Plumb Party

My sister came home (to get her wisdom teeth out lol) for a few weeks from San Diego and it was so fun having her around. One night my dad planned an outing for all of us (minus Sam in Utah, bummer) and it was the first time that many Plumbs have been together since Thanksgiving. We had dinner at Tico's (a family favorite, despite me working there), loaded my dad's Father's Day wooden swing into Jack's truck (it took forever), and then played Sorry. Many tears have been shed and fights sparked by Sorry in our history as a family, but I'm happy to say that even though I won both games that night, we all left as friends.

bunny since he still doesn't have a girlfriend)

The Plumb pets are thriving

My brother Jack has been doing some pretty cool things lately - he and a buddy sell homemade (delicious!) food at neighborhood markets, and he had his first gig as "Jack 2.0" the dj. He's amazing!

 This graphic is for my mom - she is camping three times this summer (Yellowstone, Redwoods, and Rockies) and I'm only joining her for one of those, so I've missed her while she's off communing with nature!

My dad took Natalie to the summer library at Holmes one morning and she was so excited to see her school again and spend some time with PopPop. She couldn't even wait to get home to read her book! (Speaking of reading, she's doing such a good job this summer! She knows most words in the level books, and does a nice job sounding out those that she doesn't immediately know. I love listening to her read! Also, we've been listening to kids audiobooks like Judy Moody and Diary of a Wimpy Kid in the car to/from Omaha, and she's been loving that.)
