| July took us to the only place you can go in Texas summers: the pool! Lots of days were spent pool-side. |
 |
| Wendy found a straw in our pool bag and turned it into a snorkel. |
 |
| PJ and I celebrated our anniversary in a low-key way this year: Movies! |
 |
| While we were at the beach, we were able to have our kitchen cabinets painted. It has been an item on our Reno list ever since we moved here! |
 |
| Drawings of Wendy. |
 |
| She drew her version of PJ and then wanted to document it. |
 |
| Trying to get Lilly to ride her bike without training wheels! We converted her bike to a balance bike but it's been too hot to get out and ride often. |
 |
| Fourth of July! We started off with the small noise-less fireworks. |
 |
| And then got out the big guns! |
 |
| This was the first year Lilly did not shrink away from all the noise. She really enjoyed the show! |
 |
| Wendy helped PJ light some mega fireworks. Run! |
 |
| Some of the carnage after. Such a good time! |
 |
| The girls love having the Missionaries over and they wanted to get a picture with some of their biggest fans. |
 |
| Touring Lockhart when the girls' Grandma came to town and Lilly thought this woman was super fancy and had to get a picture with her. |
 |
| We also took Grandma to the 45 trail. Lilly rode her balance bike and played on the rocks. Wendy rode her bike beside me while I ran the path. A great time was had by all! |
 |
| Wendy showing off her monkey bar skills! |
 |
| Between days at home, the girls also have been able to go to Gymnastics Camp. They have made great friends and learned some cool new skills! |
 |
| Playing on iPads... with her parasol. Of course! |
 |
| Wendy got a little reading nook in her room so she could practice reading. She's becoming quite thee reader! |
 |
| Checking in on Wendy at night. She has a pink lava lamp and I tell her to watch the bubbles while she tries to fall asleep. It seemed to have worked! |
 |
| Back to school means scheduling Dr. Checkups! |
 |
| The girls were worried they were going to have to get shots but there were none needed for their age! They are both super tall for their age. |
 |
| Cooking day! We made sushi (Wendy's pick) |
 |
| Wendy gave two thumbs up! |
 |
| Lilly said it was OK but ate her whole roll. |
 |
| Next up was pretzel making! (My pick) Both girls loved them. |
 |
| Finally, donuts! (Lilly's pick) Of course both girls thought the donuts were yummy- of course! |
 |
| The finished pretzels! They were delicious. |
 |
| Donuts all decorated! We had a coconut glaze, milk chocolate, and salted caramel to decorate them with. |
 |
| The girls playing on the playground at their Elementary School. |
 |
| Back at the pool! No one else was there and I thought it was funny: with the pool all to themselves... |
 |
| They were playing on thee steps. At least they had fun! |
 |
| Practicing on her balance bike! |
 |
| So close to having family bike rides! |
 |
| Finally, Lilly wanted to earn some money so she succumbed to picking up dog poop in the back yard. It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it! |
