Where did July Go???

Just because I have not been documenting it, does not mean that July has not been busy busy.  We started the month off with a wedding.  July 3rd Kelsey Bitton married Skylar Lamb at her parents' house here in Pasco. It was a beautiful wedding and lots of fun to see all of my family who had come to visit.  Emersyn was thrilled to have Gracee AND Delaney there together, although there was slighly more fighting and hitting than playing----I am not always sure how things will end up with those 3.

I decided Emersyn was ready for a big girl hair-do---even though her hair is still pretty much baby hair.  She sat still and let me curl it---kinda cute for a change:)  I cannot wait until she gets "real" hair!!!

The wedding had a Mardi Gras theme and Em really liked the decorations the most:)

And of course Delaney, Em (and I am not sure where Grace is in this picture) enjoyed the chairs---FOR A LONG TIME!!!

I am not sure why I did not get a single picture of the wedding, decorations, family, nothing.  I think I was just trying to make it through without getting sick and enjoy myself a little bit. 

The next day for the 4th we had everyone come over to our house.  We celebrated with my Vermilyea cousins from Idaho, the Wieselers, the Waters, Marilee and Kevin, and of course my mom, dad, and sister's family.  We tried to set up the backyard as kind of a kid paradise.  We had the pool, water slide, bounce house, water table, and swing set.  They pretty much did not stop playing (except for the occasional hairpulling session).

Em experienced her first sparklers (and sparkler burn).

Jen brought along the New Years hats and noise makers since they were such a big hit in January.  They were still a hit in July:)

Although I managed to take the worst pictures EVER, it was a fun weekend.
