R.P. Summer 2012

R.P. = Random Pictures. I know a lot of my posts are Random, but the Scribner house is crazy and it's even amazing that I think to snap pictures once in while. I have probably 10K pictures of Noah about an eighth of Mason (which is still plenty, ha ha!). Such is life of a third child, right? He doesn't seem to mind, and soon he'll catch up with Noah because Noah is not my camera lover. I feel like the paparazzi when trying to take pictures of Noah.

Here's Aunalie on her favorite horse in the world, Billy! She rides him about 100 times better than I ever rode any pony. Of course, Billy is the best pony EVER! And that's saying a lot coming from me.

Earlier this summer, I can't remember when, we went to the Henry Doorly Zoo and Mason was really loving the aquarium. He'd run up to the tanks and sort of scream out in excitement! It was a very nice day, so it must have been before the drought started. Seems like ages ago!

Here's from the 3rd of July block BOMB party that we have. Seemed extra loud this year, but that's probably because I got to be outside more often this year. So glad we survived that day! The 4th of July was even better. We got to relax in our driveway and watch about 2 hours of endless fireworks that went off all around our house. It still amazes me how much people spend, but I love watching it!

This is truly random... but we spent a lot of time outside this summer even though it was super hot.  In fact, this picture is about a month old, that grass is no longer green but brown and crunchy. Noah learned to ride his bike early in June, so we went on several family bike rides, including a 6.5 mile ride down to a llama farm and a shorter one around Holmes Lake!

And here's Noah on Billy. Noah likes Billy, but not as much as he loves the 4-wheeler with Grandpa Lonnie! We really had a great summer, but are really excited to get back to school!  Grandma Karen has been taking the older two to the library and checking out books all summer.  She is largely responsible for helping them get their prizes from the summer reading program.  Aunalie is excited about starting preschool this year! Noah is going back to Meadowlane for one more year in preparation for elementary school. He is excited to see his friends again! It's going to be interesting with all the driving back and forth, but I think it's going to be an awesome year!
