July 2014!

Wow! I can not believe that July is almost over, and that tomorrow-July 31st, 2014-is our 10 year anniversary!  Jacob and I have been blessed with a wonderful marriage and three beautiful girls.  I could not ask for more and am so thankful for all that God has given our family! 

 

July has been super busy for us with lots of birthdays, travels, anniversaries, day trips, and of course pool time.  With all three girls home this summer I haven't had much time to blog, but I do want to post several pictures from this past month.  I'm looking forward to school starting back so I can have more time to post!

 

These sweet girls rescued a baby mockingbird that fell out of it's nest.

Jacob and I went for a long weekend to visit our good friends Lauren

and Greg in Seattle, and to meet their new baby!

 

Xander is so precious and such a good baby!

 

We also got to meet Abby, Wes and Kyle's baby girl! 

 

We got back in town from Seattle on Father's Day, so we celebrated the next weekend with my Dad!

Happy Father's Day Dad!  We love you!

 

Jayda qualified for the Trinity Inviational and did great at the meet!

Sweet girl ready to swim.

 

Mommy and Daddy are her biggest fans!

 

On the ready bench...she ended up getting 7th overall in freestyle out of over 100 girls that qualified!  Way to go Jayda!

 

 

We were finally able to take our boat out for the first time this summer after Jayda's last swim meet!

A few days before July the 4th, we went to visit the Blue Bell Factory. 

I took some really sweet pictures of the girls before our tour.  This was my favorite one!

 

Thought this was so cute of Jayda twirling around in her dress.

Sweet Sydney in the tree.

Looking at sisters in the tree, just wishing she could get up there too.

Pretty girl.

Love these sisters.

Little patriot!

Silly little girls jumping all around.

Sweet girl.

Little miss priss!

 

Love these pictures of the girls in the tree!

 

Pretty sisters.

July 4th babe.

Happy girls!

Lil' Blue Bell girls. 

 

Run, run, as fast as you can!

 

The best part of the tour was getting all the yummy ice cream afterwards!

 

 

Ice cream lover!!! 

July 4th, 2014-Hooray!

Little bit learned how to do the roller coaster all by herself, and she loves it!

 

She just can't leave a bow in her hair!

 

Karen had a full lap at the 4th of July fireworks show!

We took the girls to the Sam Houston homes to take a few pictures of them in their Hawaiian outfits from Nana and Pawpaw.

 

Since we never got any 6 year pics of Jayda (and she was almost 7)

we went ahead and took a few of her while she was still 6! 

 

Such a pretty girl!

I absolutely love this picture of all of them in their Hawaiian clothes!

These baby cousins are the cutest ever!

 

Miss Avery Mae.

One of my favorite pictures ever of the girls! :) 

Sweet cousin Ty giving Avery a leaf.

 

Cousin love.

Sister hugs!

Dancing along the rock wall.  Fearless little thing.

 

We took the girls and Ty to splashtown one day and they had a blast.  This picture was taken on the way out, and Avery wanted to lay in Ty's lap.  Ty was not very happy about that. ;) 

 

Jacob's 31st bday was July 6th!  Pretty cake from Oma!

Jayda and Daddy.

 

Happy birthday Jacob!

Helping blow out the candles.

Swim team awards.  Jayda got the high point award for her age group!  Good work girl!

 

So proud of Sydney for doing swim team all summer and sticking with it! 

Playing with Daddy one evening after work.  These girls love their Daddy so much! 

Found this little pumpkin sitting in the corner with a cookie.  She is truly a little cookie monster!

  

We went to Great Wolf Lodge for Jayda's 7th birthday! 

The girls got manicures in the kid spa and loved it so much!

 

All done with their day at the spa.  Lol!

 

They loved the bunk beds in our room! 

 

 

Cutest little wolf pup ever! 

Popsicles in the summertime are a must!

 

Water baby.

No fear at all!

 

The cookie monster loves chocolate chip cookies!

 

Oupa showing the girls his new Froggy book. :)

Jayda's bday celebration at Oma and Oupa's hosue.  She couldn't wait to open presents!

Yummy cookie cake! 

 

Jayda requested breakfast in bed for her bday, like Daddy got.

 

 

And, we had to celebrate one more time the next night when Daddy got back in town! 

Can't believe our big girl is 7 years old now!! 

 

Make a wish Jayda!  We love you sweet girl!
