July

 July included a lot of basketball for Rooke: practices and tournaments.  At this particular tournament, Rooke got to play against one of his friend's teams (who is shooting the free throw).  Fun for the guys!  And Rooke's team won =)

Rooke and his good friend, Max, met early on Friday mornings with their dads for Bible study.  I think the guys were most happy to chillax on the couch during the study - ha!

Rooke and Max also went to a basketball camp together . . . too cool.

Rooke won the free throw contest for his age group!

Meanwhile, Gretchen and Lois participated in a musical theater camp.  They were part of 

"The Greatest Showman" performance at the end of the week!

Some tasty garden harvest happenings

Bridgette found out her dear friend's mom was pregnant and wanted to make a blanket for the new baby.  She did it!!  She diligently worked and crocheted the blanket for her friend's baby brother.

Summer blueberries!

Happy Fourth of July

The girls and I joined friends for A Capitol Fourth dress rehearsal on the third - less crowds =)

7-11 . . . Free slurpee day!

Fun guys

Bridgette and Ruth's annual lemonade stand

All three kids practiced with the swim team this summer, but Bridgette is the only one who participated in the swim meets.

Bridgette joined Ryan for a trip to Tulsa to see family and friends.  Bridgette's highlight was the cousin sleepover =)

One of Ryan's highlights is always Braum's milkshakes - ha!

Ryan's the best at finding special treats!
