July 2013

We started off the month of July with Aaron's family!  We met them in Cedar City, Utah to spend some quality time at the Lunt Family cabin in Cedar Canyon.

Carter can be such a grump.

As you can see, we had some fun with Aaron and Haylee's new ipad.  

Swimming at Cedar City's pool helped us keep cool while we spent time with Aaron's family.  The cabin got really warm with no AC

We went into town one day for Kirk to show us some landmarks in Cedar City.  This statue is of Henry Lunt.

One day we met Aaron's family in Las Vegas.  113 degrees is a very long hot drive!

Best part of Vegas was going to the temple.  It is beautiful.

When we left the Lunt Cabin, we headed back to my parents to get ready to drive back to Ohio.  Ryan thought he was helping me fold laundry.

Olivia loved it when someone would actually let her paint their face.

Adele loves Grandma Harper.  Even though Grandma Harper claims Adele beats her up.

Driving home on the 5th of July...tired for all the 4th festivities!

Ryan was so kind to leave me a little room on the bed at the hotels

One of my best friends came to visit me a week after we got home.  Karen Bradley!  Love this girl.  She offered me some much needed and wise advice on having a child with special needs.

We got our summer list made...though we are now down to 2 1/2 weeks and I don't know we'll finish it up :(

Lemonade Stand is always a top priority in the summer.

They had five different officers come get lemonade and cookies!  Claimed that the first officer radioed them and said they were the best cookies in town :)  (I'll take credit for that)

Catching fireflies

And letting the fireflies go

Vanessa gave this dress to Olivia when Olivia was four years old.  Vanessa claimed it was her Zuzu dress.  Now it fits Haylee!

Haylee getting her 41 minute EEG  She did so great!

She even fell asleep for it, which was the goal.

Aaron took Carter and Olivia to the drive-in movie.  I stayed home with my early birds, Haylee and Ryan.

Matching faux-hawks!

We met our friends, the Shadowens, at Parky's Farm for lunch and play.
