What a month!!

I can't believe July is almost over!  We have had the best (and busiest) few weeks.  We had a relaxing 4th of July, this is actually the first year we've got to the fireworks here in town.  The boys were pretty excited.  After the 4th weekend we had some friends of ours that got married, it was a beautiful wedding.  Sawyer was an awesome dancer!!!!  He even got to dance a dance with the bride, which he thought was pretty cool.  Sawyer has been going to Y summer camp everyday and he is exhausted.  He is learning so much and having so much fun.  He is making the best friends too!  In mid July we had to take Garrett in for a pediatric neurologist appointment for his tics.  The Dr. confirmed that he has a tic disorder, Tourettes.  The good part of all of it is that the tics won't lead to any learning disabilities or any serious medical conditions but they will likely continue for a long time.  They seem to come and go depending on stress levels or how tired he is.  Lately he has been blinking a lot but not as much grunting, the Dr. said the tics will sometimes change too.  After that excitement we had cousin Mary come stay with us for a week and a half!  She got to go to summer camp with Sawyer and I think she had a blast.  It was different having a girl in the house, she talks all the time!  I learned more about camp in the week she was here than Sawyer has told me all year! We have missed her the last couple of days, it's sure quiet around here!  We haven't taken many pictures lately but here are a few.

The boys watching some of the fireworks, they thought the fireworks were pretty cool!  Also a side note that the fireworks made Garrett blink like crazy, I think he was a little scared.

 Camping with Cousin Mary.  She was having fun digging in the dirt with the boys.

 Kids singing silly songs and roasting marshmallows.  They were sure having fun!

 We took Molly on a little hike and made the kids pose for a picture over the stream.  About two seconds after I took this Garrett fell off the logs and Kyle just barely caught him, it was too fast for me to snap another picture of the almost disaster!

 Garrett loves jumping off everything.  He has to climb every rock and jump off it.  The kids has no fear.

 Family picture with the addition of Mary!

 This weekend I took a Saturday off from the Farmer's Market (I've been selling my sewing stuff and doing really well!!).  We had a relaxing day yesterday and today we went to Minneopa Lake to try and fish a little.  It turns out it was pretty cold up there and we didn't stay too long but it was a beautiful drive and hike!

 The boys have been loving crafts lately.  Here they are making trains!  Such a mess but they actually hold still for about 10 minutes so it's worth it :)

Lots planned for August, should be a fun month!!!
