July Days

Our days have been busy soaking up our last few weeks of summer.

Mama bought a new swing set so Dave and Uncle Darnel spent a Saturday putting it together.  Dane "helped".

 Dave's birthday was July 28th so while he was at work that day the boys and I made a cake and I let them decorate it to surprise him when he got home.

 We had family dinner at my mom's house to celebrate the July birthdays in the family.  We celebrated Ashley's, Steve's Dave's, Dane's, and Teddi's birthdays.

 Teddi's first birthday!

 My niece, Delaney, has had a Cousin Camp the past few summers.  She plans story time, crafts, snacks, and play activities.  The boys were so excited for cousin camp this year!

 Dane will start his second year of preschool on August 11th.  We had open house and then took him out to dinner.

 The mornings have been so nice we have spent a lot of time outside playing.

 With Dave on vacation and lots of plans, we hadn't been to Sams in a couple of weeks.  We needed to stock up.  After a long shopping trip we knew Reese would fall asleep on the way home so we had lunch at Sams before we left.  The BIG drinks come with the boys lunch, but I only filled them up about a 1/3 of the way and gave them lemonade.

Both of the boys were sound asleep on the way home.
