On July 5th, my family all got together for pizza, yummy salads, cake and homemade ice cream to celebrate the June and July birthdays. Our air conditioner is fixed now, so we were able to have it at our house. It worked out great! The cousins all played happily in the basement and the backyard while the adults visited in peace. Later, we walked to the park-- it is two houses down from ours--where the Boise Pews (who were visiting) put on a fireworks show. Sadly, I forgot to take my camera to the park so I didn't get any photos of the cousins there.


Anna, Erika, Jumble and Shellie enjoyed dinner.
Tim and Gwen.
The couch is filled by Minnie, Erin, Emily, and Jumble so Tim has to sit on the floor.
Taran and Erika--Erika opens her presents.

Atom had to sit in the lap of all the birthday present recipients.

Atom helps Rachelle with her presents.
And finally Grandpa gets help from Atom. I think Atom was a little disappointed in the presents--they were all boring adult things like books and gift certificates! But the birthday celebrants were all very well-pleased with their wonderful gifts.

You got way better shots than me. I got the picture of grandma and grandpa from mom and dad, they have it somewhere and years ago I made photocopies of that and some other family pictures that are way old like that.

Okay,my original post had a lot of typos so I will try again! FYI, I took your photo off your website! This is before I read your comment. I don't think anyone would believe that you are your age, anyway. Haven't heard that 40 is the new 30?
