I have been finding some freedom in the mornings while everyone else is asleep. I have been making these baby toys for shower gifts, some to sell (soon) ...

and some for Taryn. She loves them! I love the opportunity to create. I have also been making some home decor items. I will try to post soon.

Brynn is learning how to do hair and makeup! She is going to need some practice, and her sisters better learn to keep their play makeup put away.

Taryn has learned to roll over...

and blow raspberries! So cute!!!

Kenley learned how to make pancakes from scratch! (a good cook always samples before serving to anyone else:)

Lauren is learning to read, but I still need to get pictures.

Dallin is learning to say goodbye. He has had the little green bracelet (Easter grass) on for over a year. When he noticed it was fraying we had to make a replacement. I like the new one much better.

The 3 different birds that have come in my house through the heater have thankfully found freedom. It is hard to see, but there is a bird in the above photo.If you have seen the pigeon episode of Modern Family, yes that is how you react!

I think it is safe to say that July has truly been a month of finding Independence and freedom!

Jorgensen's picnic in July

We had a great time. Hope we do it again next year!

Our neighborhood had a patriotic block party on the 5th of July. It was so fun! Great food, cotton candy (or "pure sugar" as Brynn calls it. She must have heard adults talking.), and fireworks!
On the 3rd we went to the Air force Museum. The learning center was closed, so we will have to go again, but we had a great time looking at the rest of the interesting items.

I love this sweet picture of Dallin holding Daddy's hand.

Lauren is obsessed with the " I love you" ASL sign.

Taryn is 5 months old as of the 7th. Hard to believe that she is that old already. She has been so good from the start, and has been wonderful the last few weekends. We have had some busy weekends lately. I am hoping to get a family reunion post done soon. Thanks for checking on us!

Scrapbooking for me!

I have been working on an album for my sister-in-law (wedding sign in book) for the past few weeks. I really enjoyed helping with it, but it feels good to finish a layout for myself. I am in love with the sketches week on this blog http://allisonrdavis.blogspot.com/ she and her family are so talented. This is my version of this weeks sketch.
