Catching Up...July Fun

Since we were going to be in St. Louis on the actual day of July 4, we decided to let the girls do some little fireworks and sparklers a few nights before.  Uncle Jason and Ryan were having a little trouble getting them to light....=)

But all the girls loved their sparklers!  Although I will say that keeping four kids(well three, because clearly Emory wasn't going to be holding a sparkler...just Ansley, Brynn, and Charli) under the age of five without burning each other with sparklers was a little tricky...hence the reason there are only 2 pictures of our fireworks.  HA!

Cutting up and eating some watermelon...

And we got around to making some homemade ice cream with Ryan's new ice cream maker!  We made strawberry and it was delicious!

 A couple of weeks after we got back from the beach Emory got her two bottom teeth.  The first one came in SO easy, you wouldn't even know she was teething.  Then several days later she starting cutting the second one and IT WAS NOT REAL FUN!  She slept okay at night and at naptime, but anytime she was awake, she was GLUED to me.  She wouldn't let me move two inches away from her.  I guess because she just didn't feel good and needed some comfort?  Who knows.  Thankfully, the worst part lasted only a couple of days and she is back to her normal self.

We've been checking out the new house...I need to do an update soon.  They are drywalling as we speak!  (Brynn likes to go out there and "clean.")

The teeth came in and she was back to HAPPY GIRL!

We had fun watching the World Cup soccer tournament.  GO USA!

And Brynn has enjoyed taking pictures of herself on my phone.  =)

July has been SO FUN...DON'T END SUMMER, DON'T END!
