July Birthday Celebrations

July is birthday month around here.  Will turned two on July 14th and I turned twenty-five on the 18th. Last year we went all out for Will's 1st birthday.  It probably had something to do with the fact that I was still in recovery from surgery with nothing to do for the 4 weeks leading up to his big day...  Anyway, this year we scaled back and threw a little family party at Grant's parents' house.


Will is all about treats.


Our friends Alison & Travis came to celebrate with us.


As well as Aunt Cheech, Uncle Matthead, and Uncle Matthead's brother Kirk.


Mumsie and Grumsie rose to the occasion and supplied an incredible spread of food despite us telling them we were coming just earlier that day... You rock Mumsie & Grumsie!!


Will was quite pleased with his little shindig.


And we even managed to sneak in a little family picture.  (We're lucky if this happens annually, it seems!)


For my birthday, Grant convinced our friend Chris to take us rock climbing!  I was so so excited.



I wore my new Lululemon clothing from my mama.  Not the best climbing attire... but man, I looked good!


Our trusty guide.


Best birthday planner ever.


It was a great warm-up for my First Descents trip that's coming up in a few weeks!  I'll be climbing in NY for a week with a group of cancer survivors.  Hoorah!






It was gorgeous, and wonderful, and so much fun.  Can't believe my baby is two and I'm a whole-quarter century old!

Fourth of July

It indeed happened over a month ago... but here's the recap of our 4th of July.


We headed to Town Center for a few adventures.  Will loved the carriage ride and the horses.








He got a balloon animal; a dog, of course.


And then we waited in line for the bounce house for 30 minutes.


He was the 1st one in the bounce house and was jumping all over the place...


Until the big kids started funneling in...



And he had a mini-meltdown...


He refused to move from that spot in the middle.  The bouncy house was a little full, and a little crazy, and Will was frozen with fear.


We eventually convinced him to crawl over to the side and he felt much better bouncing over there.



After all the excitement, (and almost having to go into the bounce house ourselves to get Will to leave), we headed to Freddy's for a custard cone.


Man, that stuff is good.






Happy (belated) Fourth!

Mowing

Will loves mowing with his daddy.
