Given Grace: July Misc

Apparently the month of July was a big picture-taking month!

We got to Jenna's gymnastics class early, so we hung out in the car for a little bit.

Closely examining those hands

We got to watch our nephews one evening while Kelley and Brian went out. They are so sweet and lots of fun! I just love this picture with Bentley's tongue sticking out! :)

Sweet boys!

Me and my Aiden

Playing so well

I took the boys on a walk around the neighborhood.

They were tuckered out by the end of it!

We picked up a bike for Grant at a garage sale this summer. We weren't sure if he'd get the hang of it by the end of the summer or not, but were surprised how quickly he took to it!

Now he loves riding his bike

Video of Grant riding his bike:

I'm definitely not an expert picture taker with my phone, but love this sweet smile from Hannah.

This past month she started lifting her head a little more while on her tummy. She can't hold it up for long, but at least she's lifting it off the ground now!

Still love the times she's asleep snuggled in my arms!

Drew gave the kids $1 to spend at the Dollar Store and Grant decided to get an ice-cream treat - smart kid!

Jenna got some Starbursts. Hmm....maybe next time we should put some limitations on what exactly they can get. :)

Jenna said she made (from left to right) Daddy, B, Jenna, and Hannah.

Sporting her new swimsuit

Not so gracefully practicing the slip-n-slide

Love seeing them playing together, especially when there are smiles on their faces!

We made dirt pudding one night

Drew went for a jog and then when he got back Jenna and Grant wanted to join him. So they jogged down the street and back a few times.

She loves being in Daddy's arms

Star gazing

Hannah's first stroller ride

So happy!

They love each other! Jenna can't get enough of Hannah and Hannah just lights up when she's around.

More tummy time...

Great lift!

Jenna was my helper and fed Hannah a bottle for me

All smiles as usual

Love this!

Homemade popsicles made using orange juice, strawberries, and yogurt. Yum!

Dirt pile fun - the messier, the better

The first time catching lightning bugs

I saw this recipe for Moon Dough - it's just flour and baby oil. The kids enjoyed playing with it, but next time I'll put it in two separate containers - Grant kept destroying Jenna's creations, which made for a not-so-happy Jenna. :)

We decided to build a fort on Mommy and Daddy's bed. The doors to their tents were together on the inside and they had their pillows, books, and flashlights. Thanks Aunt Kelley and Uncle Brian for the fun tents!
