...and Jack was finished with the picture taking!
July has been a fun-filled month of friends, walks, and shopping! We started the month by celebrating the Fourth with some great friends! We had a little shindig at our house, which is something we love to do! We had lots of friends over and SIX babies under the age of ONE. Actually EIGHT if you count the two that were still in Erica's belly at that point! :) Unfortunately those were the days of it raining 40 days and 40 nights, so we had a monsoon the moment Jason was cooking. The rain finally stopped and we were able to hang out again for awhile, but of course when we were all set to go watch fireworks, we had another downpour! Oh well! Fun times were had by all despite the weather! Already planning next year's party! That will definitely be fun with all the kiddos!
The boys with Nolan- Allison and Bryan Lee's little man! I wanted to get all the kids together at once, but that just didn't happen, so I had to do a little copying and pasting from friends' Facebook accounts!
The boys' girlfriends- Olivia and Elise-(daughters of Jen and Kevin Horn)
Ashley with Kenley (Jennifer and Kevin's daughter) and Erin with Nolan
Allison and Nolan & Jennifer and Kenley 
Kenley and Nolan's romance was flourishing on the 4th :)
The "big" kids having some real grub! What's crazy is at this time last year all these babies were still in our bellies!! :)
Torrential Downpour! :( Yes, boys that's your daddy walking in it. He sacrificed for the food!
Lots of yummy food! Next year you'll be able to eat this food, boys!
The boys are continuing to move all over the place! William is really cruising and Jack is still able to get where he wants to go by rolling or scooting. We are in the process of "babyproofing!"
Jack stuck under the chair!
Will stuck! We retired the swings this month too! The boys prefer to sleep on their bellies now, so they kept trying to flip over in their swings. I decided this was kind of dangerous, so up they went. It's nice to have the space back in the living room! However, they've quickly been replaced with bouncy seats!
Hello, mommy! 
Jack needed to check under the bed to see if there was anything fun to play with! 
We have done a lot of shopping this summer- mostly Target, Goodwill, and consignment shops! Lots of fun! Will was sitting in the cart like a big boy here!
The boys all dressed up ready to shop- complete with shoes!
We think it's a lot of fun to find random hats and put them on the boys! Here are few recent finds:
Jack in Cookie monster (I think!)
Will in a monkey hat!
Will in Angry Birds!
Eating the Angry Bird!
An owl hat- lol.
Lunch in Birkdale. The boys do a great job hanging out while we eat now! Something we weren't sure would ever happen!
Enjoying the grocery store!
Chilling while Nana and I have lunch. They love propping their feet up. They have a rough life!
We met up with the boys' girlfriends, Elise and Olivia, for a walk and lunch in Birkdale. They enjoyed the time together!
Had to wake up to see what was going on!!
Sweet girls!!
We celebrated another graduation this month! The boys completed their treatment at Cranial Technologies. They now have beautiful heads for the ladies :)
They loved these cars!
Driving like a trucker!
Man, this is fun!
Driving on graduation day!
We spend a lot of time just chilling at the house and playing with toys.
Jack had a butterfly stuck to his head!
Reading Dr. Suess together!
Playing!
Jack playing while Izzy supervises.
Jack sitting up and playing!
William was SUPPOSED to be napping at Nana's, but was playing instead!
We like to give the boys baths and then play before their bedtime bottle. It is definitely one of our favorite times as a family!
Will listening to daddy tell a story.
Jack fell asleep playing before bed this night.
Silly boys ready to eat! I can finally feed them at the same time now, which helps SO much with time! They are also going about 5-6 hours between feedings now! Such a change from the old days of 2.5-3!
I went to go put Will in his crib for his nap and came back to Jack sleeping. Poor baby!
Tie Wednesdays:
Papa had a guest appearance for Tie Wednesday this month with his stick-on camo tie! :)

Our group increased by two more this month! Our friends Patrick and Erica welcomed their twins, Riley and Landon, into the world. We were so excited to meet them!
The boys played with Auntie Katie and Uncle Erik at the Bleffers.
Jason and Riley.
We went for ice cream on National Ice Cream day! The boys had a bite each and Izzy even got her own bowl complete with a dog bone (that's the green thing!) We usually go for nightly walks and have a great time.
I don't normally like shirts that say things, but I couldn't pass these up!
I only have a couple more weeks with the boys before returning to school. I'm really sad about this :( They are so fun at this age and change daily. My job as a teacher is ideal for being a mom though, so I still get my evenings, weekends, and summer with them. It will be tough to go back, but I'll enjoy my new students!
Looking forward to our adventures in August!
