July in Pictures

Lots of happenings around these parts!

First, we welcomed my new niece!!  This is Cecilia!  She was quite the chunk, weighing in at 9 lbs, 8 oz!  Her big sister Lilah only weighed 6 lbs, 3 oz!

                 

                 

We went to the zoo!

                 

And a local home days event!  It was awesome because they had a small fireworks show and since I didn't have Logan on the 4th of July, this was important to me.

                 

Logan, meeting his baby cousin for the first time!

                 

Dinner out with some friends to celebrate my friend Jim's birthday (known as Uncle Bippin to all of our kids):

                

(These are out of order but I am too lazy to mess with them.  Don't judge)
Before Logan went to his dad's on the 4th of July, I got to take him to our local parade.  He was in candy heaven.

                            

                           

We also went to visit a local petting zoo!

                 

And continued our Thursday ritual of story time at the library followed by a donut.  Sometimes we went to the park afterward to eat and then explore:

                  

And Cinemark's $1 movies??  The best idea ever.  Especially because the weather this summer totally sucked:

                               

We also spent some time crafting and painting birdhouses:

                               

And enjoyed what felt like only a few nice days and evenings during the week:

                               

We visited what Logan calls the "dinosaur park," which is on this awesome Lake to Lake Trail we have in our park system.  It has a fake mastodon skeleton and is just a really beautiful area.

                                

Lots of selfies this summer with my boy.

                               

Looking for bullfrogs with Papa:

                             

And what is summer without corn on the cob?
