Surfing

Here's another reason we need to move to southern California - the beach. My parents just got back from Carlsbad and let us know they are practically giving away houses down there. We could get into a new house for only $500,000. Sign me up!

Rusty found the surfboard placemats and wanted to go surfing at the beach, but he said he needed sunscreen first :)

Mini Carnival

We were driving home from the store and saw a mini-carnival happening in a neighboring city and decided to go. It was a rip off and very hot, but Rusty loved being a "cowboy" and racing the boats. Thanks Nate for letting us steal all of the quarters from your change jar!

Camping

Bear Lake

We spent this past weekend with Nate's family in Bear Lake. It was a lot of fun, but in typical Devon fashion I brought my camera and didn't take pictures. We do have one souvenir however, Rusty's first sunburn!

Speaking of lakes and swimming - Target has Pampers and Huggies swim diapers on sale this week for only $2.99. We might not have a year (or even month) supply of food, but we are now covered on the swim diapers. Whew, I'm glad we can check that off our list.

4th of July Parade

We had a very fun 4th. On the 3rd we watched the Bee movie at the park with Rusty's girlfriends Cambree and Shayla. Then on Friday we went to the parade, had a BBQ at my sister Denise's and watched the fireworks on the way home.

Pirates, Tools and Belts

Rusty really likes pirates, tools, and belts. We were spelling his name and I said "R like rabbit" and he said, "no, ARRH like pirate" - whatever works I guess. Nate and I didn't figure out the belt over the shoulder meant he was a pirate until he pulled his sword out of the sheath (aka back scratcher and vacuum attachment) and said arrh matey.


Here's Pirate Rusty in action

Who needs pants when you've got a tool belt like this!? Kids are so resourceful.
