july

Draper Kids Parade...hundreds of kids, hundred degree weather, Noah never gave up trying to ride his big bike although navigating through the crowds was quite the challenge. Clara on the other hand ditched the cozy coupe for the stroller after about 25 ft and it was the right decision.  Let's just say we all earned our popcicle at the end.
I took the kids for a day at "This is the Place" we had an amazing time panning for gold, riding trains and making friends with the animals.  It was my first major outing alone without ANY crying from ANY kids...HUGE Success :).
Our little garden and our little garden fairies. (clara and rowan)

Thanksgiving Point Farm with Grammy Pat and Jack.
After a spend over in Springville we watched balloons, fed the ducks and took in Toy Story 3 as well.
Draper Parade (more candy than Halloween..as you can tell by the kids excitement)
Noah's been in swim lessons all July and is a head under water, silly, pool boy!
Year #6 anniversary. 
Swedish fish and Gerbers... does my true love know me or what!  Instead of a trip to a cabin we spent it with diaster relief ripping out molding, blowing 180' fans to try to dry out the harwood floor, dry wall and carpet.  Pretty miserable weekend but we got through it and hope to make up for it next year.
Visit from Grandma Peggy...ring around the rosey with cousins.
The LOVELY "R's" Rebecca and Rowan showing a beautiful likeness during an Aunt Beck visit.

What a month...parades, fireworks, BBQs, and family. I bought school supplies super cheap at Target yesterday. Can it really be nearing August?  Summer, I am missing your freedom already. Fall, send me a cool breeze to let me know it will be okay.
