July and Feeding the Fam!

In July we celebrated Ryan's 17th birthday.

(I will have to post more pictures later, because my computer isn't cooperating with adding pictures!!) And Kristi and Makenzi came for about a week and we have fun pictures I will share with you another time, but oh, we LOVED having them here! This was the first time Kristi came without Robby. We did miss Rob, but we were happy Kristi stayed here with us

(she could have stayed with her aunt).

This is Kenzi in her "Daddy Mode." If there is a video on that has their attention,

you might as well, forget getting it!!

After her trip to Chuck E. Cheese!!
Isn't she a doll?! Oh, I miss her!!


We went over to Jerry and Liz's to celebrate Jerry's 33rd birthday.

Jerry and Larry... They look about as much alike as my boys do!

Jerry, Liz, Trenton and Chloe
