July is here once again! July has always been one of my favorite months-I love the 4th and the fireworks, my birthday, the 24th of July, and we generally go camping or swimming or have family reunions...or all of the above! We have had a fun month so far and are excited for more fun ahead! This year I turned 25 and I can hardly believe it. I feel like I am still 19 most of the time (the age I was when I got married) and before I know it 30 will be right around the corner! Time Flies! I generally want this month to last forever and ever, but this year it has been so hot that I'm really excited for fall so I can sleep again!

Our little miss Janie is 6+ months old...and does not crawl. She does a great job scooting on her back and sits up really well, but that girl still hates her stomach! When I took her in for her 6 month Dr. visit, the Dr. told me to just keep putting her on her stomach and she will start crawling...not the case so far. She flips onto her back within seconds 99% of the time we put her on her stomach. She loves to stand already and will even walk a few steps while holding our fingers! She is so independent and wants to move by herself and sit and eat when she wants to (no matter what my schedule may be), but she is so fun and adorable-makes the cutest little noises and parrots back sometimes. We love her so!








Mister Conner is becoming a really good brother. Now that Janie sits up on her own, Conner will come sit and play by her and give her toys she can't reach (without tipping over). In the morning the first thing he wants to do is give her hugs and kisses and whenever she cries he is always the first to get to her and says, "Whatsamatter Janie Jane?". He's super cute! He's also a good helper-he helps me vacuum, mop, dust, weed the garden, water the flowers, do laundry and most any other chore he can! He is getting to be such a big boy...now we just need him potty trained! (Any volunteers?) : )



Dave has been busy at the Bank-he's been the traveling officer as of late since everyone has days off due to summer vacations so he has been all over the place recently. I've been doing piano lessons and primary still. We've had a new niece and nephew born and it sounds like more are to come-love these new little ones and are looking forward to meeting them soon!
