My favorites

 These kids are the best, so lucky they are mine

Stapp Family Pictures

 For Christmas last year I gave Art and Debbi a gift card to get our family pictures done with our awesome photographer. These are all of my very favorites, but I don't think there was any bad ones:)

Trip to MN

Brilee, Brexten and I made a trip out to MN for my cousins wedding mid-July.  We had the best time.

We were delayed about 90 minutes on the way out, but we made the most of it, by getting snacks, Factiming our brothers and buying presents:)

Brilee enjoys taking selfies...

...and pictures of whatever she can find

Brilee has a thing for the gymnasts in the Olympics, so she was excited to find this

She was so beautiful at the wedding

And I was sure lucky to get this dapper dude as my date

Brilee and Tristan - they are the best of friends

Too bad they are cousins;)

July 4th and Wild Animal Sanctuary

Brilee asks almost weekly to go to the Wild Animal Sanctuary, but it is just so expensive, they finally have allowed a membership type thing so we took the kids last week.  It was pretty hot but they had fun.

My favorite animal there is the white tiger

I sure wish I could be pushed around in a stroller by someone every time we go out:)

Bryden really seemed to like the bears

I'm not sure what the male version of diva is, but whatever it is, this one is it!

Don't I have a good looking crew?

I had plans to have all of our friends over on the 4th for a BBQ and our wonderful landscapers made that impossible, I was pretty disappointed, but at least these 4 helped

The Rusaw's were nice enough to ask us over for dinner that night even though I cancelled on them, these 8 always have fun together:)

July has come!!

Where has the summer gone?? I feel like about the time July starts the summer is over, I know it's not, but it just seems to go by so much faster once it's July.

This little lady has had a great summer so far, she really is a summer baby

And this one, thinks he needs to be older and wants to grow up too fast:(

Bryden and his open mouth smile - it's the new rage at our house

The absolute best big brother around

We had a fun playdate at the park with our friends, it's hard to believe when we first met them Brennar was 3 months and Eli 4 months, not to mention there was only 2 kids, now there are 7!

We had some landscaping done to our back yard and they had to do some cement, so lucky me I got to put my kids' prints in it - now I don't ever want to leave this house

Just one of the many outfits of Brilee

We LOVE us some Chick-fil-a!!

 

I thought the other kids were dare-devils, they ain't got nothing on this one!  Lord help me!!!
