Our July Via Instagram

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but I have some old scrap booking stuff that I never use. I got it out for Carter one day and he loved it. While I was getting my grocery list ready Carter was at his desk playing with these stickers. He would come and put them on my back and think it was so funny. I forgot he put them on my back and we went to the summer movie and then to Wal-Mart with them stuck on my back. It was in Wal-Mart that Carter noticed them on my back and we took them off. silly Boy!

This was the same day. A movie and then grocery shopping wore him out!

Carter fixing his desk with his hammer. 

We went to the LDS Book store and they gave Carter this balloon.

One morning I must have had the AC too low. Carter needed three blankets to get warm. I thought it felt pretty good!

This is an adoption book I read to Carter. I can't get past the first few pages without crying! 

One morning I took Carter, Brynli and Kodi to the splash pad that is by our house.

Kodi came to play one day. 

One of the quotes I read in my reading this month.

Carter using  a nail file as a ramp for his cars. 

when you don't have a holster for your water gun just put it in the back of your shirt :)

We went to Joe's Crab Shack and Carter put this bib on and asked "I get my hair cut mom?"

I had some bananas that were going bad and made banana bread. With all of the bananas I had to triple and a half the recipe!

Swimming at Ryan's with the kids. 

One night we stayed up late and watched a movie. Carter tried so hard to stay awake but ended up falling asleep about 5min before the movie was over. 

Dacia had her baby the beginning of July and it KILLED me that I had to wait a whole week to go see her and was so excited when I could finally go. The weather was cool and rainy. So nice. When we got there the temp was 66!

I walked into the room to Tytan and Qwynci doing this. I thought it was funny. Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair! 

Carter, Tytan and Qwynci ready to watch a movie. 

Tytan has this fun Fire truck bed in his room. Carter got to take his naps in it but at night he wanted to sleep by me on the blow up bed beside the cool bed. 

I got to do a photo session with Marqie. More of these pics to come!

The sunset the night before we left. 

From the time we got to Dacia's I don't think Carter took off that hat. He thought this dog was real because it would make noise sometimes. He called Tytan Kodi and even when we would correct him he would say "no, that Kodi" We had a lot of fun!

Sometimes I wake up before Carter does and sometimes I just like to watch him sleep!

Loving on the new baby Marqie

Back to Phoenix weather :(

Carter got these balls out of the machine while we waited for out pizza one evening. When we got home he wanted me to take a picture of them.

I have LOVED the clouds that come in during the day and in the evening. 

Sometimes James has to work while I am working at home. Because with my job I have to be on the phone answering pages so Carter has to entertain himself. He can pretty much do what he wants. I put a movie on for him and gave him some popcorn. When I came to check on him there was popcorn all over the floor and he wanted to me take a picture of his popcorn :)

One morning I got out of the shower to find this on my floor and carter telling me they are clues of a green monster! With about 4 of these on the floor there was surely a green monster at our house that morning!  Love the imagination of a three year old!

Our watercolor art!

One day when we went to Wal-Mart Carter had .50 cents in his pocket. The donuts are only .50 cents so he picked out a pink one, took it to the register and paid for it all by himself!

Another quote from my reading this month!

Carter's hair cut and his sugar rush car. He found this car at the park a few weeks ago and calls it his sugar rush car from the movie "Wreck It Ralph" He takes the car everywhere!

At Brynli's birthday! They had swimming, a pinata and cupcakes!

The other morning we went to the park at 6:30 in the morning. Carter has been wanting to go but in the afternoon it is just too hot so we went right when we woke up. 

After the park Carter and I had a breakfast date so dad could have more quiet time to sleep because he worked the night before. Yes I did go to the restaurant with my morning hair and no makeup. 

This one is as Kodi's birthday party. Kristen made Minion cupcakes, so cute! they played with balloons, pin the tail on the unicorn and freeze dance. She then served them lunch and cupcakes and ice cream. She is amazing! Carter fell and hit his head on the step by their door and got a nice bruise and bump on his head.

that was our July!
