July Roundup

 July was a bit of a blur. There are a few things that I know happened: My friend Heathyr was here from Kansas for the month with her two littles, we did swim lessons, the kids had birthdays, we had two birthday parties, we went to the fair, Matt's mom and step-dad came down for a few days, and we did some other stuff. I will post seperately about all of the specific things, but here is the Random July Photo Dump.

Our pals the Dunlaps came out for a beach day. Sadly, it was the least sunny day of the summer. But the kiddos didn't care.

I finally got him to put his butt in the swing

A few first steps :)

Our pals the Staffords came out for a visit. Yay friends!

This is how most family photos turn out. So if you're wondering why there aren't very many...this is it.

Moments later Emma fell on her face. Sad.

Another cloudy beach day.

Emma's favorite activity: rummaging through her brother's underwear drawer.

This is Ben, not jumping off the diving board on the last day of swim lessons

Nana got Ben a new slide

Finally! A sunny beach day!

We take a lot of morning walks/bike rides to the park
