July

Fun summer days, swimming and eating popsicles!

Even though we haven't had a typical summer, we still found ways to have fun this month!

Each week we had a theme for the girls that we'd do activities for each theme. Our first week was pirate week! The girls' favorite part was dressing up as pirates and going on a treasure hunt.

Tyler went back to work in the beginning of July after his 16 week parental leave! It was sad to have him working again, because I got really spoiled with him being able to take care of the kids. But luckily he's still just working in the basement, so its not too bad.

I had a birthday, shout hooray! I made a delicious white chocolate raspberry cheesecake! Yum!

We had a smores night.

My perfectly roasted smore

We tried to see Comet Neowise. We drove out of town, but we still couldn't see it too great. The girls were super excited and loved looking at the stars

We had a fun day at Mama and Papas house. We played on the slip n slide, and roasted smores.

Building the tallest tower, it goes all the way to the ceiling!

Riley is getting so big! The girls still try to hold her, but she's getting a little too big for them to hold now!

Tyler says this is the best thing that's come from quarantine- this BYU face mask I made him!

Tyler's big project of this month has been replacing all the weed barrier under our rocks with tarps to stop all the weeds from growing! He's been working hard all month, but hopefully it will save us hours and hours of weed pulling!

Madelyn blew out her tires in her old bike, and luckily my parents were able to find her a new bike! (Bikes are super rare in the stores right now!) The new one didn't come with training wheels, but before we even had a chance to put the training wheels from the old bike on she just took of riding on two wheels! Without any help at all she just started riding down our driveway!
