Fastest month ever- JULY

Okay, I know I say this all the time, but where did summer go, how is July over already! What in the world! 

July was a bit more laid back than June was for us. For starters, we stayed in the COUNTRY, only went out of the state once, but still had lots of adventures! 

Our actual 10 year anniversary night. Relived Italy at an Italian restaurant and visiting the winery. Not the same, but still a very special day! 

North Kato Fun Days. 

Luke loving life

Ethan was good about going on the little kids rides with his brother. 

Luke not as paitent watching his big brother do the big kid rides. Here he is showing his best "I can be patient" pose. 

These two boys play SOOOO well together every day. Yes, they have their moments, but seriously around each all day and Luke just looks up to Ethan so much! 

At a Moondogs game where our neighbor through the first pitch in honor of Breast Cancer awareness. Ethan gave her 2 thumbs up in his pink shades. 

Waterparks, parks, pools, bike rides, walks are usually a daily occurrence for us. 

Luke with no fear jumping off the diving board without mom even in the water. 

Ethan and mom got out on the golf course for some real golfing. He out drove me on a few holes- it was a fun time. It was actually the first time I had done 9 holes post Ethan. I was a bit rusty! 

Love Luke and his baby blues!

Park picnic lunches. 

The boys and I went up to the cities to meet the Johnke's for an afternoon at Como Zoo. Always fun to catch up with them 

The monkeys

Ali is so darn cute!

Buddies!

Luke showing off his farmers tan!

We headed to Dysart for a few days mid-week to catch up with the Weber's- missing Aunt Christina though! 

We went to the waterpark in Waterloo. It was our first time, it is a good one!

Luke and Jacob having fun!

Silly boys!

The whole crew rocked it. No crying or complaining. I had fun with the girls going on some extreme rides! Great times! 

Smores at night for Brian's birthday

All the grandkids! Cannot believe how big they are all getting!

Luke learning to mow

Kathy's beautiful flower garden. We picked lots of veggies to take home too- it was great!

Boys and their toy- the GATOR! It was a short trip back, but great seeing everyone and catching up a bit. The kids always have fun playing together at the farm! Thanks J &K!

The boys got mom to go hiking. NOT MY THING- but we biked there and then hiked. 

Brad is obsessed with the falls. So, whenever dad picks the Sunday adventure he picks this- I pick swimming pools. 

So, this was July in a nutshell! LOVE all the time I get with the kids in the summer. Makes me think how I ever get anything done in the school year. Shh...can't say the sch word yet. I have one more month of SUMMER!
