july 2010 has been the busiest month thus far in our lives...ok, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it sure does feel like it.
we were truly blest to have my older brother andy and his family move back to texas on july 1st. andy got a job with a company in georgetown and they stayed with us till there place was ready at the end of july...kalan and ryn loved the cousin's being around and i really liked hanging out with georgette during the day...

we just played a lot and got to reconnect after years of living in different states. the kids really like having each other around and there is nothing like having cousins to play with!
sometimes the kids went over to gigi and papa's during the week so our little house had a bit of a break

caleb and cosette brought their cool 4 wheeler and kalan really loved that.
we also were able to celebrate 4 of july together for the first time in years! that was fun, the kids were really excited about the fireworks, staying up late and the pure ciaos that goes along with all of that-
also in july, after months of planning, we got a group together for a girls weekend in fredricksburg. we toured the texas wine county in style and had a great time. plans are already underway for a vegas trip next year-looking forward to it.

our little ryn turned 8 months and keeps us busy and happy as we watch her grow.
ryn is a talker, hair puller, eater, laugher, and screamer.
she says mama, and hi that we are sure of.
she pulls her little brother's hair ever time he is in arms reach.
she eats everything. everything.
she laughs and almost always is smiling.
and she doesn't cry...she screams:)
we also had to say good bye to our neighbors of 5 years-brant and laura blackwood. they took an adventure to alaska and we will miss them dearly.
july was fun, but went by way too quickly- kevin and i also celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary, but that deserves it's own post-
