it's august already? let's talk about july

In July, we ate ice cream on the step.  It's kind of hot here, so we try to keep cool as best we can.  : )

We made homemade play dough.  Graham didn't like it at first, he kept telling me it was yucky, but it quickly grew on him, especially when we made it into snakes of various sizes.

We found a Radio Disney activity at our local shopping area/splash pad.  Volunteers were told they were playing for a prize, little did we know it was going to be a sticker.  Super lame.  They kept talking up a trip to Disneyland, but we walked away with a sticker.  Graham like the sticker, but even the winner of the game didn't get a trip to Disneyland.  Tricky.

We celebrated pioneer day in style!  Fireworks!

Our ward had a Pioneer Day party, complete with a pie eating contest.  Matt participated, along with our friend Ryan, there, neither of whom ate their whole pies.  It was quite the undertaking.  Some people, however, did eat their pies, and some people didn't come to church the next day due to said pies.

We got our hands on some more culture passes and enjoyed a free day at the Science Center.

Graham did some reading.

We played outside for a little while each day...or at least tried to.  It's so hot, and Graham gets sweaty, but he loves it out there.

Graham has mastered the Kindle.  We think he's a boy genius, but he goes about his business like no one's business.  : )

Graham and daddy took some pictures of themselves.

Even in church.  See how handsome they are?
