July 3: Our pre-July 4th party. It was an absolute perfect day with family!
July 4: I scheduled a photographer to take pictures of the entire family. Not often that we can make this happen and it's been 5+ years. The pictures turned out great despite not knowing how to pose people.
That afternoon we got the bouncy/slide house out. Everyone had fun!
That night the family was going into town for the fireworks. I stayed home with Livie as she was sleeping. Strangest thing happened. She woke up around 9:30 and would not fall back asleep for anything! So I loaded her up in the car and meet the family for fireworks. After we got home, Livie fussed a little but went right to sleep. Little Miss did not want to miss out on anything!!
July 6: I had picked the kids up from daycare and Sadie was sitting in between them. Out of nowhere he said "Sadie needs a friend". I asked what kind of friend and he replied "a doggie friend".
July 10: Mom and Dad were in town so we took them to BalloonFest. It was very neat to see!
July 18: We had the Easter Seals volleyball tournament. It was quite a warm day and we sucked! But we had fun playing!
July 19: We went to Colby Cheese Days with my parents. Tavin had an absolute blast! Livie was quite vocal that she didn't get to go on the rides with Tavin.
July 20: Tavin woke up pretty sick so Shaun stayed home with him. I got a call from daycare around 4 that Livie spiked a fever (over 100) so I had to pick her up.
July 21: Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch them so Shaun and I could go to work.
July 22: Livie still wasn't feeling great so I stayed home with her. Tavin went to daycare, Shaun started to get sick.
July 23: Both kids back at daycare, both Shaun and I got sick!
July 25: I asked Tavin how he feels about Penny going to a different house to live. He got really upset and said "NO! Penny stay with us". We had Griffin's baptism. He's so adorable, but man he really likes to scream/cry!
July 26: We went to the Medford Fair for a couple hours. Tavin did a few rides (again) and one game. He did well most of the afternoon. He fell asleep on the way home (as did Livie) and woke up crabby. We ate a quick supper and took the dogs for a short walk. It was rather hot out and on the way back to the house a complete meltdown ensued because he wanted it to snow and be winter time. He even asked where his boots were! It was so hard not to laugh.
July 27: We all went to volleyball tonight. Shaun watched the kids in the play area while I played. When I was putting Livie to bed she refused to nurse :(
July 28: Day 1 of nursing strike. Livie did not want to nurse in the morning and again at night.
July 30: As I was getting ready for work, I heard the doorbell ring. I come out of the bathroom and see a short little shadow outside of our front door. I immediately knew it was Tavin and what happened. He had climbed up a chair in his room and out the window. His reason why he did it "me had to get acorns". Tavin went to the dentist for his first real visit! He did great. A little scared/shy but they were able to get a little cleaning in. He was so good the hygienist let him pick from the "big basket" of toys!
July 31: Tavin AGAIN climbed through his window. This time I told him he couldn't do it anymore because if someone saw him do it, they would call the police and take mommy and daddy to the naughty house (aka jail).
