Hello July! You Make Me Smile.

Oh Mama... MORE PICTURES?

July 1st -

Legos and Singing on a Friday Morning

NO PT for Jase this morning - 

Jase doesn't like his picture taken and he refuses to do anything if the camera is pointed at him.

Don't worry, I got him to sing without noticing what I was up to.

And off he goes to have breakfast with Grandma Belinda at Grandma Emma's house.

July 2nd -

What's better then sleeping in on Saturday Morning,

while listening to the much needed rain patter against the window?

Daddy making Saturday Morning Blueberry Pancakes.

Jase must really like them, this is is his second pancake!

July 4th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

Home of the Free - Land of the Brave.

Friends and Fireworks!

July 6th - Another Zoo Day with our friend Noah and his sweet mama!
We enjoyed Zombie Burger and then chose a very HOT day to go to the zoo.
We braved the heat and the boys had an amazing time.

BEST FRIENDS!!

 

AHHH - Mama, there is a huge tiger behind me!

He touched the giant millipede from the Amazon

and then splashed in some puddles.

We ended our Zoo Adventure with the Curious George Exhibit and the Playground!

 READY, SET - GO!!
Down the Tunnel Slide.

July 8th - Another Day - Another Trip to Des Moines!

Since Jase had PT with Jill, I decided it was a great opportunity for a trip to Home Depot.
Jase really wasn't in the mood.

We headed home for a much needed nap and then dinner with Mama while she worked at the Elks. 

July 9th - A BUSY SATURDAY  

#messyhairdontcare
Cuddles and IPAD games with Mama.  No more pictures Mama!

Following a visit to Great Grandma Emma we played in the sand box.
Jase asked me to share this picture with Grandma because he was covered in sand.

Followed by Jase's First Movie at the Movie Theater.
The Secret Life of Pets

 He loved the popcorn, he loved the soda.  He loved sitting on Mama's lap.

It's been a great week.  July has been amazing for our family!
Thanks for letting us share our life in pictures -

The End of June - Our Summer Shenangians

Time to enjoy another week in pictures!  It really is hard to believe that today is the last day of June.

We have had an amazing month - thanks for allowing us to share our summer shenanigans with you.

June 26th -

Jase ordered his own ice cream cone this time. 

 I am beginning to see a summer Sunday night tradition here.
A trip to DQ in our pj's

June 27th -

A little boy and a vacuum.

I am so thankful he likes to help me clean!

Today, was also the first time since I burnt my foot that I have been able to put on tennis shoes!

I was so excited, we walked to Casey's for lunch.

Jase was pumped for pizza, chips and water for lunch!

A new meaning to lunch on the go....

We finished our walk by watering the flowers... and cleaning the landscaping blocks.

Please don't spray me Jase!

Jase spent the night with Grandma Belinda.

He enjoyed the first corn on the cob of the season.

June 28th -

Spending the night with Grandma Belinda means Tuesday mornings at the campground.

Jase loved the play equipment and spending time with Grandma.

He even enjoyed an early morning breakfast at Grandma Emma's house.

AND ....
We finished the day with cake.

Happy Birthday Grandma Pattee!

Jase loves cake.

 June 29th -

Have I mentioned these are the best days of my life?

Late night snuggles with this little boy always brings tears to my eyes.

Not only do I thank God for this precious one, 

but it is during these moments that I feel closest to Carter and Kaleb.

June 30th -

The last day of the month....
REALLY, How did our first month of summer go by so quickly?  

We were just to busy playing to take pictures this morning.

Brennon and I did take a moment to look at some of Jase's baby pictures tonight.

We were trying to find a few of Jase's pictures from the NICU to Now.

Jase continues to amaze us with how far he has come!

Check out these pictures from June 2014 - June 2015 - June 2016 :)
