The Fourth of July and our week in Weatherford were the big highlights of July, but we still squeezed in some other fun.
We attended the Affair of the Heart, and the girls came home with some new hair clips.
Nathan built a rocket. They shot them off when I was out of town for my girls' weekend.
For Elisabeth's birthday this year, she asked to redecorate her room. We spent time shopping for new aceessories.
We redeemed our summer reading program coupons for free cookies.
Ruthann called and asked if the kids wanted to help her with some tasks to prepare for a summer missions trip to Colombia. My kids happily obliged. They're the best helpers. They packed bags with coloring sheets, crayons, and candy while I cut out craft projects. Elisabeth's whole countenance lights up when she is serving. She finds such joy in it, and she is dying to go to Colombia with the team when she's older.
We celebrated their hard work with lunch afterward.
The Millers invited us to a water balloon fight one afternoon. Classic summer fun!
Matt spent a weekend painting (and repainting) Elisabeth's room and moving furniture around. She and I are so pleased with how her new room turned out. It was a special project to do together.
She's growing up so fast, and she loves her new more mature room style.
Summer afternoons were filled with lots of neighborhood friend time. They had an impromptu spa day one afternoon.
