where did july go?

where to start......alexis turned 4!! on her actual birthday we went to chuck e cheese and she played lots of games and earned lots of tickets. then she had her gymnastics party a couple days later and that was lots of fun. all her friends were there and she got lots of good presents. she loved her tinkerbell cake but taylor put her fingers in it.


stephen has still been busy with work while me and the girls are still running around being crazy. last weekend we went to stephens family reunion at lake almanor which was nice cuz it was only 84 degrees there. i got to snuggle with my new nephew..... joaquin..... and the girls got to swim in the lake and we all ate lots of yummy food all day. august is just around the corner so that means school will be starting soon. alexis has a meet-n-greet day august 14th and then august 18th is her first official day of school....YIKES!!! she is super excited about that. i bought alexis her first pair of shoes for school, a pair of black mary janes (cuz they cant wear open toe shoes), and she keeps telling everyone about them. it seems like the months keep flying by and i dont know where they are going. but one thing i do know........i am so over the heat and im ready for it to be over, but i feel like summer has just begun!!
