First event is Brody is standing up to things now. He's pulling himself up to all things possible. He's climbing the first stair of our steps, he is cruising the entire length of the couch, it will be any day now that he lets go and takes off and we are NOT ready for that!
The next event was Bill's 32nd Birthday! He's getting OLD!!!! He has been working such long late hours we had a heck of a time actually getting to enjoy his birthday cake "like a family". The night of his birthday the 26th he worked till after 11 and both boys fell asleep waiting on him. The next night Brody was sleeping by the time he got home, but Cole was still awake, so we celebrated anyhow at 10:30 at night. We lit the candles, turned out the lights and sang daddy Happy Birthday!!! The best part of it all was eating the yummy cake Cole helped pick out!
Cole had to blow out the candles because daddy was too old to have the wind for it!
Daddy's other present... BIRTHDAY KISSES!!!!
The next big event of July was Vacation Bible School at Mt. Pleasant Christian Church. We had an amazing turnout this year! The kids had so much fun each night. They were all such great listeners. They put on little skits every night to "act out" what they learned about. Bev was the teacher for the little kids, she did a fantastic job! The kids all listened to her stories, and loved acting them out. The week was followed up by a carry in meal on Friday that had a turnout of over 25 which is AMAZING for our little church! Sunday service the kids also sang their VBS songs and lead the service. It was a wonderful week of VBS this year and many many thanks to Jennifer for all her hard work putting it all together, and Bev and Ryan for teaching the kids their lessons. The kids sure did have fun! Here's a pic of Friday's Family Night.
Now on to August... Oh my word! We have so many things this month to get through. Anna's roomate Kerstin passed away suddenly and very enexpectedly last week and her Funeral is Friday, Jenny has a Jewlery party, I have a Jewlery party with another company, My aunt Susan is turning 50 and her sisters are throwing her a Big birthday Bash, School Starts, Joe, Keith, Jeremy, Bev & Brody all have Birthdays this month! It's going to be a busy time for sure! Yep, that's what I said... my baby has his FIRST Birthday on the 29th. I can't believe he's been here a whole year already. I am pretty sad about this. I am so sad he's growing so fast! Every day it's something new with him. Today well, he decided to get into the kitchen trash and dumped the ENTIRE thing over on my floor. This was a horrible move on his part, because I had just gotten done cleaning out the fridge and pitched a ton of leftovers into it this morning. wHaT a MeSs!!! He was covered in gunk, my floor was a disaster and to top it all off, I was on the phone with the Dr's office setting up some appointments, Cole was yelling at Brody telling him he was bad, which got Brody crying because his feelings were hurt, I was trying to still carry on a conversation with the secretary, all the while clean up a screaming filthy little boy! It was pretty comical looking back now, but at the time I was flustered mess! What a morning! Let's all pray that this afternoon goes a lot smoother! It sure is HOT out there today. Another day with the heat index over 110. Whew. Stay cool everyone!
