July This and That

The World Cup was super exciting! It was neat to see people coming together to cheer on different teams. Although the USA lost pretty badly to Belgium, it was fun cheering them on with friends. 








I went to help my mom after her hip replacement therapy for a couple of days while my dad was out of town. I relieved Aunt Jeri and Aunt Marsha who were helping her before I got there so it was fun to see them, and I also got to see Jason and Hudson on their way to store some stuff at Mom and Dad's since they just moved to Austin (yay!). Of course there was lots of delicious cooking, and I also spent a night at Jenna's to hang with her and watch a movie!



I got a job on the set of a short film that shot in DFW so I stayed very busy for 3 days! 



Stella got to come to dinner at Lazy Dog with us, and also had to be sedated for her annual well-visit since she is so high maintenance at the vet!




Birthday Fun

Two of my friends had birthdays on July 9th and it was so fun to celebrate them! Both of them had swim parties that Daniel and I went to, and Tracey and I also kidnapped Kimberly and took her to a hotel for the night (she thought we were just going to dinner!). Happy birthday Stephanie and Kimberly!










I had Aidan pick me and Kimberly up from Tracey's after the hotel stay, and he got to see Kaelyn for the first time in a while! 



Vegas Sibling Trip!

We went to Vegas with Amy, Cody, Lindsay, and Jason to goof off and have some grown-up time! We had a nice dinner at Capital Grille the first night and saw Kenny Chesney at the Sphere the second night which was an AMAZING experience!! We stayed at the Cosmopolitan which has great places to get a drink. We went to the secret "ski lodge" speakeasy after dinner the first night, and the Chandelier Bar after the concert! We also did all the Vegas things like walking through the Bellagio and doing some gambling! 


















Happy 250th, America!

Our 4th of July party was a little smaller than last year, but we still had tons of fun! It was great celebrating our country's "semiquincentennial" birthday together!
