July Fun

July has been so much fun I've forgotten to post! I feel better knowing that Taryn hasn't posted in a while either... see, we're both too busy having fun together every second.

Here are the month's highlights: Thursday night dinners with our friends Chris and Maeve (love them), West Valley Drive-in movie to see Ratatouille with the fam, and fourth of July with both sides of the family (how lucky am I... I can't do anything without my sisters I guess, or just don't want to).

For any of you who haven't seen Ratatouille - I liked it. I also really liked the van full of 9 kids under the age of 10 that was parked next to us. No car seats and the kids never exited the van, unlike the other hundred kids that were pajama-clad, barefoot, and dragging blakies around the parking lot. At the end of the movie I walked to the ladies room. The line was so long, I decided not to wait in it, but to count the number of women in line: 67. (and 2 men, strange). The drive-in is a post in and of itself.

What else is new - well, we've been watching Age of Love and we can't get enough. I'm proud of myself for not taking a picture of us watching the show so I can post it on my blog. (Ben now thinks the only reason I want to do fun activities is so I can post them/photos on my blog... silly).

This weekend we'll head up to Montana to spend a week with my folks. My mom no doubt has a variety of planned activities awaiting us. (great blog material) :)
