Kitties, Kids, and Fire!

The kittens totally destroyed 50% of my plants in the front yard, and they've been working really hard to kill two of my small trees. :( The perennials will survive, so I'm not too worried about them, but I will not be happy if the kittens kill my two little trees, and then we hope next year the cats are old enough not to see the plants as targets.

We've started on our office, woo hoo! But in the meantime, lots of chaos.

Trying to decide if I'm brave enough to do a room a navy color

August 8, the strawberry creek fire... the smoke was so bad in the north part of the valley I thought that was where the fire was, but obviously once you see the mountains it was coming from this area. Thanks to the north part of the valley for taking all the smoke. ;)

Not related to the fire....;) 

The rest of July...photo dump.

We had to take Aidan and Ella to their pulmonology appointments at Primary Children's, just a regular check up.

In the middle of the month we met up for a BBQ at Strawberry creek, and I probably wouldn't have posted most of these because they are terrible, but since the campground just burned down, it's kind of nice to have some before pictures.

A photo from after the fire from the GBNP Facebook page and they have more pictures here. I just thought this one was interesting since you can see the remains of the fence/ gate from the corral that the kids were playing on.

Sharon made Clara a big girl quilt

This means something exciting is about to happen! :)

We visited Sharon in her classroom one summer morning, and Britton made me take pictures of him modeling ALL of the blankets. I spared you...

July summer concert

We've had to get creative for ways to play in water.
