Still Keeping Busy!

Things have not slowed down for us much this summer! Between travel, visitors, moving, and work it has been pretty busy!

On the 9th Amanda had a Harry Potter Party for her Birthday. We dressed Grayson up as the baby/toddler Harry Potter and headed up the mountain for some Harry Potter fun!

They went all out for decorations!

Young Harry and Grown Harry

Amanda made all these yummy candies- well, except the jelly beans- but she made the containers.

Joyce making wands. It was really cool all the crafts they had set up to do.

Some partially done wands

Potions for the potions class they held. Those potions were pretty nasty tasting!

Making death eater masks

They had signs to point you to different places. They had letterboxing and also clues to find the deathly hollows

Grayson...I mean Harry....enjoying some lunch.

Some of the costumes. Do you know who they all are?
It was a total blast!

After Amanda's party, Sienna (Mike's niece who was with us for 5 weeks), Grayson and I packed up and headed to COLORADO!!! To see the Bolanders who just moved there from Texas. We stayed there a week and had a lot of fun! I was AWFUL at taking pictures, but it was a blast to just hang out with them.

We took Sienna home the day after we got back from Colorado. We spent some time with Mike's family while up in Lewiston and we got this picture of the 4 generations.

We let Grayson play outside, but when he found something he shouldn't have and we took it away, we snapped this picture.


But I guess he got over it quick enough.

Since we have been home we have not been doing as much. It has been REALLY hot and so I am trying to keep Grayson inside.
We did attend a birthday party at Settler's Park on Saturday and while playing in the water a bigger toddler plowed over Grayson and he has a very good sized knot on his forehead. POOR BABY!
We have about a month left before Mike and I start school for the fall. I am nervous about leaving Grayson with someone while I attend classes 2 times a week. However, it is my friend that I spend a lot of time with walking, going to the zoo, and stuff, so he is used to her and her toddler. He is just in his separation anxiety phase (screaming if I even step out of the room) so I am wondering how well it will go.
