July Catch Up

KEVIN'S parent's sold their house and are now living in Charlotte!! That is the biggest and greatest news of all. They have been in transition mode as they are living with us for a few weeks. But honestly it could not be better. They are and always have been the least invasive people. I know from experience that it is not easy to be without your regular routine, and I can't imagine how it feels when your Richard's age. But I saw him literately jump UP and DOWN in my kitchen to make the boys laugh. I think this was already the best thing ever because he is going to get younger in his age.  And Yvonne has been doing things that I just have not gotten to like cleaning my washer and dryer (it was so yucky), my fridge (again super yucky) and my lazy susan. It's a nice surprise since I'm the only one to pick up any cleaning product in the house. It definitely has not gone unnoticed and I appreciate it so much. Thank you Yvonne! We are thrilled to have them here and are looking forward to doing simple family things together.

Here are a TON of pictures throughout the month!!

At the zoo! They actually got to pet the giraffe! 

Seriously love them all. 

 Super fun at the splash grounds! Looks like Jack and Caleb are holding hands! Cuteness!

No one loves the water as much as Landon. He was wildly happy here. 

 HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! 

Parade in the  neighborhood with our besties! They all look really happy in this bottom picture. 

Brecken is totally rocking these glasses. :)

The parade and festival in Unionville! 

Love Birds!

 Another "free" museum with our awesome pass and awesome friends! 

This is seriously so cool!! 

Goof balls. 

Jackson says "I don't know which way to go mom." in his most serious voice. 

Poor Brecken gets left in the dust. :) 

Grayson and Jackson look so cute here. Jack didn't want to get to close to the ledge because he might fall in. Safety first!! 

 Free bowling! And it was actually the kids first bowling experience. Jackson was very animated. He was cracking Melissa and I up! So fun. 

Kaden was an awesome bowler....Thanks to Wii. 

Brecken thought it was a jungle gym. 

We only lasted 5 frames and I have to give Jackson credit because he bowled under Brecken's name. LOVE!

Ekkk!! Kaden and Grayson's most awesome birthday party!! Look at those snakes! I couldn't believe my kids actually held them! 

Happy 4th Birthday Gray! 

This picture cracks me up!! We were at the Nature Museum and they loved this thing! Can you tell who is who? 

Leah, one of my very best friends, had a baby boy this month!! Welcome Holden James Bruns! We have already loved you for 10 months!! 

Can Leah and Kyle look anymore like a model family??!! I love this very first picture. Beautiful. 

Kevin was very concerned that he had to be the first guy there so he could be called "uncle". And I was concerned that I mixed up a delicious strawberry martini!! 

YUM!

Everyone LOVES baby Holden!
