July Birthdays

July is full of fun birthdays for us….not only Uncle Gray and myself, but loads of other family and friends. It is quite the party month. And calorie ridden month, and of course I helped contribute to the problem with my goodies!

Uncle Gray, who also goes by Uncle Stinky and Big G, turned 40 this year and we stayed in town to help him celebrate. On the day before his birthday there was a big cookout.

There was tons of good food and fun had by all. The kids (big and little!!) had a blast playing corn hole and ladder golf in the front yard. Oh, and don’t forget the hula hoops!

Eventually Avery took a break from playing and just took it all in from the porch….

Avery and little g decorate the backyard with flags.

This might have been my favorite gift I saw of the night!

We left before the band, cake and fireworks because some small attendees were getting veerrrryyyy sleeeeppppyyyyy.

And I know I only have like 1 pic of Will, courtesy of his g-ma I might add. But he spent practically the whole night playing games on her phone. He’s like a mini-pre-teen already.

Aunt J also has the same birthday as Uncle Gray, but we celebrated with her the following weekend. Aunt J and Uncle K have a pond on their property so of course fishing had to happen!

Jessica looked out the window and said “oh, it looks like they went out on the boat.” That’s when we quickly realized the adults were still on shore and it was a kids only cruise. I may have aged like 10 years during this boat/fishing trip. Especially considering the kids kept standing up!!

Will got a little hot outside…

 

Me and my girl!

The kiddos had fun, despite the age ranges! Avery and Will had fun playing with Luke’s baby toys…for awhile. We figured they would grow tired of them after a bit!

Yay for July birthdays and family love!!
