July has been beautiful!

July has been wonderful, above is the 4th of July, we watched Rockets over Rhema and the kids were sooo tired, but it was still fun.
Doug had a concert at a church in town, so we went, Bailey was so excited and could barely wait for Doug to stop playing before she said hi. Above, she's clowning around with Aunt Danae and below is Doug playing. It was a great concert, I was really impressed at how talented my bro-in-law is!
I kept telling Bailey to talk quietly, then I laughed too loud and she told me to "shhhh!". It was precious!
Caden and I, showing off our matching eyes!
As soon as Doug as done, Bailey ran up screaming "Hi, Uncle Gugg!" So, here's a pic of Doug and his biggest fan.
A few weeks later we had a family pool party to celebrate Thomas and Kate's engagement. Thomas is Jason's cousin. It was great, and Chuck really had fun hanging out with his grandson.
This is Kate. She's tall. Bailey and Lauren showed just how long her legs are!
Bailey was showing off her new shoes!
She was so precious, we swam, ate yummy food and hung out with the fam.
Last week I reconnected with a friend from high school who also has a 2 year old named Bailey! We went over to play and make cupcakes, it was so cute!
First we made bracelets, Bailey is still wearing hers today!
Bailey and Bailey taking a break waiting for the cupcakes to bake.
Caden was so funny, he didn't really play with the Baileys but he had tons of fun just exploring all the new toys!
Time for frosting!
Caden wanted in on the fun, don't worry, he got a cupcake or two!
Dig in cuties!
Chuck and Dana's 30th Anniversary is this December 27th. It's always hard to celebrate an anniversary 2 days after Christmas, so we decided to celebrate early with a patio makeover while they were out of town.

I watched two kids this weekend, Archer and Annabelle Anderson. Annabelle is Caden's age and Archer is Bailey's age. It was perfect! Here Caden and Annabelle enjoy dinner!
Archer and Bailey watching Cars, their favorite movie!
The four kids enjoying popcorn and a movie! They actually sat this way for quite awhile!
So, July has been a great month full of fun, family and surprises. It's been beautiful. Hope August is just as fun!
