I know....I know! A whole month has gone by now without an update. It has been an extraordinarily busy time for all of us & I have found myself with very little 'extra' time, but I do apologize. I do this page as much for my enjoyment as for all of yours & I've missed it! Let's see.....where to begin?

MYA, NATALIE, EMMALYN & AUDREY

I think they are all absolutely beautiful, but then again I'm a tad bit bias! All together they were here for a week & a half so we had lots of chances to visit & play.

Audrey & Emmalyn came over to our house to play one day. All 3 are wild & crazy!
Daddy came home from work & proclaimed he couldn't handle more than 1 girl at a time on a regular basis.

Most days we all met up at Grandpa & Grandpa Miller's where there is lots of room to run & tons of toys to play with.

We had the girls' picture taken at Target. While we waited the girls made full use of the toy department.

One of our favorite days was an all girls day at the park. We walked the nature trails, saw a baby deer, played at the playground, & went for yummy ice cream to end the day.

MYA'S 2ND COUSIN IS BORN!!

Another huge event for us this month was another addition to our rapidly growing family. Mommy's cousin Jennifer gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! Cooper James Montgomery was born July 13th at 3:52 pm. He was 7 lbs 1 oz & 20 in long. Mommy & baby both did wonderfully & are now enjoying being home with Daddy & big brother.

We took Natalie along for a visit to the hospital.

RYAN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

Mike (Ryan's Dad) & Daddy look on as Evan pretends to push Ryan around on his new quad. Mya was more interested in the swimming pool.

Evan & Mya played house (a glimpse of the future??). Actually, they mainly took turns shutting the door & keeping each other in or out, but it was still very cute!

....and some miscellaneous cute shots!

Mya has been really been enjoying her sandbox this summer. This was a picture from the first day. Now there is almost more sand around the outside than in!

Ryan has a sandbox that has a neat little table & umbrella attached.
Mya thought it was much more fun to stand on the table than sit at it.

We spent the 4th of July this year at Grandpa & Grandma Miller's with tons of family. We didn't got to public fireworks, but Daddy & Uncle Quinn let off some really cool ones down by the pond while we made smores around a bonfire. It was a very fun day!!

We had our first sleep-over with Natalie while her Daddy & Mommy were moving into their
new place. Her she was caught taking a catnap on our couch.

Daddy & Mya had a blast watering the lawn....or was it watering Mya???

Grandma & Grandpa Robinson got Mya a new ride. She's been having a good time making
it rock as hard as her little self can make it go.

One of Mya's newest pasttimes is playing with the rocks at the park. On this particular day that
was the first thing she wanted to do & it took some serious coaxing to get her to move on to the
playground & swings.

Mya still loves her ducks. She has learned how to throw food out to feed them.
Here she is sharing her french fries.

COUSINS MEET!
MYA, NATALIE, EMMALYN & AUDREY
The biggest event during the past month was a vist from Mya's Aunt Jeanie, Emmalyn, & Audrey. We had not had a chance to see them since last October when Audrey was born so everyone has definitely grown a lot! And, of course, this was the very first visit for them with Natalie. We decided it would be nice to try to have a picture taken with all 4 of them together. As you all know, Mya is NOT cooperative when it comes to pictures so she was by far the biggest handful, but in the end I think we got a pretty cute shot. Considering the oldest one is only 3 they all did a fantastic job. We also got some individual shots. Mya's turned out horrible so we did not purchase those, but now we have cousin pictures for our memory book.

Ryan, another of Mya's friends, turned 2 & had a birthday party for all the little ones. Ryan has all kinds of cool outside toys & Mya put them all to good use.
