July Update

Here are a few of the things that went on with us during July..............

Since we live close to Six Flags (seven minutes away!) we thought it would be a good idea to buy a season pass. (Actually, this was my idea. Adam hates amusement parks!). We have officially used our pass three times and probably will not be buying one next year. It has just not been quite the amount of fun I anticipated. Anyway, Emma has enjoyed the rides she is eligible to ride. She LOVED driving the moon cars! Here are some shots from our first time there.


Early in July, my grandma and cousin Catherine came for a visit. We went swimming in our neighborhood pool, went to Six Flags (twice!), went shopping, and ate lots of food! Here are some of the pool pictures. Catherine is such a huge help with Emma. I am hoping that next summer she just moves in with us!


Emma and I spent some of last week in Farmington since we had some family visitors from IL. Emma loved playing with all of her cousins. We leave at the end of the week for Michigan where we will get to spend time with all of her IL cousins. I know Emma is going to have a blast. I can't wait to see how she likes the sand!

Adam's birthday was July 11. Emma and I celebrated it on July 27th! (We were busy around the time of his real birthday!) I attempted to make a fruit pizza for him but the crust overflowed in the oven leading to a burnt smelly disaster. We had ice cream with fruit instead. Happy late birthday Adam! Next year, we will try to be on time!

Finally, here are a few shots of Emma in our backyard. It is hard to get her to smile outside because she is so distracted by everything she sees!
