July

Ok here's what happened in July -

Celebrating July 4th in Grand Lake has been a long standing tradition of ours. Every year we have such a great time. Their fireworks display only seems to get better. We also hiked up to Adams Falls. Alayna just loved watching the falls, she sat on the wall and was not scared at all. Oh and of course we also went fishing. The best part about fishing was that Alayna caught the biggest fish! I think this was her first time to fish vs. just playing and watching. All three limited out and we had a great fish fry lunch. (Thanks Dad!)

The next weekend we decided to send the 2 big boys out to Utah with Papa Dennis. They had a great time. We joined them 2 days later and loved playing in the new water park and hanging out with family. It's a bummer we can't all be together more often. The kids also enjoyed playing riding the 4-wheeler with Kassie and her friend Kyle.

Kyle had a few kittens running around, Alayna had fun loving them.

A fun milestone for Corbin was teaching him to clap on the drive home. I just love the way their little hands try so hard to slap together, and the way their face lights up when it works! At the end of the month he started taking steps while holding onto my fingers, and then would let go and just stand. He is good at standing, all alone, not moving, just there in the middle of the room... and then boom he sits down. It is so cute. You tell him "good job" and he claps. He is such a joy at this age it totally makes me smile!
