Playing Catch-Up Again!

Going back to June! We had a CRAZY month! My birthday is the 15th, Tyler's the 18th and Paxton's the 20th! Tyler had some friends over for his birthday, and I invited some of my friends and Paxton's little friends over for a birthday party for him. We also did a birthday party for P over that weekend since we had family around. I got to see my best friends back home! It was so fun! My sister-in-law had her baby shower earlier that day too. It was a busy weekend. THEN the weekend after that we had a family reunion.
First time at the River
First Sawdust Search
 We got to see SO much of my family. It was so good to get to spend time with my family. Since my family is so far away, we are luck to get to see them once a year. I say my grandparents, all my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, aunts, (no uncles this time), cousins...it was a blast. Tyler got to see what kind of traditions we have in our family too! There were a few people that couldn't make it that I really miss seeing such as my cousin Britnae, Uncle John and Uncle Duane. I was so glad to get to spend time with those that did make it though. Paxton got to experience the river for the first time. He was SO exhausted!

     
All tuckered out with Daddy
 Then the next week was 4th of July! This was actually P's second 4th of July! He had a lot of fun. We popped pop-its and watched the parade and went to IF for the fireworks! He was such a good boy! We got some really good pictures! He would have been awake for the fireworks, but they started an hour late because a person went missing in the river.
And then.....wait for it....I GRADUATED!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!! My mom, grandma and my mom came for support. I felt like a bit of a cheater because I earned my Associates, which I later found out meant that the guy should have given me a blue cap and gown-black represents a Bachelor's apparently! By the time I found that out, I was lined up at convocation! My family came a couple days before so we could spend some extra time together! It was so good to be able to spend some quality time with them. It never happens!
I DID IT! (We were all really tired)
