July happenings

We had our annual ward 4th of July breakfast in our cul-de-sac this year and it was a lot of fun.  Good food, candy cannon, and bike parade.

 We're not the most photogenic people... ;)

 That night we did a 4th of July BBQ at the Brewers and then did the firework derby which is always a hit.

 Nate & Aiden were the winners!

 We had fun at the pool a few times.  The big boys are old enough to go off by themselves so I just hang out with Callie and Graham.  We love living close to the AF pool.

 Nate convinced me to go mountain biking on a date night.  I was so nervous and wasn't that fast but I did it and tried something new! Not sure if he can convince me to go again but we'll see :)

 Mom life: hanging out in Callie's room with Graham on my lap and Callie fixing my hair :)

 Aiden finished a great season of baseball. It was fun to see him improve over the season.  And it was fun he had so many friends on his team.

 The kids and I were invited to a Potluck Paint party with some kids in the ward where they got to paint on their own canvas.  It was a fun summertime activity. 

 We love video calls with daddy.  When Graham wakes up from his nap, he drinks his bottle and then we always call Nate.  Nate loves acting like the video call freezes and he just holds crazy faces.  Funny daddy!

 Brennan finally lost both his front teeth.  They were hanging on by a hair the last few weeks but he finally got brave enough to pull them out. His toothless smile is the best.

We went to the American Fork Soap Box Derby and the kids loved getting to cheer the racers on with some of their cute little friends.

 When Andrew and his kids came to town we got to go to the MOTAB Pioneer day concert with these cute kids.  Alex Boye was the guest and it was a great concert.

 We also went to zoo with Andrew and his kids (Melanie flew out to Utah later than them because she had a high adventure camp). We had a great day at the zoo with our Curtis cousins.

It was a hot day so the kids enjoyed being blown off by this water fan.

 On July 24th, Nate was out of town in Milwaukee but the kids and I met up with our Tadje family here and went to Tibble Fork.  The kids had fun in the sand and kayaking and I kept busying chasing Graham around :)

And I previously posted about our trip to Midway and our trip to Idaho. July was hectic but so much fun!
