July 2018

We had a Happy 4th of July!

 My nephew Zach headed to Argentina this month for his mission.  He'll be a great missionary.

My newest niece was blessed this month - here she is with her beautiful great-grandma Turner

Carly was SUPER excited for her cousins to visit - she drew these awesome pictures and made them each a goody bag.  They loved it all!

 The Judys came for a visit!!  We had fun exploring IKEA with them

 We pigged out on pizza and pop

 The girls had a girl party

 and they showed their mad fire-making skills so we could roast s'mores

 while the little boys were usually found playing their kindles together!

 April kept finding great pictures that she could re-create...fun times

 

 And we ended their visit with a fun trip to Lake Sammamish 

Cameron had a great time at Cub Scout Day Camp one week

 And we started riding bikes and walking on a great trail near our house☺

 The little kiddos had a great time doing a little dinosaur dig activity

 And we visited the Cedar River near our house

 Our garden is doing great!

And our big girls headed off to a week of Girl's Camp - had a great time.

 Matt took us all for a ride up in his bucket truck - goes 35 feet in the air - pretty exciting!

 And Jacie pulled out her front tooth!

 Cameron got to be in a parade with the Cub Scouts

 And the kids did great climbing a rock wall

We worked super hard one Saturday to do some yardwork - moved an apple tree and put in a rock wall and a cement pad to put a little shed on the back deck.

 Here's a little froggy friend we found checking out our new cement pad the next morning! 

And to end the month - my brother Bryce put together this super awesome family tree!
