July 2013

July started off rough.  After having mastitis in Salt Lake, I came back to Eagle to be plagued with the nasty stomach flu that took down our whole family for almost two weeks!  So while we recovered, slowly unpacked, the kids explored the yard. Matthew especially enjoyed shooting his bow and arrow. 

Our own little firework show. We were still too exhausted to venture away from the house.

We also worked in the garden.  I went a little overboard at the garden nursery...I was just so excited that I could finally grow certain flowers that always died in Phoenix. We also bought worms for our compost!  Oddly, we were way too excited about that-felt like Christmas. 



Jane had great outfits.

 And then we were off to California for a Zinn family reunion.  We had so much fun!  Such a great vacation of just playing in the sand and ocean. 
First stop in Morgan Hill for a little golfing. 


And then down to Carlsbad. 









Audrey and I looked awesome. We were the beauties of the beach.

Matthew spent several hours digging holes.  



 After all of our various sleeping arrangements, these kids have become pretty good at sleeping all packed in one bed.



 Came back to Idaho.  Celebrated my birthday.  My most favorite present was that Rick arranged for raw milk to be delivered once a week.  



Then we went to the Walker family reunion for a few days.


And that was our July. Whew!
