A very good month

July is one of my favorite months of the year.  The weather is always warm and there are so many fun things to celebrate. 

Our anniversary is on July 8th.  This was our 5 year anniversary.  Wow, how 5 years has flown by!  It has been a wonderful 5 years!  I loved Patrick so much the day we got married, but our love is much richer, much deeper.  I love our life together!  I feel so incredibly blessed to have him as my husband forever.  Often we comment on how blessed we feel.  Life is so good and we are so happy.  We wanted to get away for a night or two like we usually do, but leaving our babies just didn’t work out this year- and that was just fine with us!  Instead, our good  friend offered to watch the kids during the day and we went to Tucanos for lunch- yum!  It is the same restaurant where we had our wedding luncheon.  That night we headed up to Sundance for a concert at their open air amphitheater.  It was incredible! 

Patrick’s birthday is July 14 and mine is July 18. Cal and Ellie “helped” me make birthday breakfast. One of Patrick’s gifts was a slip and slide (smile). We had lots of fun and Cal was an instant fan!  Stroganoff for dinner and pineapple upside down cake for dessert.  A very relaxing and fun day all together as a family!

 

On the 18th we went up to my brother’s house for a BBQ.  Lynell and her family came down to help celebrate.  Boy do they know how to party! In their basement they have a karaoke stage that includes disco ball and a fog machine- how cool is that?  My favorite chocolate cake for dessert and we were all in heaven!

 

Being with family is always the best way to celebrate!
