July

This month, Scott turned the big 3-0! I absolutely love teasing him, especially since I am still in my 20's. How fast a decade has gone by! We're getting old, I mean he's getting old.
His whole family joined us at his favorite restaurant, Pappadeux, to celebrate. He took a panoramic of all of us and all I see is my mother-in-law with her amazing wave and my giant man arm since I moved while he was taking the picture. This picture is priceless. I still laugh.
The birthday boy.
On 4th of July we went to Scott's parents house for food and then went to see fireworks. Scott's brothers joined us and I just loved it. Each one had one of the kids on their shoulders watching the show.
The kids completed another summer of swim lessons. Rylee and Haylee can almost swim now. Rylee is doing really well and knows how to swim, she is just scared to actually go for it. Haylee is brave and will jump right in but hasn't quite figured it out yet. And Zach. He loves jumping in but hates going under water. Ahh my children.
I turned 29. My last year in my 20's! I had a great birthday, a huge storm blew in that afternoon and cooled it down to the 70's. It was perfect.
We headed up to the cabin again! The first night there we did s'mores because they just lifted the no burn rule. Just after we started though we got stormed out! A huge storm blew in with crazy thunder and it down poured. It was wonderful.
We went to the lake again.
And then Scott, Haylee, Zach, Cruiser and I headed to the creek to look for crawdads. We didn't find any but we had a great time hiking around. It was beautiful.
Rylee had stayed back with Grammie and Denise and they treated us to icecream when we got back. Zach was a mess and Cruiser was right by his side catching it all...

Love my sweet boy.
