Fried Green Tomatoes

Because of the awful wind we had last night, a few of our tomatoes fell off the plant while they were still green. A friend from work suggested that we make fried green tomatoes, so we did. We used this recipe. They were pretty good. Russ made a good point, however. They could have been any veggie that had been battered and fried. They all taste the same. It's just an excuse to fry something. :) Dallin liked it. He ate half of one and then decided it was much more efficient just to ripe off the fried breading and eat that.

Silly Dallin

Just some silly picture of Dallin...

Dallin loves to wear shoes. Here he is trying to wear my Sunday shoes.

I pulled out Dallin's old bouncy chair when I was watching the Hancey kids the other night. Dallin has decided it is a favorite chair of his. Here he is eating his crackers, watching Aladdin, and just hanging out. I have no idea why he insisted on wearing the knit cap in the middle of July with no A/C in our house.

July 4th at PC

Here is a quick run down of our Fourth of July out in Plain City

Russ and I ran the 5K. Of course he kicked my butt, but it was my first time. Maybe I'll do better next year.

The fire trucks at the parade were too loud for Sky.

Dallin starting in on his parade loot before the parade was even over.

Russ and I decided to walk to the square, just in case the 5K that morning wasn't enough exercise. :) Bryn and Dallin came in the wagon with us.

Here is my cute niece Katie. Isn't she a doll!

On the way home from the festivities at the square, Dallin fell asleep sitting up. I don't know how long he had be asleep before we noticed.

Here is the video of Dallin bobbing along as he slept. Just so you know, after I recorded this, I did pick him up and let him sleep on my shoulder. I'm not totally mean.

Sky and Bryn had fun the sparklers.

This is Dallin upset by Sky and Bryn doing the sparklers. I think that he thought that they were going to get hurt by them.

We went to watch the fireworks at my Aunt Jenny's house. Dallin loved them. He kept saying "Wow" and "Woah". When the really loud ones went off, he would point to his ears and say "Oww"

On our way back to Grandma and Grandpa's house after the fireworks. We got to ride in the back of the truck.
