Just a few pictures from July

I have so many pictures on my camera from trying to get these three to look decent in a picture. This was the best we came up with.

 My parents with the kids before they left for Indiana. The kids were so sad to lose them!

 Neil was in San Diego on business and brought back souvenirs from Old Town. Micah is modeling Charlotte's pioneer bonnet.

Madoc's Birthday

Madoc turned 7 a few days after Amelia's blessing so we celebrated with cake and presents while all of the grandparents were here on Sunday. On his actual birthday we had a family dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Shoaf and he picked Red Robin.

 Oh, the glorious chocolate cake! We all loved it and it was completely gone in two days.

 Opening presents from G'ma and G'pa Shoaf...

 from G'ma and G'pa Crapo...

 from Sadie... He LOVES his Lego Ninjago Character Encyclopedia. So much so that he destroyed his and got a new copy for his birthday. Sadie made him a second encyclopedia to go along with it.

 The coveted Gold Dragon from Mom and Dad...

...and the new iPod to replace the Christmas iPod that went through the wash. He's super excited, can't you tell?

Amelia's Blessing

Amelia was blessed on July 6th. She was a perfect angel, of course. Here are what few pictures I was able to get. Cranky, tired children at naptime combined with rainy weather made picture taking difficult. I didn't even get pictures with my parents.
