July fill in the blank

 We got a hammock! It's been a big hit. 

making sure the dog bed is nice and worn in before bringing an actual dog home 

sandbox game is still going strong (even now in September! these pictures are all from July)

Jack likes to experiment with food. Today's treat was reese's peanut butter cups topped in hefty amounts of sprinkles. He was VERY proud of himself so it was impossible to turn one down!

Little sleeping angels! Natalie wasn't asleep yet when I took these pictures 

I'm grateful to be in this house. It's so happy and bright and colorful and clean (sometimes). 

working on puzzles

We got to see our friends! The Ashdowns live here and we do too (obviously), but the Stauffers were driving home from Utah to Nebraska and the Siddoways were moving from Nebraska to Washington and the stars aligned so we were all here at the same time!

The bounce house is still getting good use. Our grass is looking rather parched!
