July

Book club is my favorite evening every month!

Cute Abby.

Brig was eagerly waiting to go to the pool one day.

We went to Nauvoo.

 We love Cow Appreciation Day!

I found Laurel asleep at the top of the stairs when I went to bed one night.

I've been doing a different regimen with my hair lately to see if I can encourage better curls.  This is day 1 and what my curls typically looked like.

These are one month in.  Overall, my curls seem to be getting better.

We found free books!

After digging for a couple hours, we went home with two large boxes full.

We went to the Como Zoo in Minneapolis.  Our friend, Tiona, came with us.

We went back for a second round of looking through the free books.

We went to the county fair.

We accidentally discovered some objects that refract light in the little girls' room.  They had so much fun with it.

Abby lost her first tooth!

Family Pictures

We had new family pictures taken in May.  The kids were being total stinkers the entire time, so I was super worried that we didn't have any good group shots.  Our photographer is wonderful, though, and she captured lots of good ones.
