July!

We love the month of July!! There is always so many things going on and we keep busy from the beginning of the month to the end. This July is even more exciting because we get to watch the Olympics too!
We kicked off the month celebrating Ma's birthday! Adam and Pa and a serious water fight and Adam ended up soaked! He loved every minute of it!!

 Tessa was trying to be helpful as Ma opened her presents. 
For Family Home Evening on Monday night, we made some treats and delivered them to our firefighters. They have been busy helping out with some of the wildfires around the state and we are thankful for all that they do to keep us safe!


 Adam and Tessa both wrote them thank you notes. Tessa wrote her note all by herself. I only had to help her write the letter "k" and the word "fireman" because she ran out of room on her paper. She amazes us!
 Today (Tuesday), the kids and I woke up extra early and headed to Provo to watch the hot air balloons. Eric had to work this year, so it was just us. We met up with Ma and Pa and Aunt Dee and Uncle Eddie. The weather was perfect this year, so we got to see all the balloons launch and then play some of their games. It was a fun way to begin our day and our 4th of July celebrations!




 We love the Smokey the Bear balloon. Tessa had to bring her pet dog along.



 Happy Birthday Ma! We love you!!!


 Gwen woke up after about 30 minutes and had fun seeing all the action around us.
She is 6 months old today!






Gwen was a little unsure about Smokey.
