July

Where do I start with July.... we have done so much this month!  We stayed in town for the 4th, Emma moved to a big girls bed!, I traveled for work to LA for a week, went to the beach with the Journigan family for the weekend, went to our cousin Blake's 1st birthday party, and the week later we celebrated Stokes' 1st Birthday!  It was such a great month, lots of fun had by all!

Stokes came weighing in at 22 pounds (25-50%), and 30 inches (50-75%).  Stokes loves to eat!!  Boy he will eat a plate of food in a quick minute!  It is almost entertaining, especially after eating with Emma (she is our 'slow' eater...she likes to take her time, and just talk).  He is crawling all over the place, doesn't really have much interest in walking (taking after his sister), and loves to play ball!  He could roll his ball back and forth for an hour...and is too cute, everytime he throws and catches the ball I love to watch his face just light up!  We are so lucky........life couldn't get much better!

i am one!!

They actually like playing together!

July 4th

We have learned to love pool floats this year!  Happy 4th of July!

Emma is such a big girl now!  She wanted to sleep in her big girl bed, and has done such a good job!!!!  Only a few 'disassters' that we walked into the next morning!

Every little girl needs a pair of pink cow girl boots
