August Misc.

 Here are a few more pictures from August:

Nora doing homework with the critters


Oliver brought in another garter snake - I thought he was over this phase 😒


Max loves the fluffy bath mats

Juno in cuddle mode

Ev and I have been trying to train Oliver to sit and stay nicely to get his treats. It hasn't been very easy training him, but he looks really cute when he actually does it

lol

Nora and I went to see Newsies at Hale Theatre

The themed dinner




Nora helped the rats to create some cute tiny paintings - Coco's is on the left, and Chrissy's is on the right

The artists

My mom's pretty dining table for August

Juno having window time

Someone's watching...



Nora took this picture when I was driving and Dorie looks so scared. I think she was just holding on for when we were turning a corner - at least I hope that is what was happening 😳

Looking more relaxed while we were waiting to pick up the kids

Sam playing his cello at his performance workshop


Max melting out of my lap

A few minutes later all curled up, hehe

We got tickets months and months ago to see Beetlejuice the Musical when it came to Salt Lake because it is Mike's favorite musical. Unfortunately with the timing of his surgery and recovery he wasn't able to go, but the rest of us did and had a fun time.





Juno at her yearly vet check-up, hiding behind me lol

When I fell asleep one afternoon

Nora and I got to go visit Kate's new cat, Felix. She found him injured and she helped him, but he was never claimed so she decided to keep him. He is a very sweet orange tabby.


TV time


I was walking past the basement bathroom and thought I noticed something strange out of the corner of my eye. It turned out to be Oliver in the bathtub. Ev says he likes to hang out in there sometimes. Maybe it is cool in the summer?

We celebrated Mike's birthday! He picked JcW's for dinner, and Cravings cupcakes for the treat

The selection of cupcake flavors

Dorie and Oliver thought the food smelled yummy

For the activity, we watched some Jury Duty

Max cuddling with Nora, with his paw on her nose - ???

Karin, Ben, Thomas and James were in town for a little bit. I met up with them, and my Mom and Kate and we went to dinner at R&R BBQ, then went to see the chalk art festival that was going on at the Riverwoods in Provo.


Such amazing talent! We loved the variety of subjects and styles in the art






We also stopped in a store called Moon's Rare Books. It is part shop, and part museum. The man who started the store has an amazing collection of rare books, objects, and memorabilia that he has on display.

Taking a rest from her mischief

Nora and I went to see Catch Me If You Can at Hale Theatre. It was a murder mystery full of twists - definitely kept us on the edge of our seats

The stage set was fantastic

Fun with cousins at Sunday dinner

Celebrating Andrew and Mike's birthdays with two yummy Backer's cakes
