Quick Catchup

As we've been falling short in the posting department, I'll try to catch up on a few of the happenings in the past month or so.

1. Click-Clack-Moo



Aiden and his cousin, Lexi, participated in a readers theater performance of Click-Clack-Moo. He played Farmer Brown. The story is so funny (it involves cows making demands by leaving typewritten notes). Aiden and Lex both did a great job and looked so smashing - even though it was quite the feat to get Aiden to wear his overalls. I just don't understand these Bishop boys and some of the clothes/hair hang ups sometimes. No comments from the peanut gallery, Mom - I was a pleasant child who did everything that was asked of me. Right.

2. Cooper's First Anniversary of Surviving Four Older Brothers



For Cooper's birthday, we kind of celebrated in installments. As the 5th kid, he can't really expect to get it all at once, can he? Kind of like winning the lottery. They don't give you those millions all at once. It would be bad for you. It might change you. So, for the next 18 years or so, we're going to keep telling Cooper that. In all honesty, with a holiday birthday, there is only so much "Bishop" we can inflict on our friends, family and the random kid down the street. So we did a small cake and ice cream thing on his actual birthday and then a family breakfast the next day. Come on, he's one, we were lucky to get him to dig into some frosting and ice cream before using it as hair cream.





3. Independence Day World Wide Tour

When it comes to partying, we're gluttons for punishment, like a Jenny Craig pudding pounder. Somehow, I let Kim talk me into spending the 4th of July by going to NLV's party and fireworks on Thursday night, the Summerlin parade on Friday morning, our friends' house for swimming on Friday afternoon, our neighborhood block party for a barbecue on Friday evening, and then the annual 4th of Dimaya celebration on Friday night. Whew, I think I got a serious case of carpal tunnel from just typing that sentence! Really, this crazy plan was a group effort, so please don't think my wife dragged me into this. All in all, it was super exhausting but so worth it! Here's some random photos of the events:
