In and Out, National Parks, Shasta, and Grass

A lot has gone on since May.  We took a trip to Craters of the moon, went to CA twice, completely redone the front yard and put grass in, climbed Mt Shasta, and in one week, I will be done with my 7 years of   college forever... until grad school.

Believe it or not, I am horrible at taking pictures and have no proof of anything that I just said.  Here are some other pictures though.

Olivia has suddenly turned in a super picky eater.  She use to love raspberries, but now she just puts them on her finger and forces daddy to eat them.

Nobody in Idaho has air conditioners because they all have basements which are surprisingly cooler.  Now, since John and I both have a fear/hate for basements, we bought a 2-story house instead.  Unfortunately it didn't come with an air conditioner.  But heck, we bought one anyway!  Coming Tuesday or Wednesday.  It gets really hot in our house, especially upstairs.  Olivia's baby monitor measures the temp between 87 and 90 every night.  During the day, I just throw Olivia in her swim suit, put on a bunch of sun block, and let her play with the hose and water the lawn.  She loves it!

This was Olivia's first time seeing the firework show in Idaho Falls: best firework show west of the Mississippi!  Melaleuca spends over 20 million on this 40 minute firework show.  It's wonderful because it is walking distance from our house and we don't have to drive and wait hours to get on the freeway.  If you want to see it next year, just come to our place!


When we were in CA, Uncle Kevin gave us a bunch of glow sticks so we shared them with our friends and let Olivia play with the rest!  She loved them!

Olivia loved the fireworks!
