AUGUST HAS ARRIVED!

Hello, all!  I am trying to put the Disney pictures and Cleveland pictures on the blog but will have to consult with my tech expert tonight to figure out what I am doing wrong.  Also, I have Finley's dance recital video and will need expert for that, too.  Alas, I just have some regular-old-everyday shots of the family and Matt's 40 bday celebration!
Montana and Finley just hanging out.

Poor Harper, she is on the bottom.

Recognize these pjs, Kindal and Lauren?  They are getting put to good use!


Laying around with Montana yet again.



They were so exhausted after running in the sprinkler...please no more pictures today, Mom.


The girls wanted to show Nana Pat how the flowers she planted were doing....pretty well considering the drought.



Finley and Harper filling the pinata for Matt's 40th birthday.  They went with a Scooby-Doo/Pirate theme!  Note what $80 can buy you at the Party Store...impressive!



Rappy Birthday!


The girls helped me bake my first successful apple pie - I have tried before and failed!  But, it is Matt's favorite, so I had to try again!


Pinata time!




The girls are dressed fancy - and I am not.  Matt and I went to dinner that night with our friends, the Pongs, then I put on a dress!

After the party, Harper and Monty were wiped out!

On this fine day of napping, I laid Harper there first, then came in later to find Monty above her.  Harper, naturally, slept through Monty climbing over her.  

We braved Canada's Wonderland last Sunday.  Harper's first time there - I think she liked it.  Go Red Baron!

Happy 4th of July!

I decided to brave Sears again for a photo shoot with the superstars!  One really likes to pose; the other is on the move and not at all interested in the camera.  I will leave it to you all to figure it out!

















































More pictures of Julie's trip to Toronto - from Julie - thanks, Jules!

On the GO train - what fun!

At Center Island - yes, Harper is wearing a tutu!



Where we imbibed  - beautiful Lake Ontario!

Niagara Falls, Canada - the best side to see the falls "they" say!

On the big ferris wheel - which was enclosed with air conditioning!  Still, you have got to put your hands up!


Harper and Monty bonding as only Hoscheks do - with a nap!
