Movies, Talent shows, Parks, and Bedtime

Cars 2

We finally made it to CARS 2.  I was being cheap and was waiting for it to come out in the the three dollar theater but it was taking WAY too long.  So on a rainy day we FINALLY (as my kids would tell you) saw it. 


Our ward is having a ward talent show in a few weeks and they have been advertising it a lot at church so one day my kids put on a talent show for all of their animals.  It was very cute.  Natalie and Mitch decided (well jokingly, I HOPE!) that for the ward talent show they would get up and Mitch would ask Natalie how many drive up windows all of the fast food windows have.  Mitch would say," How many windows drive up windows does McDonald's have and Natalie would answer 2, then how many does Dairy Queen have- 1, Subway- 0, Jack in the Box-3, etc..."  For some reason anytime we have to go to a fast food drive thru Natalie is completely fascinated with how many windows each place has.  It is a little creepy.  To give my parenting skills a little credit, we don't go to fast food that often!  She is just completely in the know about how many each restaurant has and asks Mitch about everyone she can think of.  Well, that might be an original talent other than listening to a bunch of kids sing!  HA.




We have gone to a few parks to play on the few sunny days we have had this summer.  Sometimes it has felt few and far between.  The other week we met some friends and the Crossroads spray park and we were sitting next to a small tree that Cameron was able to jump to the nearest limb.  He kept hanging on the branch and doing pull ups on it.  It was pretty funny to watch.  I bet he probably did 50 by the time we left.  Anytime we go anywhere where Cameron isn't wearing a shirt he gets a lot of comments on his physique.  He is one little muscular guy!


All summer long we have had little to no naps and a late bedtime.  Dad and Mom are excited for a little more time at night this fall when we can all get to bed at a decent hour!
