July

"Summer in July is like a dream come true where the days are long and the nights are warm."

Our first birthday this month was - Patrick - who turned 3 on the 7th.

On the 17th, Amanda turned 26...and then on the 30th, Alex turned 25.

And speaking of Alex and Amanda, it was four years and counting for them on the 3rd.

And has it really been 27 years for Emily and Geoff on the 18th?!

God bless America, my home sweet home!

The Texas folks enjoyed the 4th on the lake...

Emma went to Stadium of Fire...

Who doesn't love a good parade?!

Lincoln and Oliver marched in the Rexburg Parade...

And Grandpa and the boys even had time to do a little work around the house.

A couple of funerals brought the McClellan siblings together this month. 

Emily and Mac came!

They kept busy with...

Track Camp...

Hiking and treasure hunting...

Swimming and visits with the family here and there...

Ice cream at Baskin Robins served up by the cutest guy ever!!

Cousin time and parties in the back yard...

...and front yard...

And then, all too soon, they were gone. 

But July wasn't over yet!

The NJMs and KJLs took an 'Antelope by Moonlight' bike ride.

Shelly accompanied Ryan to Oklahoma - because that's what you do when you're just a couple again.  😂 

Talk about diversity...they not only went to the temple but visited 2500 bison while there.

Rosie settled into her new life.

The DARs kept busy in the Idaho sunshine.

Emma completed her summer of FSY sessions.

BYU and our little Freshman Erin brought new friends and new adventures that kept her from getting toooooo homesick.😏

At least she's not alone!

We finished the month with another trip - the NJMs traveled to Denmark and Sweden, where they met up with Michael and Austin and Diane and Lily.

And this was topped off with...

On July 27, Michael and Austin were married in Copenhagen.

That pretty much wrapped up our month! 

So with that we say...
