july has come and gone

I can't believe that july has already come and gone! It has been a fun and crazy month for us... here are some of the things that have been going on!

We got a puppy, still need to name him. and yes, he is a boy, just like our cat, our other dog and all 5 boys living in my house!!

Went to a grand 4th of July party!

Kason won first prize in the boy category of the 4th of july bike parade (thanks to uncle carlos!)

Got muddy.... A LOT!

Lost a first tooth

Doing wheelies with the kids - if you look closer little tanner is on there too, and yes i cringe every time i see this!

Went on a girl trip to see WICKED which was great!
Went on the mother of all road trips! 24 hour drive to Ohio to see my family.... crossed through some beautiful states and crossed over the mississipi and ohio rivers! Because we took 2 different routes each way we ended up crossing through 9 different states! Saw cities like dallas, tx, memphis tn, nashville tn, louisville ky, cincinnati oh, indiapolis and st. louis mo. The kids were wonderful... even this little guy was an angel!



Played every day with their cousin Evan
Played in a pond

played in the park
watched daddy race his moto at the county fair

spent time with one of my 2 nieces (i have yet to meet the other one but they are both little dolls!)


Met Dora the Explorer!! (tanner was deathly afraid of her... can you blame him look at the size of her head!)

Met spongebob too!!!!


Rode rides at Kings Island amusement park.. Jamison and Kason rode their first roller coaster ride as well! (no pictures though)

Jared brought his moto to ohio and made some friends and went riding with them... he also raced in the county fair pro class and won 3rd place

played in the river with uncle justin and evan

played with more cousins we NEVER see :(

On the way home the we just happened to pass right through the base cody is stationed on. He was able to leave base for a couple hours and go swimming and eat with us!

Also found a motorcycle track on the way home off the freeway that jared got to ride on... it was beautiful!
We had such a great time visiting with my family, wish i could've stayed longer, but the farm was calling us home!

Sound like you had a FUN summer! That's amazing that your kids travelled so well! Denali and Tyson rode a "real" roller coaster for the 1st time this summer too. What BIG boys we have! ;) I know my mom is glad to have you guys home... she was complaining that it was TOO quiet around there =)
