Summer Phone Pics

Here is a random assortment of pictures from the rest of the summer...I'm kicking myself for not getting my good camera out, but I'm blaming morning sickness. I lost motivation for a lot of things during those months. Oh well...

This was at the Milford Street Eats or something like that. It was so underwhelming and disappointing I don't even want to talk about it. It was supposed to have a "great variety" of food trucks from Cincinnati, but apparently the midwest doesn't really know what that means. The variety was pizza, hamburgers, fried mac and cheese, etc. Oh Oregon, we miss you so much!!!
(We salvaged the night by getting ice cream. It was very hot!)

Some of our yummy garden produce!
We went to Indiana one weekend in August so we could attend the Indianapolis Temple Open House. It was beautiful!

And so fun to spend the weekend with the Weavers. Cousin heaven!
Poor Connor gets eaten alive by mosquitos, even with repellant on. This was the day after we spent an evening working in our community garden. He had THIRTY on his face and neck alone. Poor baby.
Selfie of my long hair. I got it chopped a month ago and I'm still mourning the loss of my hair. I hate it! Ugh, so sad. You will not see a pic of my new haircut. I like the length okay, but the cut it terrible, so I'm waiting for the layers to grow so I can fix it...sniffle, sniffle
Yeah, I cut about 7 inches.
Anna with "Baby Colton" or "My Colton". We have a little one year-old in our ward named Colton and Anna LOVES him and has since named her baby doll after him. She's pretty cute.

This is what happens with pregnant brain. "Honey, can you stop at Walmart on your way home and get 5 dozen eggs, we're out of eggs." Oops, there was already 3 dozen in the other refrigerator....we ate a lot of eggs that week!
Connor and Anna have been playing SO well together since Eli's been in school. They are best buds. They'll go off together for hours and have a ball.
"I'm going to school" wearing Eli's backpack and shoes. :)
This was at the Nature Center. It's hard to see but this was a GIANT snapping turtle. It was so awesome!
Beautiful morning at the park!
Fearless Anna.

I bought 50 lbs of peaches and we had a canning party Labor Day weekend! We got 26 quarts I think. Yum!
This was during the last week the pool was open! We spent the whole morning one day at the pool and hardly saw another person. I'm proud of my kids and their swimming abilities after having a pool all summer. Connor and Eli can both swim independently now. Connor's not super comfortable in the deep end yet, but both of them jump in, swim a good length, and can get a breath and keep going. Hooray! Anna is still using floaties of course, but I have a feeling she'll be braver next summer.

Cutie girl.
I often lay down in the afternoons when Anna takes a nap. Sometimes Connor takes a nap, and sometimes he just has some quiet time looking at books, playing legos, or coloring. I woke up from a short nap one day and thought it was unusually quiet and came downstairs to find Connor like this. Sleep won out! I love this kid.
I still have some catching up to do, but I'm getting there!
