July Photo Favorites

July was a real banner month for us! Some high highs and some low lows! 

We started off July 1 with potty training Walker. At 2.5 he was ready but not overly interested. After 4 long long days and lots of teetee in the bed, he mastered it and I couldn't be prouder of him! He went cold turkey from diapers to underwear 24hours a day and never went back! Go Walker!

We played outside using water to try to survive the heat. 

Our annual 4th of July celebration at church was a fun time as usual! 

More outside time before going to see the fireworks at PV. Poor Walker is just plain scared of those things! Too loud he says. 

Dance party in the den!

Then on the 6th I went to the doc for what I thought was a UTI, and found out we were expecting baby #3! To say I was shocked is an understatement! And I was all alone at my doctor's office! I called Birc and he didn't even believe me!

Sweet cuddles. 

Then there's a week lapse in photos because I was in the hospital with kidney stones!!! Worst pain of my entire life and to top it off I was barely pregnant. Anna came and kept the kids, drove the minivan, made lunches and dinners, the whole bit! Aaron, my parents, and Birc's parents also got in plenty of hours helping us survive that week. Coming home and passing that 6mm stone was such a relief. 

About a week later we went out to get some photos of our family. It was so hot and only like 9 am. But we got some cute ones!

In other news the kittens are growing!

Savannah got to go to her first VBS and thought it was so amazing! She loved every second!

Even though Walker couldn't attend yet he still wore the colors of the day each day. 

Savannah had her first sleepover with her bestie Charlee! We painted nails, dressed up, at pizza, made brownies, and played. Walker was a little shadow all night and wanted to be with the girls so badly!

Then we went up to Searcy and grandad and Birc took the kids night swimming!

Later on in July we had swim lessons. Those wear me out. But hopefully they'll pay off!

A fire truck came to visit our school! Walker was in heaven!

Back at CC and Grandad's, Savannah planned a surprise for me and she and CC baked a cake for me. It was so sweet how she tiptoed around and whispered all day long. 

Ended the month snuggled with my girl.
