More from July

July was a super busy month. Here's a quick recap of what we did.

Well she finally made it up and is ready to crawl, but can only go backwards Here's Maryssa out watching her mommy and daddy play volleyball on the 4th. Although neither of us won, we had a great time and the heat was tollerable this year!

Followed by some fireworks, which Maryssa loved!

We bought a new truck. Since Eric got Patches (an old beat up Ranger) he has been dying to get a new truck...so here it is. Welcome to the family Mater,

Maryssa loves Uncle Michael's motorcycle.

She's just so cute!

We went out to NJ for a day to surprise Peanut for his birthday.

Maryssa playing in her new ball pit. At first she wasn't sure about but after her friend Taylor came over and showed her how to move the balls around, she's loving it.

Maryssa with her second cousins, the Hurley kids. They are visiting from Panama this month so we spent lots of time visiting with them.

Just the babies. Natalie is only 4 months, but looks like she's going to out grow our little peanut.

Here's a quick video of our trip to South Mountain Creamery where we fed the babies. Maryssa loved them.

MI Trip and more

Last month we travled up to MI to visit family and lay Grandpa to rest. Grandpa's service was just immediate family and a nice way to say goodbye. We laughed and cried as we share our favorite memories of him. Grandpa was always into sports and loved sharing his knowledge with his grandchildren. We also got to spend time with mom Aunt Terri (mom's sister) and her family. We took trips out on the boat, chatted a lot and got to play cards all week. It was great to see everyone since it's been so long since we've all been together. Maryssa got to meet everyone and play with her second cousin.

We also traveled out to dad's old stomping grounds. It was neat to see where he grew up and hear stories about the crazy things he did when he was younger. We went there when I was still in 4th or 5th grade, but I didn't remember to much of our trip. However, I will never live down the huge dive I took racing dad down the sand dune. I knew I had to go back and prove I could get all the way down this time without falling, but now they won't let you climb them :-( So much for rewritting history.
