July Part 1

Still working on updating my blog months behind!  :)  Our Teams of Our Lady group has a family event once a year, and this year we hosted it for July 4th.  Tucker made these awesome decorations. :)

Great Britain is sad.  :)

They brought birthday cakes for Christy and I- our birthdays are one day apart and we have often celebrated them together in our 30 year friendship!

Annie moved to a big girl bed right at her 3rd birthday.  We gave up pacifiers, sleep sacks, bottles and baby bed all in one big swoop.  

 

We rooted for England in the World Cup-

We love going to Alabama Adventure in the summer-

Went to our friend's firm's ribbon cutting-

Marc was a speaker at the Alabama State Bar Convention at the Grand Hotel.  We took the two boys and had the best time.  Marc Jr. stayed home for football and to take the ACT.  Julia wanted to stay home to ride horses and helped BB keep Annie.  

While Daddy worked, I drove the boys into Mobile for a few hours.  

We shopped at the Visitation Monestary-

We had the best time at Gulf Quest museum-

We had the best day the first day or two, and then Charlie woke up with a high fever and horrible stomach pain.  We gave him medicine, but he seemed to be getting worse so we took him to the Urgent Care.  They did some tests and said he had signs of appendicitis and we had to take him to the Women and Children's Center across the bay.  We ended up spending the entire day at the hospital.  He did not end up having appendicitis, but something that presents just like it.   It was a long, hard day.

The morning before we left he was feeling better so we swam one last time. 

We had a lot of fun with our spike ball set this summer-

Our godsons from Atlanta came to visit for a few days and we had a great time-

One day they made muffins WITHOUT a recipe.  :)

Marc made us breakfast several times this summer- he is great at waffles-
