What a Week!

It's hard to believe that it's already July .. and almost mid July at that.  This past week seemed to fly by.  Here's a recap:

Sunday -  My mom, brother, sister-in-law, niece, 4 dogs, and I piled in the van to head to my Grandma's house. Baby Bryn was making her first visit to Grandma B's. 

Here's a few pictures from the car ride.

 What a great visit! Quite a few other family members came over to visit and eat some wonderful food. We all know Grandma is a great cook! Unfortunately, the only pictures I captured were of my cousins .. 

Another fun thing to do at Grandma's ... go through old pictures. I just love looking through her picture books over and over.  I found this beauty!

Sunday evening brought the fireworks that were rained out on Saturday.  Ended up being my only fireworks to see this year.

Great Job Maroa!

 Monday - My brother and sister-in-law came over to spend the day with Mom and I. Extra time with Brynzlee is always a plus. I hadn't seen her in a month and couldn't believe how much she's grown. She was extra smiley and I enjoyed every moment! 

Tuesday - My Mom and I did a little shopping in Springfield, and that evening my nephews had their last ball games. My Mom and I went to watch them play, and I didn't get any pictures!  Here's some of them earlier in the season though ..

Love watching my boys play sports!

My oldest nephew decided he wanted to stay the night with us Tuesday night. He hadn't stayed over here in quite some time.

So Wednesday, I hung out with Dylan most of the day. It's so much fun to have some one on one time with the boys. Wednesday night brought my brother, sister-in-law, baby B, my sister and her fiance here for the night.  Talk about a house full.  We stayed up late waiting on my sis to get home... So good to see her! 

Thursday was the 4th!  What a fun day! I was so lucky for Laury, Doug, and Chelsea to head over and celebrate with my family!  It's so much fun to get everyone together! 
Here's a few pictures .. 

How Patriotic!

Family Fun!

Too bad I didn't capture all of the family that was here.  Next time, I'll do a much better job!  My entire immediate family (plus some) were able to spend some quality time together.  There's nothing better than family!  I say that over and over, but it rings so true! Unfortunately, Amy and Ty had to head back home Thursday night because of Ty's job ... boo! 

Friday brought another hang out day with N, K, and Baby B!  This called for more photo opps! 

The many faces of Bryn from the week ..

I'm not proud of her at all ... can you tell?

Saturday - We celebrated Dylan's birthday.  Can't believe this baby boy is about to turn 12! It just seems like yesterday we were all so very excited for his arrival! 

 

Getting in their snuggles before going home

After the party, everyone left .. and it was back to an empty house.  This called for some relaxation and a nap!  What a fun week spending time with family... but it sure was exhausting! 

P had to try out the swing with baby B left ...

Here's to enjoying the next 5 weeks of summer .... it sure is flying by!!
