July

Gabriela was holding this candy for a whole 2 minute car ride and when we got home I asked what she did, and she said, "oops, I forgot. I didn't realize I ate everything." She apparently wasn't paying attention and absentmindedly ate through the wrapper, and ate 1 starburst (wrapper and all), and nibbled on the next one! Crazy kid.



We got a few good monsoons this month!! You can see in the background, the trees blowing over and you can't see the sky because it's pure rain. It came in sideways and we had some sweet lightening and thunder. It was awesome! I'm so glad my girls love it as much as I do :)



We went to the temple this month and brought the kids with us. It was a little toasty, but they were good about it and loved seeing all the different kind of flowers and greenery in bloom (sorry no pics of that...you'll have to take my word for it, that it was gorgeous!)



At the end of July, Danny was presenting at a conference in Sedona again. His work was paying him to be there for 4 days, so I decided to go with as an early 15 year anniversary trip! My sister watched the kids and we were kid-free for the first time in 13+ years!! It was so nice to have some down time with just the two of us. Very refreshing and serene.



We hoped to hike every day, but only got out twice. I hope they ask him to go every year :)



Gabriela has been asking to help with my quilts for a long time now, but there's not to much she can do. This was the perfect one for her to help with and she did a fabulous job remembering which pattern goes where!



Ronan is now 16 months and finally started walking!! He has just learned Ring-Around-the-Rosie and loves it. He sings "AAAAA-shes, AAAAA-shes" all day long. Too cute. While the kids are out playing, Gabriela decided to try and teach Ronan how to do somersaults and his head on the ground is all he can do so far :)
