Well, July didn't start off so well for mama!! I was at work and started to not feel well. I ended up having a kidney stone and having to have surgery to have it removed by our good friend, Kris Whitehead! That was not quite how I had planned to start my July or to even get a date night with Chet, but it happened and I'm so thankful all went well with the surgery. I'm so thankful for the Brands who jumped in and kept the kids while I had surgery. They had a blast as always and didn't miss us one bit!

This crazy cat just makes himself at home anywhere in this house!
We spent July 4 with Aunt Jessica and Uncle Mark at Grandpa's house in Corinth. The kids enjoyed a water slide, the choo choo train ride, playing golf and frisbee in the back yard, and just running around and burning off the energy!
My birthday is on July 8, and the kids couldn't wait for me to get home from work to give my present. They didn't even wait on Chet to come home from work! They were so excited to get me some airpods to wear while I exercise. I was even more excited than they were! They then treated me to dinner of my choice and I chose Pizza vs Tacos, and the food was amazing! We were so excited to be eating out since we haven't been going to many restaurants due to Covid. It was an amazing birthday, and I'm looking forward to an amazing 43rd year!
My sweet friends gathered together to treat me to dinner at Park Heights! Chris, Katie, Jodie, Liz, Catherine, Hollie, and Me. It's always fun to get to hang out with my friends!
We had Kat's follow up with Dr Fagan and she was so excited to get to see him. She gets so teased and shy when she gets around him, but she loves to talk about him. He's been so great with her and this toe! It's healing well, praise God. We didn't do too well following the "don't get it wet rule". We had the hardest time keeping it dry and trying to figure out how to swim while keeping it dry. It didn't work! Ha ha!!
We spent actual July 4th with the Shafers. We swam, ate good, and ended the night with fireworks at Fairpark!
Poor Kat, swimming just wears her out. We had a little outdoor gathering with our closest friends (Beavers, Brands, and Kahlstorfs) at honey's pool. It was really the first time we had all been together in so long! We swam and ordered mexican. It was good for my soul!
The kids are always wanting a dog...so instead of getting one, we borrowed the Shafers dog and took him for a walk. They enjoyed it and Coop even loved it, too. I told them we could just "borrow" friends dogs and help care for them instead of getting one of our own! They weren't too crazy about that idea! LOL!
