hello, July

Let's back up a bit and talk about June...

 Justin and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary and our first year of home ownership. Along with owning a home comes the joys, like my first zucchini from my garden;

and frustrations -

We had a couple limbs fall in the backyard (don't worry - those are cable wires)

Jonah and Griffin made it to Texas twice in June.

 Justin turned 30 and we celebrated at the car dealership and finally replaced our car that was totaled months ago with an old Ford Explorer. And a tasty chocolate cake.

 Jonah played his first video game - mariocart on the wii. He loved it.

We've spent lots of time in the pool. This last weekend we went to a pool party with Justin's co-workers to celebrate the end of their year. July 1 starts Justin's third (and hardest, allegedly) year of residency.

 I'm not the best at taking pictures... but got one of the boys with their beach balls before we left. They have so much fun in the water. Here's the one pic someone did take:

Me and Whitney at the pool party... don't worry I'm sure someone was watching the boys!

I'm sure I'm missing lots - it's pretty tough to cover a whole month in one post. Maybe I'll try and be better about that this month :)
