July

Another busy month! Kade turned 2 on the 2nd, Garrett 2 months on the 6, and Lindsey had a birthday of some sort on the 13th (not as exciting when you're over 30...).


Our tradition the last 2 years is to have my dad take family pictures on Kade's birthday, we unfortunately had very uncooperative boys that day so this was about as good as it got. Try again next year I guess!



This year Kade wanted basketball cupcakes so we made up a bunch and took them to lunch at the park to share with our friends!




Our friends own a paddleboard company and were nice enough to invite us to go with them quite a few times! It was so much fun and even though I couldn't go far from the sad baby on the shore, I loved just sitting watching the bigger kids jump off the docks, play in the sand, and just have fun together.




passed out after paddleboarding on the 4th.

I also went dairy free for a few weeks the end of June/beginning of July, to try to help baby Garrett feel better. He still just cried in pain often and never did poop regularly. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to help much so he/we just kept suffering through it. The saving grace was that he was a decent sleeper.






We did fireworks on the 4th at Oma and Opa's with the Rice's. When we went to get fireworks, Nate (who hates fireworks) said he didn't want to buy any, blah blah blah. So I said let's just let the boys spend like $20 and call it good. Well $75 later Nate was in heaven picking out all the fireworks! It was comical with him trying to decide which ones and talking the boys into them.








Spencer lost his first top tooth in July! Tooth number 4, we've started calling him Toothless!


The boys LOVE Chick-fil-A. They ask for it probably every day. Cow appreciation day came and we made sure to dress up! We even had our nephew Everett with us and the boys were in heaven! And thankfully, it wasn't even crowded!



Nate, Garrett and I took a birthday lunch date to Tucanos since Nate had never been. It was fine, neither of us were overly impressed, especially with it being pricey. Bummer. But fun to get out! And Nate and the boys got me flowers and balloons, though Nate tried to blame this balloon on Kade...



This was my dairy-free dessert pizza birthday treat I made instead of cake since I was still eating dairy-free at this point.

The highlight of July was getting to go to the Garth Brooks concert!!! I have wanted to see Garth in concert for years! At one point Nate and I had even looked into going to one of his shows in Vegas!
My siblings and I bought my dad a ticket for Father's Day, so we went with my parents and it was just so fun! For sure the greatest concert I've ever been too! It was so memorable! The sound even went out for like 20 minutes at one point and they struggled getting it back on! Blake Shelton also made an appearance because they were filming for their duet so that was kinda cool. It was a late night but sooo worth it!








this is Blake Shelton


The Boise Zoo had a big addition that opened earlier in the summer and we finally got around to seeing it with "the girls" as my boys call them.







We finally made it up to the lake with Opa's boat! We had fun tubing with the Rice boys and I was a bit surprised I still remembered how to wakeboard since it had been a few years.



Some more fun from July
