Iron man teeth

Well, we did it. George has a new tooth and it is his Ironman tooth since it is silver. I am happy to say we made it through not eating breakfast, sedation meds, keeping our mouth busy so we didn't chew off our numb lip, not being able to walk because we had medicine and finally sleeping everything off. Luckily, he did not need a root canal which the dentist had warned us might happen. It was pretty painless...just tiring. I did get one thing on my to do list done today...I hung up the pictures I've been working on...ta da! 

Canning

Feeling accomplished today. Got my first batch of pinto beans canned with the help of Nikki and then hung the sign I re-painted! 

Hooray for getting projects done! 

Happy 4th

Eli loves watermelon!!!

Wacky words

#1George smells my freshly painted toenails and asks "why do your feet stink?" I don't know, I say. "Is it because you ate asparagus?"

#2 Quite seriously Cannon says. "Mom did you know that gluten people can eat the cone, I mean EAT the cone part of the ice cream cone". Poor deprived child.

#3 George is eating a plate of food at a family reunion, I watch as he eats a chocolate donut hole halfway through his meal...he looks at me and says "THAT was THE BEST meatball EVER!"  

#4 "someday I'm going to go on a roll-eee-coaster!"

#5 Cannon says to George "it's almost bedtime". George's reply "no it's not my dad says it's almost Christmas time!" (In early November)

#6 George is sitting next to Dad and Dad toots. George says "Dad say excuse me!" Dad says, "oh, sorry you're right. Excuse me. Besides George, it smells like flowers;)" without missing a beat George replies "yeah, dead ones." Lol!

#7 We learned about communication at FHE and during the prayer I say "We are thankful we could learn to communicate tonight. " The prayer then ends and immediately Cannon says "be in the cake? Why would we want to be in the cake?!?" Confusing "communicate" with "be in the cake!"

#8 George comes to me one day and says "my new nickname is not Georgie Porgie anymore, it's jor-hey!" 

#9 We are swimming in a lake at Yellowstone and Cannon wants to take off his shoes, I tell him that would be fine and he exclaims "what about the crabs and lobsters?!?!"

#10 Today while driving, George spotted a trailer full of fire wood and he says "that mans vocation is to get wood!" 

Summer fun

The boys have LOVED the "water slide" the last few days. 

Jake finished the roof on the clubhouse. Doesn't it look great!

While he was working on that I spent time (by time I mean hours) weeding the garden(-: finally they are all gone and I can be proud of our first little garden. We've got corn, tomatoes,  strawberries, carrots, pumpkins and sunflowers. It's not much, but it's a start. 

Home

We enjoyed our last day in Seattle yesterday. Got to go to the EMP museum and see the original Superman costume. 

Then we rode the monorail, and Cannon got to blow the horn! Next we were on to the Aquarium. After finding parking and walking we found out that it was closed for their annual fundraiser! Cannon was pretty disappointed until we went across the street to the arcade and then on to Ye Old Curiosity Shop. On the pier the boys couldn't resist climbing on this sculpture. 

We finished around 5, so instead of driving in traffic we went to Red Robin on the pier. They now serve gluten free buns...hooray! With Jake as the navigator we took the scenic route home. 

 

This morning Nana and Grandpa Keith headed back to Utah. What a lovely trip we had with them! They spoiled us all(-: 

Father's Day

I am SO thankful for the Dad's in my life. My Dad is an amazing example of righteous leadership and my dear husband who is such a wonderful Daddy to our three boys. I love you all. Thank you. 

Daddy doing "tricks" for the kiddos. What fun!

This was fun but my favorite was when he rode backwards! I'll have to figure out how to post the video.
