Week of June 30 - July 9

Sorry it took me a few days to get this post out... Busy, Busy, Busy. We actually had some nice weather last week, so we were able to go to the park. But just after that nice day it has been raining EVERY DAY!!!! So the kids have been stuck inside the house, or when they do go outside, they come in soaking wet as the grass is so wet and long. It hasn't been dry long enough to cut. Yesterday it was only 53 degrees and today we were in the upper 50's again... so yes, I have had the fireplace on in July to keep to warm up the house a bit. How sad is that?
We didn't do much for the 4th of July. It is definitely different up here in Alaska. It is still light out, so there isn't fireworks until 11:30pm, at that is just to late for my kids. We went over to Kris & Jeff's house for dinner and hung out. We let off a few firecrackers and the kids had fun with the sparklers. I will get some pics downloaded in my next blog, hopefully. I actually made iron-on shirts for the kids. My neighbor had found a bunch of cool patriotic pics and had the iron-on, so she printed them for me and I ironed them on... On Saturday was MY special day. Angie had a scrapbooking day at her house and we had a Tastefully Simple Sampling Party along with it. I hired a babysitter for a few hours and really had a great time. I really needed that break from the kids.
Tuesday Jordyn had her 2 month checkup - 12lbs 12 oz.... yikes!!!!! She was pretty upset when she got her immunization and was pretty miserable the rest of the day, but we are doing better today.
Wednesday July 9, Jenna had her dentist appt.... NO CAVITIES!!!! YEAH!!!!
Tomorrow I need to finish up Jenna's packing, she heads to MN on Friday with Kris for the week and then she will stay with Koren and Brian for a couple of days, until we fly in on July 20th.
