July

July was a busy month for us.  We ventured out on our first road trip as a family of 5 and headed north to Bartlesville for a weekend.  Papa Jim was there and the boys had a good time playing with Nana, Papa, Tyler, Lacy, Jeff & Heaven.  We went to Kiddie Park, the boys favorite place to go in Bartlesville, swam and just had a good time.  It was a pretty successful road trip, no major meltdowns by any of us! =) 

We've done a LOT of swimming , Braden has become quite the little swimmer. He wore his belt for MAYBE a total of 15 minutes the first time he jumped in the pool this year, then decided he could swim and has not worn it since.  His favorite thing to do is "pencil jump" off the diving board and then swim and touch the bottom of the pool - quite an accomplishment for a 5 year old....its 10 feet deep!! Mema told him he sure could hold his breath for a long time - his response "I don't hold my breathe, i'm like a fish, I can breathe underwater!"  Kasen is a little swimmer too.  He still wears the swimming belt, but he sure can dog paddle like a pro.  I'm guessing next summer he will be swimming all by hisself, and breathing like a fish - just like his big brother!

We also went to Hawaiian Falls in Frisco with our friends, Nikki, Jory, Jeret & Neely Jo.  It was a lot of fun.  Braden had an underwater camera and took picutres of EVERYTHING, I'll only post the ones that actually have people in them! =)

Billy got a new truck, THANK GOODNESS! Now we can all 5 actually fit and ride in his vehicle.  It's pretty and we love it! =)

That pretty much sums up July...I think. Now enjoy all the pictures!
