July

Happy Independence Day! 

We celebrated at Memaw and DDaddy's house.

We celebrated Pops' birthday too since Jaden was getting his tonsils out on Pops actual birthday. 

More sparklers at home! 

Going to the doctor with three kids is no small feet. Cora was there for her follow up, after getting tubes, Jaden was there for his pre-op appointment to get his tonsils out. Anders was along for the ride! 

Before going home, we stopped by Charlie and Sam's house to pick up some peaches they had gotten us! 

For Jaden's last meal for two weeks, he chose Chuck E Cheese's! We took Anders and Cora to Nana's house and took our big boy out for a special night. 

He got an even bigger surprise too! A sword/gun that he's always wanted! Woohoo! 

Anders and Cora were living it up too! 

Mimi and Papa Joe cane to wait with Jaden before his surgery.

And it was over, just like that! 

He had the sweetest nurse to tend to him. She actually lives in our neighborhood and is moving to Grand Cayman Islands in two weeks, where her husband is going to be the pastor at their new church! 

He either slept or played on his iPad for the rest of the day. Nurse Cora came to check on him before going to Mimi's for the night. 

Getting your tonsils out isn't all that bad when you get prizes every time you turn around! Aunt Tara brought him a goody basket, Mimi got him some "cool clothes", Nana brought some marker maker refills and a Spider-Man web shooter, Mr. Joe brought homemade ice cream, Aunt Margaret brought him two new games, and the list goes on! 

They were only away from each other one full day, but they MISSED each other! 

He hasn't slowed down a bit! 

They can sure fight like siblings, but they can't stand to be apart either. 

FINALLY we made it out of the house! Snow cones to the rescue! 

Bathroom and bedroom renovation underway!

Family movie night!

Steel City Pops with Nana!

Then a couple of hours at the library, to get Jaden's prize for reading his books!

Spencer's birthday supper at Chuey's!

Love these guys!

They were tired of Back to School shopping, but were a major help at Aldi unloading the buggy!

CHOM is always fun!

Jaden watches YouTube videos all the time, and today he watched on on how to bake a cake. So we made a cake!

Playing so well together!

Go Dog Go!

We had a fun day with Mimi and Pops at the big movies!

Watching Rio 2

Since I went through their toys and donated a lot, they've been playing with Legos a lot more!

Waiting out the thunderstorm at MeMaw and D-Daddy's house.

Another one of the 2,984 trips to Lowe's.

Jaden wanted to read to us tonight!

Today, the plumber had to come work, and brought his daughter. Spencer, Parker and May May came to play too! It was hot, but we needed some popsicles!

My favorite addition to the kitchen. 

Nana Fagan's hands making her homemade biscuits. 

Cora's first pedicure!

She was not impressed! haha

Girls trips to get our toes done.

Silly Sassy

While I cooked supper, Jaden helped Anders write his ABC's.

"Take our picture Mom!"

We're thankful for MeMaw and D-Daddy's pool on these hot summer days!

WOOHOO!!

We can't do a big birthday party this year for Jader, so we had a fun family day instead!

Air walk, Barnes and Noble for coloring, iPad free time at the Apple store, and finally supper at Chuck E. Cheese with all the cousins!

We had a great July! One more month until we meet the new baby!!
