And July....I wrote about Caleb and Levi's birthdays celebrated with family already. July is a busy and fun month!
Before church one day, Levi wanted his picture taken with Ellie.
Caleb and Levi reading. One of their favorite activities (at this time they couldn't actually read, but love to look through books).
And a second tooth lost for each boy! Anyone know who is who???
I just like this picture of Ellie. She doesn't want any food anywhere near her mouth, but she will eat hairs, strings, and grass. Silly girl.
Ian racing at the family reunion. I wasn't daring enough to take Ellie on a 12+ hour drive to a reunion with 50 other people, but John was brave enough to take three boys to it by himself! They had a great time, they love being with cousins and grandparents.
Caleb watching the stream at the reunion.

Ellie and I had fun while they were gone, we painted the laundry area and the living room. And looked out the window. And the biggest news, Ellie started walking!! I was in the kitchen and she was in the living room walking between the couches when all of a sudden she was walking into the kitchen with a big grin on her face. That was it, she realized she could do it and walk anywhere she wanted and she hasn't stopped yet. One plus of her walking? She can wear dresses now! She kept getting stuck when she tried to crawl in a dress. Ellie is 21 months old, 18 months past her due date.
Ellie loves to swing. It's nice we have a park near our house since we don't have any good trees to hang a swing in anymore.
Ellie likes to sleep with the blanket over her head. I don't really like her sleeping like that, I take it off when she is asleep but she often pulls it right back over her head.
A lady in our ward organized a fun run one day. It was about a mile long on a bike/walking trail near our house. Ian ran the whole way, I think he made it in just under 10 minutes. Caleb and Levi ran and walked and did a great job, they both made it to the finish line! They were all faster than Ellie and I so I didn't have to walk the whole way :).

I love Ellie's room. Too cute. The kids are growing up so fast! I hope winter passes quickly for you so summer can come again.
My mom says the blanket over the head is a preemie thing, she was a preemie and likes to have blankets around her face too. Miss A is that way too and I try to keep her uncovered only to find her covered again. hehe.
Woohoo on the walking!!! Miss A started to take steps at 18mos, but wasnt walking until a few months later too. I always find it funny when they finally realize they can do it and never stop.
Levi is on the right and Caleb on the left in that pic with their teeth. It was fun to read updates. Natalie likes to sleep with the blanket over her head too.
