July Memories

July was full of fun and memories.  Here are a few!

Dance on July 6:

Swimming with cousin Dexter

We finally began decorating the inside of our home in July and purchased a beautiful personalized picture of the Portland Temple where Matt and I were married on December 29, 2001.  We also added pictures to the wall in the same room.

 Swimming with the young women.  This is Stephanie Holladay helping Lily in the pool.  Abby is below with Marisa Sorensen.

Gymnastics on July 12

 Messy Lily

 Our Ward had a Daddy-Daughter Dance on July 14 and Matt and Abby had so much fun.

 Always ready to do a cartwheel

Well, that's enough for July right now!  Lots of fun!

Lily's First Birthday and Fourth of July

Lily's 1st birthday was on July 2 and so we combined parties and celebrated her birthday and Independence Day at Grandma's and Grandpa's in LA.  It was quite a party!  Everyone swam, ate and enjoyed watching Lily open presents!  

Tried something new instead of a cake--a cupcake cake!

Dexter and Abby opened a little gift too!  Hard to understand why one kid gets all the presents!

Blanket I made for Heather's soon to be baby boy!

 

Happy 1st Birthday Lily Bug!!!  We love you.

July Pictures

I took the girls to JCPenney for some pictures and it was quite an adventure!  I learned that taking 3 girls by myself was a really bad idea.  The goal was to take Lily's 1 year pictures, but Lily would not hold still for anything!  We still got some pictures, but I think we exhausted the photographer!
