Speaking of our boy. Here he is having fun at Grammy's:
The family clown doing what she does best

This boy is finally making an effort to develop his gross motor skills. He *finally* started crawling a few weeks ago and is crawling more than army crawling now.

He's also a good sport when I use him for entertainment
Our neighbor gifted us with some venison sausage a few weeks ago. He actually killed this deer himself. I used it for biscuits and gravy. It was good.

My Elise got a much needed hair cut. It hurt to watch her do this but her hair was ridiculously uneven and it looks so much more tame now. She did great during the process and absolutely loved that they put a ribbon in her hair when she was done. She's getting too big!




Speaking of getting big, my Vivinana is growing way too quickly as well.

Ryan has developed a love for Shipley Do-Nuts

Sword fight with his Auntie Esther
July 4th was spent with our family. The kids were in the pool for hours and we did set off some fireworks in Grammy's driveway.

Ryan has a rash, which I suspect is actually eczema, and he couldn't get in the pool because the chlorine makes it flare up. This was his way of cooling down.

We're throwing Jason and Vanessa's shower this weekend so I've been in crafting mode. Here are a couple of this week's projects.
Cake stands and movie reels getting sprayed!

I saw a girl wearing a shirt similar to this while we were in Austin last month. I knew I could make it fairly inexpensively. I think I only spent about $7 in materials. That's always a good feeling.
