July

Hello July!  Our least structured month of the year and we created some fun memorable moments.

Going to the movies is not a regular thing for us, so the kids were excited to hit up the dollar summer movies!

Momma was a little excited as well!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friend's house and snuggling babies!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zoe and I had a road trip to the Charleston area for a second opinion on her eyes.  She may have not loved me taking this picture of her with her eyes dilated, but she is a good sport nonetheless.

Wanting to make it fun, we went out to a scrumptious brunch date afterward!

One on one time is always a treasure!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Popsicle time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beach was excited with this theme in the children's wing at church and wanted a picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We spend a lot of time of here dealing with eyes.  Eye exercises in full swing...

AND Zoe getting her first set of contact lenses!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MUCH practice was needed for them but this girl stuck it out, which was especially hard in the beginning.

Cow appreciation day!

The littles convinced me to bring them to breakfast as well!

So they were, also, dressed up when it came time for the library program.

Lunch round 2...

made more fun with friends.

A dentist appointment thrown in there...

and then we were back for dinner.

I know, I know, a little ridiculous, but sometimes you just put on the dots and roll with it.  And by sometimes, I mean once a year in July!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another week, another movie...this time with friends!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We also participated with our tradition of blueberry picking...

and my parents are always up for it!

It seemed to get pretty hot, pretty fast but I made sure to take pictures along the way.

Some were more into the actual picking then others.

Ezra with his Poppy!

By this point the kids were over being done and were not to thrilled with another picture...

but what's one more...

and a few more when I found a bench ;-)

Smile if your ready to leave :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the big sis is in a tween program, it's time to play with the littles. 

Teaching Shiloh the ropes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Documenting our date night!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To our only summer birthday!

Always the Loveland swag!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somebody stole my mat at the end of our FiA workout!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Magic library fun...

and the kids always love being part of the act.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taco Tuesday night with friends...

and shows...

complete with getting into our dress-up clothes!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More library fun!

My kids LOVE reading, so earning these medals was no problem!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seeing that Zoe discovered the tween reading programs, she was all about it and wanted to go to one across town as well.

So this "new to us" library had them all captivated.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ezra has seen his baby pictures in the laundry basket and wanted to reenact such.....not quit the same effect buddy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Porkchop Productions is always one of my favorite library programs/shows!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When heading to a quick run in Target, it is apparently necessary to sit on the red ball and have your picture taken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girls have been very into giving massages lately, complete with essential oils.  I am probably their biggest fan in this new endeavor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Weekend movies always ensures that there will be snuggling going on!

The end of the month was topped off by another Grand Loveland visit for a ton of more fun in July!
