Heath Goes to China for 2 Weeks, 1st Solo Sleepover for the Boys, White Lake Fun, Griffin's B-day Party & Beatles Outdoor Concert

Wes:  1 Year, 8 Months & 1 Week Old
Ty:  3 Years, 9 Months & 1 Week Old 

July 11-17
We went shopping at the pharmacies on Friday (weird day, I know) and Wes insisted on holding this giant package of paper towels!

I worked 7a-7p on Sabbath and Ty decided to make me a casserole, so I didn't have to cook after a long day of work! 

** I worked Sunday 3p-3a and Heath left for a 2 week business trip to China that morning.  Sonia & Keith came and picked up the kids (and the dogs) for their first sleepover without Mom & Dad!  Since I would be getting home at about 4:30 AM, Sonia would have had to spend the night...and she had been planning on having some family over for a BBQ at her house, so it just worked out better for them to take the kids there.  They did amazing!  No problems at all! **

I met Sonia & the boys (plus some of the school kids & my friend Stephanie) at our new favorite lake to swim at... White Lake State Park.  The water is so warm, has great views of the mountains, the water stays shallow for a long time, very sandy & has a great playground.  What more can you ask?  I was mortified, though.  Sonia had said, "sleep in, we will get there at about 11 am...why don't you join us at around 1 pm?"  I had set my alarm (but in my stupor at 5 am, I had set it for pm instead of am)...and I woke up at noon!  Needless to say, I was late getting there!






Wes with Autumn & Brooke Blakeney...he had a bit of a problem throwing sand! )=


That is Ty (in the yellow floaties) and Kate Blakeney swimming together - Ty's swimming is getting so good!

Wednesday we celebrated Griffin's 1 year birthday

Ty & Poppy sharing a fun moment

Then Wes & Poppy bonding over a shared love of watermelon!


Yes, that is Finley blowing out Griffin's candle & Ty sticking his finger in the cake!!!!

My mom gets after me for putting bibs on my kids everywhere....but why not?

Or they could look like this sweet boy!!!! (=

Some of Griffin's treasures

Ty loved this bubble mower and kept stalking the birthday boy for when he would stop using it! 

Thursday I had a deposition for a malpractice case that I am involved with (horrible day) and Sonia had watched the boys.  She said, "I think Ty is exhausted" and he passed out in the first 5 minutes in the car!  We had packed up on Thursday night for 4-5 days in Conway (since Heath was gone, might as well stay with my parents)

As soon as we got to Conway on Thursday night we met up with my mom, Leigh, Bode, Mia, Zoe (Mia's best friend and now Ty's crush), Jane & Bill (Leigh's mom & stepdad) for an outdoor Beatles cover band concert!  It was amazing!!!!!

It was held at the base of the ski mountain that I skied every Sunday growing up...Cranmore!

The kids loved climbing up the hill

See Mom, this is what happens when he doesn't wear a bib!



The cousins enjoying some cookies!
