Things I missed in July...

Summer is flying by WAY too fast.

Some might be ready for kids to head back to school...

but I am NOT ready!

July was filled with tons of fun.

Besides New York, Trek, and 2 girls birthdays, I missed posting about some more stuff.

Like...

Jadyn's 6th Birthday!

That sadly I was NOT there for...

I was off in New York with the big girls.

And Jadyn was NOT very excited that I missed it... oh and that I didn't have any presents ready for her.

That was not a smart move on my part, but we did make a visit in NY to the American Girl Store and hauled her home a doll and accessories.
And Shane did great filling in, getting her a cake and inviting all the "big friends" over to celebrate.

The day after we got home she had her friend party at the Wood's pool.

That was a perfect idea!  And Jadyn had a fantastic time with lots and lots of adorable little friends.
Thanks DeeAnn

I loved how all the girls stayed in the pool,

and the boys wanted to warm up on the cement. :)

So lucky to have so many wonderful friends around for our girls.

And so grateful for the EFY program that Tayler attended with her bestie Kelsee.

They learned and grew lots spiritually...

but let's be honest.

I heard more about all the cute boys they were meeting and getting numbers from than anything else.

She got those braces off at the 1st of the month... and everything is starting to change.

I think Shane MAY be willing to pay to have them put back on for a few years! :)

We had a fun night together at the Whittier Park while Tay was off at EFY...

And Kenna and Jadyn loved having swimming lessons and chillin'at the pool after for a couple weeks...

We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on our neighbor Claire's horses.

 

Jadyn was the most excited of all.

And didn't freak out one bit!

She even touched them.

So proud of you Jady... and thanks for making her so happy Claire!

 AND she didn't freak out when we went to "dress like a cow" day at Chik-fil-a either!!

 Although I did hear her muttering under her breath that...  "it's just a costume, it's just a costume."

We took a tour of "Aggie Ice Cream."

And of course had the world's best ice cream after!



Had picnics...

I found cute things like this going on...

This is Sunday morning, all the webkinz are sitting in their primary classes and Kenna is doing singing time. (You're teaching them well Deon) :)

We had some yummy shaved ice at a couple different places...

And Shane sent pictures like this of stuff they did while we were off in NY...

I had my 20th class reunion...

WHAT...

Just typing that makes me feel old!

But Yeah for Logan High Class of 92'

Wish I had brought my good camera for a better picture.

It was a fun night.

Funny how some people are unrecognizable...

and others are EXACTLY the same. :)

We had lots and lots of quality time with Cousins Paige and Tara...

but mainly Tara who slept over about every other night it seems.

But we loved having her and totally wish that she didn't have to live so darn far away!!

Miss you Tara, thanks for all the fun times, and don't forget how much our family loves you.

July was good.

We love summer.

Yesterday I mentioned the word "winter" to my girls.

And they told me not to use that "W" word around them again!!
