As for July...

July was a fun filled busy month for us too! We had lots of birthdays this month. It was great to be in the US for the 4th of July this year (although I don't really have any pictures!). Both of our families got together at my parent's house and enjoyed the day swimming, playing badminton & bocce ball and then most of us headed out to Canandaigua Lake for fireworks & ice cream. It was great! Dan and I also celebrated 8 years of marriage on the 13th but those pictures are still on my phone (we forgot our camera!). But below are some pictures of what else happened in July:

oops! Accidentally deleted this picture from the other Seabreeze pics and after the fourth try, gave up. It is staying right here on top!!

2nd week of July Eli & Dan went to Camp Hickory Hill for a Father/Son Retreat. (Toby wasn't old enough this year). They had so much fun together! Archery, shooting, campfires, swimming...Eli learned how to swim with just his water wings and is now fearless when it comes to the water!

July 10th we went to SeaBreeze with my mom's work. The kids had a blast! What a great park for the ages of my children. There was so much for them to do!

Can you believe it? Eli and Toby are in the first car! This is their first time ever on a roller coaster.

Boys started gymnastics. Toby wouldn't participate the first time but now they both LOVE it and count down the days till they go back.

July 16th: My Grandma's birthday

Jessi, me, and Mom with Grandma after her birthday dinner.

July 17th Silas turned one!

(this event will get its own post :) )

After turning one, Silas is now facing forward. He loves it!

We had dinner with the Maloney's. Kevin and Dan met at Camp Hickory Hill. What is so interesting is that every year we had a child, so did they!

July 22 - July 31 Dan headed out West with guys from church for a Yosemite National Park adventure.

July 31st my little sister turned 28!

The Sunday before she found out she and her husband are expecting their first baby!

We are super excited for them.
