Our July!

It's been a fast few weeks - nearly a month - since our family was focused on getting Grant dropped off, and we're slowly settling into a new normal as a daily group of four. It's weird.

We received our first letters - two in one day!

Nana had another birthday so we all got together to celebrate her.

Reid has taken over Grant's bathroom and toys - specifically, this Star Wars lego AT/AT.

We saw 'ol Harrison Ford back on the big screen with Indiana Jones.

4th of July

We went to the Tinker AFB show and Reid was asked for an interview. He made the 10:00pm NBC news!

This makes me happy - a driveway full of teenager cars!

So the boys boxed...

and poor Landon got a bloody nose.

Reid gets to go to work with me once a week.  He's a trooper.

He also gets to take naps there, too.

VBS!

Kyle had his big church camp last week. He went to Como, CO with Sunnybrook.  They spend a day with their family group (grade and gender), a day rafting, a day climbing a mountain, and a day in Breckenridge. He also thrift shops on this trip.

with Jace, Henry and Jack.

Addie and her friend, Avery, were their hiking buddies!

My friend, Kelly, was a sponsor and sent me this! yay!

We were all excited he was home!  Eddie at first was like "oh hey" and then he really realized who it was and was leaping in his lap!

Reid even got a picked-up hug!

While he was away, we had some fun, too!  Libby and her kiddos came to town for the OSU soccer camp. Our house guidelines are "you're in charge of cleaning your own room and bathroom."

Ewwww. Gross.

Neither room or bath passed my inspection and I spent hours cleaning them just to get them normal. But, Kyle's room was company-ready afterwards!

Gerardo even came down for a night!

cousins!

Reid had a super time playing with them, especially Mattox.

We spent some time visiting Aunt LaRue

Jacob came to town last week as Anne had a trip to the ER. 

Baseball end of season party at a friend's land - the boys loved it!

Kyle and Dad dominated Tipsy Toss against Jason/Mom and Reid/me.

He's always up for anything.

We got another letter!  I think it's funny that both times we got a letter(s), the parent getting the mail had on an USAFA shirt.

selfies on my phone...

Sending support to other cadets we have met. One of them has since dropped out. Boo!

Hot post-football

We walked in honor of the March to Jack's Valley. The cadets did 6.2 and we did 3.1 without any gear but we still love them!  :)
