Bits of July

Saturday July 9th
 My father-in-law, Jim, is in the YM presidency in his ward in Yamhill.  Their youth group had an activity to go ride horses.  He knows of Maggie's great love of horses, so invited her to come on their activity.  She was beyond thrilled!
 Some of the group.  I guess they had to split up and ride in two separate groups since there weren't enough horses, so she didn't get to ride with grandpa Jim.  
 That's one happy girl!!
 It was beautiful scenery!!
When they returned, Jim went with the next group.   
 Isn't he cute?  He's the best!
Monday July 11th
 Garrett playing Pokemon with Noah.  He is so patient to play with him, because I have no clue what's going on in that game.  I've tried, but I just don't get it and don't ever really want to learn!  Ha! Noah sure loves it though.  
 Kids playing on our long boards...I don't think they'll ever stand up and try to ride them the correct way, but at least they are outside and playing.  
 Tuesday July 12th
 Today was a day spent with friends... This is Brooke and Paige.  They've been friends since they were like 3 I think.  They are so cute together.  Today they were taking pictures of the things they like to do together and were planning to put the pictures in a book.  Not sure if they ever did, but it was a cute idea.  
 These pictures were all at Brooke's house.  
 This is their cute friend Lily.  
 Having a picnic
 Playing piano
and doing their nails.
 Maggie went on a group date to Chic-fil-a.  I guess if they dressed up like cows they got something for free, so that's what their date was.  Pretty cute...I can't remember if they did anything else or not.
 And Bella had her friends Lauryn, Katie and Brooklynn over and played on the trampoline.  
 I sure love my kids' good friends!
 These other things happened in July too, but I will post about them later because there are a lot of pictures...
Posts to come:
 Our stake had it's 2nd trek and it was the 2nd time to be Ma and Pa McKibben.  That was quite the adventure!! July 13-16th.
 We drove to Utah on the 18th and 19th, and then had a Hansen family reunion in Yellowstone from July 20th-26th.  
Garrett had to fly back home the next day, but we stayed in Utah till August 6th.  On July 30th, we spent the day at Bear Lake.  It was a fun and busy month!!

Photoshoot

Friday July 8th
I am so bad at going to get my kids pictures taken for their annual pictures.  I used to be better when I would just schedule an appointment and go to JC Penney and have it done there.  But now, I go to local parks and try to find places with pretty back grounds for their pictures.  For that, it needs to be nice weather and NOT raining...
Anyways, we picked a date and it was good weather so we went for it.  Too bad it was a couple of months past Maggie's and Bella's birthdays, but pretty good for Noah's.  :)
The following are random pictures from that photoshoot.  Some good and some not so good!  Sorry there's so many...
They all turned out pretty cute...it was hard to narrow it down to just a few.
