Other July Activities. . . .

 My birthday, all star games, the fair, trips to the library, friends visiting, flying to California.  So many fun activities that we are grateful for!

Will had a double header on my birthday, so we had fun going to dinner the night before at Ixtapa. And then it was really fun to watch his games on my actual birthday! 

Ixtapa for birthday dinner! 

I got a leaf blower for my birthday! I was so excited, and it was cute that the kids were all so excited for me to open it, because they knew I would love it:).

And on my birthday proper, we had hamburgers at Will's double header all star game:). 

It's always great to see the McLachlans!

FAIR! It was fun this year to have Will's friend Brady join us as the kids played games and went on rides! 

Off to California!

Around the house:).

The kids made up a game called stickball, and had a lot of fun playing it! Pat and I joined them one day, and they were frustrated with us because they had made up so many rules they we didn't know! It was pretty funny, and we decided to just let them do their thing, because they all knew exactly how to play:). 

Before and after of back room! I'd had it on my mind to put a couch in the backroom since we moved in three years ago, so was determined this summer to make it happen! We already had the couch, so with help, moved it through the window, and I painted the room Naval from Sherwin Williams.  I love the color and the transformation of the room!
