1. Piper and Simon played so well together today.  After dinner, we made a food craft together.  That time spent together made them amenable to cleaning up the living room.  After which I rewarded them with a little time playing Just Dance Kids 2 on the Wii.  They took turns nicely and even though Piper kicked his bum, she was very conciliatory and complimentary of his efforts.
2. Yummy chicken chili soup for dinner.  It was easily made in the crockpot and all I had to do was break out the tortilla chips and drinks.
3. Great gift inspiration for my family's Christmas
4. Rick enjoying a boy's night out.  I know he misses seeing his family at night but it's good for him to get some free time with friends too.
5. iTunes

Lemonade Anyone?

Just like last year, we had having a lemonade stand on our list of things to do this summer.  The kids decided to sell licorice too, though no one bought any.  Piper made the sign all by herself.  Not too bad.

Chilling at the Grove

One day during the summer we went to the Grove to hang out.  The kids met these cute puppies and couldn't get enough.

Here We Go Dodgers!

We got to attend several Dodger games this summer.  We made a poster for Mormon Night and then we found out we weren't allowed to have them.  We did the next best thing and took a picture of it before we had to toss it.  We took our friend Jacques from church with us.

People taking pictures with Alex Boye who sang the national anthem.

Ayyy batter, batter!

Piper and I enjoying our wonderful seats behind home plate provided by my parent's friend.

I think there's a little love affair there.
