July

I still have so much catching up to do on our busy summer! Finally getting to July, now that it's halfway through September ;)

July 1st was on a Saturday this year, so our month started out with a trip to Home Depot for their project of the month. It was a bug catcher and Emily loved it!




Then we celebrated the 4th of July with my family. It was a fun, low-key day filled with swimming, yummy food, and fireworks!


checking out their goodies

love that profile!

putting hearts on all of her favorite states :)



she loved the poppers!


Addie watched fireworks from inside again this year




Emily took swim lessons again this year and it was a complete turn around from last year! This girl is now a little fish in the water and can swim very confidently on her own.

look at that happy face!




We had a really great visit from a lot of Grant's family at the end of July. It started off with a trip to Galveston and the beach. We spent a lot of time swimming, playing, and enjoying being together. It was wonderful!





worn out after the beach!


the adults were able to go to the temple together one evening


s'mores!





Addie doing a passe in her ballerina swimsuit


Uncle Eric made us an awesome treasure map

the treasure hunt ended with water balloons and bubbles

Addie thought this was all for her!

We love summer!

I love when I walk into scenes like this... sweet, loving sisters holding hands!
