July 2012 Cell Pictures

Happy Independence Day!  We spent the day relaxing and cooking out with some great friends.  After some yummy food we headed to the local July 4th celebration!  They had bouncy houses which HC & Emma had a blast playing in.  

They even got a little princess action in before the fireworks got started.

Sweet patriotic girls.

HC spent some time with Nana.  Of course they did some shopping and this was the picture I was sent.

Every July our church has a service day for the community.  In the past we have always found a major project and went to work.  This summer we decided to head over to one of the big events at a local neighborhood.  We decided it was time for Hannah Claire to start working to help others and seeing that not everyone is as blessed as she is.  When we arrived we were assigned to the food prep station.  Our girl went straight to work.  She put condiments in boxes like it was her job!

We finished filling boxes and without any directions HC saw that boxes needed to moved from one place to another.  She went straight to work. 

After that HC walked around passing out extra cookies to the kids at the event.  She is such a sweet girl with a tender heart.  

Silly boy.

What?  Did I do something wrong?

This was our dinner with Aunt Lorie at the beach!

This was a text we got from school.  There was a birthday party and a chocolate cupcake.  The rest is history.

Shane took this picture coming home one day.  If you look closely you can see the double rainbow over our old house.  This was right before we moved and a great going away present for us.  We loved that house.  It was where we spent the majority of our married life so far together.  It was where we brought both children home from the hospital.  There are times we miss this house but it was a great house and God clearly had His hand on the entire selling of that house.  We really felt the Lord leading us to put it on the market, even though it didn't make any sense.  We did it for sale by owner and had an offer with days of putting it on the market.  God really has a way of working things out.   I am so thankful He is smarter than me!

Wyatt was not sure what to think about the wind blowing through his hair.
