himself!

Audrey and Aubrey do everything together. Apparently, this includes getting hurt. They both totally scraped up their legs after a good spill off the tryke and so they both came in to nurse their wounds by getting a treat and watching a show.

We made it to Boise. It was a quick trip for me since I was absorbed in my book that I couldn't put down. I read it almost the entire time, except for the last hour and a half that I drove. When we arrived I snapped a picture of one of the horses in the Hall's pasture.

We have all been counting down the days until our trip to Boise, especially Ethan! You can only imagine how very sad he was this morning when he woke up with the flu. The car was packed, the motorcycles were on the trailer, Audrey & David were picking out which stuffed animal to bring, and then Ethan threw up. We waited around hoping it was just a fluke, but he is sick. We decided to put off our trip and hopefully he will be feeling better tomorrow!
