  Andy always does cute things around the house leading up to our anniversary...

This marked 17 years together for us.

He left the rose petals on our bathroom counter and he remade the blanket on our bed into a heart every morning of the week.

Love my cute man :)

I wish I would have gotten more pictures of this next event but I only got a few of Abs and Ben in the water.  Andy was put in the Stake Presidency in June and the Stake President planned a family day at Bear Lake.  It was a good opportunity to get to know some of the other members of the presidency and their families.  After several hours at the lake we all went to a family cabin and had dinner and spent the evening together.  It was really great...made some instant new friends :)

I made a baby quilt for a friend...

It had been a while since I had been down in my craft corner so I was grateful for an excuse :)

Matt had a back to school night at his new school.

Big 7th grader in the house.

I always love the moment where I get to watch them try out their locker.

 First Day of School

Josh 11th grade.............................................................Abby 9th grade

Matt 7th grade....................................................................Ben 5th grade

It is a common occurrence to find Ben zonked out on the floor.

Bless him :)

 For several weeks we endured a pantry moth infestation.

I think they came in on some almonds.

We had put out traps and they collected a whole lot but we still had a problem.

  

I decided to do a serious deep clean to try and take care of them once and for all.

I spent hours moving everything out of the pantry and combing it all for moths, larvae and cocoons

I felt really good about my efforts but as I was putting everything back on the shelves I spied a worm crawling around in a box that I had already checked and given the green light.  Ooh I was so mad!

Well, all I can say is that after a few more weeks, we have killed a bunch more but they are certainly dwindling.  I think eventually they will be gone...fingers crossed!

Us Bryan girls did our annual Swiss Days thing...

I thought these hanging plant orbs were awesome!!!

This was my haul this year...
