Fun in July

So July has already been lots of fun and we aren't even a full week into it. The first of last week we got a great surprise with Aunt Amanda coming in for a visit. It was very short (just for the evening) but lots of fun. She had 2 of her friends with her, Victoria and Tara. They had been in Lexington and came to see the kids and have dinner with us. It was so much fun having them here and Maggie, Owen, and Josie loved playing with them all. Here they are building a pyrmaid.....


















and here is Joe getting in on it.













Maggie was figuring out sleeping arrangments when we broke the news to her that they were not spending the night. She wasn't so happy about that. But we are excited that Amanda can make it back for Owen's birthday party!

The whole week was rainy and too cold for the pool. So since that is what we usually do everyday we had to find something else to get into. I took the kids to the library to turn in their reading logs on Thursday and they got to pick out a new book and get a bag full of great coupons.























There was a chick fil a coupon in there so we decided to go there and meet up with Shannon and her girls. They had fun playing in the playground there and then we went over to the Summit to shop a little. Owen loved this little porch at Hollister, I couldn't believe he actually stood still and smiled for me to get his picture.


















When we got home I took the kids out back to get a picture of them looking so cute in their 4th of July outfits. But as with the picture people photo shoot....it went no where.





















Here is Josie blowing her nose, one of her favorite tricks to do.
