July 2008

Hello again! I know...I always say I will update soon and it never happens! Sorry! July was such a busy month! We had Ava's birthday and birthday party, Grant's birthday, Cassandra's wedding and all the festivities that go with that, the 4th of July and lots of fun in the sun! We were also super busy trying to get the house fixed up. Here are the pictures from July!

We met Grandma Harless, Aunt Kasie, Uncle Justin and Camden at Hummel Park to watch fireworks. The girls really loved it! Aunt Stefanie also ended up sitting with us. It was so nice to forget about working on the house for one night and have fun!
