We love the library!

Our library has a summer (and now fall) reading program which is awesome! Your child has to read for 15 days. They can either be read to or read themselves and for no length of time either. We count the scriptures since we read those at night. Most nights we get in a book or two too. It just depends on the evening. At the end of 15 days, you can go into the library and choose a free book. These are all the free books we've scored. 18 and counting! When I totaled the price of all the books on the back, it came out to $117.00! I love free books!

PAPERBACK: Goodnight Moon, The White Owl, More Parts (we have the book "Parts" and its hillarious!), Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, Rain, Drop, Splash, That's Good That's Bad, Aliens Love Underpants (great one too!), Purplelicious.

HARDBOUND BOOKS: Not Me, The pigeon Wants a Puppy (we LOVE mo Willems), Pete the Cat.

EASY READER: New Kitten by Bearstain Bears, Disney's A Pony for a Princess, I Spy Phonics Fun (this book Kaylin got for reading to a dog at the library).

BOARD BOOKS: You are my sunshine, My Mother is Mine, Biscuit Visits the Pumpkin Patch, Inside Outside, Upside Down.

And just a random shot of Jared in between a diaper change. I blurred his ding dong...

End of summer recap

We've had a very fun summer. We had a trip to the cabin, 2 trips to Yuba City, some visitors to Reno and lots and lots of BBQs. I'm glad that 90 degree weather is starting to faze out. Here are some fun pictures...One of Zachary's first days of preschool. We made apple smiles.

Love all of Jared's cheesy smiles!


We were doing fireworks and Jared was not into the loud noises!




Here's grandpa lighting the little snakes that he got in Battle mountain or wherever.

Eating dinner and the cheesy grins.
On our camping trip in the middle of nowhere with no bathrooms and no real campsite. That was an adventure!
Zachary and Kaylin decided to put every bow she owned in Zachary's hair. This is what he looked like!

Crazy Cute Crafts!

Here are my fall blocks and photo pumpkin blocks. Holy cuteness! They are made from 2 by 4s.

Here is a plain cupboard door that I scored for free from my neighbor.
I primered it and painted the edges black (only one coat so that it would have a little distressed look)Then I mod-podged scrapbooking paper on the inside.Added a "W" and voila, a beautiful front entry way piece of art that was $Free.ninety.free!
