July 2021

 Alrighty...  here's July!  These are, as always, supremely out of order, but oh well.  :)

Kelly and I took the Eli, Timothy, Charlie, Cooper, and Corban and Emmett Howard to Burger's Lake for the day.  We had a blast!  I love this annual tradition.

Here's Eli on the trapeze...


All the boys...


And the SUPER high dive...


Earlier in the month, Elizabeth and I took CJ and Eli to Surf-n-Swim (a wave pool), which we've been doing together since the boys were toddlers.  Again, I love this summer tradition!


Eric and Eli took the boat to Purdis Creek to fish one day this month.


My dad's parents came to visit Texas for the first time in years!  It was SO GOOD to see them, and we had a wonderful time.  We're super excited to see my Mom's parents next month as well!


Eli caught his biggest bass ever this month- just over 5 pounds.  He was THRILLED!


Kelly and I took our boys and Cooper to Hawaiian Falls.



And now we've wound our way all the way back to the beginning of the month...  July 4th.  We had a picnic over the weekend with the family and some friends from church, and then we just enjoyed a day off of work on the 4th.  That evening, we did sparklers and a few small fireworks in the backyard, which I always love.






My one picture from the picnic- the boys and CJ.


And that's July!  LOVE to you!!
