It's hard to believe that it is almost the end of July. I have been begging and begging for September to come and now realize that August will be full of getting ready for back to school and of course a camping trip to Keji. So July has been long and hot.......it's hard to entertain the kids and do the household duties that never get finished. We have managed to squeeze in a little fun here and there and hope to have a little more next month. We did a last minute road trip down to Bridgewater 2 Sundays ago (the 20th) to visit Uncle Mike and Auntie Keah. We went to church with them where we got to see some other friends and then headed back to their house for a visit and a yummy supper of fajitas and cheesecake. Keah's parents came over to eat with us and they are always fun company......Georgia even provided a table dance during dessert. After dinner we popped into Irene and Brian Hirtle's for a quickie visit and it's always fantastic catching up with them. On the way out Brian helped call the cows in and the kids got a super close visit. Georgia was beyond excited to get so close. We are hoping that on our way home from camping that they new baby calf will be around for us to meet!!!! The drive home was a wet one but the kids were glad for a fun road trip.....thanks for having us guys!!!
She loved going up and down the stairs......

So we really haven't done too much since our little excursion to the south shore. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. I have been having fun trying to figure out my camera and took some fun shots of the flowers out front. Jeff planted them years ago and every year we get more and more. They are so beautiful and missed when winter rolls around........
Friday brought the rain again and Jeff got to stay home......the kids really wanted to go to the Maritime Museum so off we went on a little field trip. They don't love the looking and reading.....they just like to look and couldn't wait to go out on the real ship. The sun managed to come out and we had a fun time together!!!
They had a few boats here.....lol
Atleast someone would look at the camera
Relaxing with some friends.....
Taking a peek.....
Hanging out by the nets.....
The weekend rolled around again and brought another birthday to our house......Jeff's 33rd to be exact. We hit Opa on Saturday night and had amazing meals........he had the special of the day which was a stuffed pork tenderloin and I had lamb souvalki.......yummy!!! Our appetizers to start were amazing and dessert came with a candle and lots of cream. It's not the cheapest place to eat but you get your moneys worth for sure!!! Sunday we started the day with a simple breakfast in bed and some presents. The kids were excited to open the "Super Soakers" and insisted on trying them out before church. After church Jeff's parents came over for a BBQ and some yummy birthday trifle. My mom stopped in later for some birthday hellos and trifle too!!! Later we settled in for the car race and were joined by Darren and Lesley. Lesley thought we should ring in Jeff's birthday with a late night snack of ribs that Jeff prepared up that afternoon when she dropped them off. They turned out quite yummy!!! Job well done birthday boy!! Any to put the icing on the cake Jimmie Johnson won the Brickyard 400.....LOVE seeing my guy win!!
Feta and roasted red peppers whipped with
really awesome bread to dip........

My lamb souvalki........delicious!!!

I'm now signing off for the night.....this has taken forever no thanks to all the pictures....a bit more to update on but maybe that will motivate me to do it sooner........I guess I'll know who made it this far by the comments.......hope it hasn't made you too hungry.......

Yeah Seriously Kathy, all the food pics you post make my mouth water! I'm glad Jeff had a nice birthday, you guys throw some great celebrations! Georgia gets cuter every day, that face just melts me! I love the thought of her and Cam, although I must say that our friends over here keep trying to arrange his marriage with THEIR daughter. He's in high demand already!
Fun chat tonight, as always!! :)
pictures are looking great. love that bread and dip at Opa...sooo yummy!!
It did make me hungry. I want some trifle!
Yeah. I'm a little hungry now, too. I know what you mean about wanting September to come and also wondering where the summer has gone.
opa: best app is roasted red pepper and whipped feta with pita slices. it looks like the one you got. is it?
georgia: growing right up eh? she's soooo beautiful. your whole family is.
Whew, what a recap! It is crazy how fast time is flying eh? I cannot believe I've been in London for 5 weeks, and my first course is almost over! The kiddies will be back in school in no time. Looks like you had a fun day trip to the South Shore. Sometimes you just need those little escapes, even if only for the day. I'm jealous of the fajitas! The pictures of the flowers are awesome! You are really getting handy with that fancy new camera. Chat with you soon!
Haha, Nephew...you're right! I blame it on my "baby brain"!! I would LOVE a phone call sometime, we're behind on video chats too....although I had a pretty CLASSIC chat with Lesley the other day....totally wish you'd have been on too!!
