July

Animal talk at the library as part of their summer 

fun program!

Adorable baby joey!

4th of July!!

Traditional outing to the McKinney parade.

Russell scored lots of flags and a tiny amount 

of candy.

Went swimming and did lunch with Blake's

family. We were in charge of desserts!

!

Sparklers before heading to our IHOP fireworks 

spot. They started super early this year. Dave and 

family almost missed it

It's a GIRL!

Russell's getting a baby sister!!

Birthday/Anniversary present was tickets 

to see Lion King Broadway! Scored this shirt

super cheap because it only came in XS.

Two baking assistants. One happier than the other!

Just a boy, running down the street, in only

his underwear and flip flops.

MOOO!! National Cow Day!

Watering the garden with his garden tool from

ChickFilA

7-11 Free Slurpee Day!

Pay Your Age Day at Build-a-Bear... such a 

nightmare. The seriously underestimated the 

amount of people who were going to try and do this.

We spent WAY too many hours waiting in line. Luckily

thanks to friends and a well-placed play area, Russell

did amazingly well. I was shocked that he picked Toothless

over the Spider-Man bear.

We made the news! This is me looking at the

line and seriously considering walking out of the mall.

But we found a friend who let us cut in with her. Thought

that would mean a short wait... hahaha!

Battle wound from Zoey... Still have no idea

how it happened. Apparently popcorn was the cause.

Russell picked lemon curd ice cream... 

and he really liked it!

Pay Your Age Day at Hurts Donuts- a much

better experience. Russell loved his 3 cent blue

sprinkle monster of a doughnut.

'SouthWest' Roommates reunited (now Sam lives in Az and I live 

in Tx!)

Roommate Babies! (missing a napping Starliper)

Pioneer Children sang as the walked and walked...

Russell thought it was so fun. Not sure how long the 

fun would have lasted if he had to do it all day for months!

Pregnancy= eat all the ice cream, all the time!

Grandma sent a shirt for baby sister... 

Russell claimed it for himself! Totally fits.
