The LaRoe Family: July 2009

I LOVE July! It's one of my favorite months. I love beach trips, bbq's, fireworks...all the fun Summer stuff. This July has been so busy! It started out with us selling our house. Yep...we're moving! We bought a house just around the corner from our townhouse and we are so excited! I have LONGED for a backyard for my kids for soooo long and now we have one! And a great one too. Our new house is small, but we fell in love with the yard and the fact that it is still in our neighborhood so we don't have to give up all the fun stuff that our kids love about our community. The bummer is that we don't move in until Aug. 20th and we leave our townhouse July 29th. So we will be staying with Grandma and Grandpa G. for a bit. =) The kids are so excited to stay at Grandma's house. It will be an adventure for sure. =)

Next was Alice's wedding! It was such a fun day and a beautiful wedding! We all had so much fun just having the family together and watching the kids have fun and DANCE! The kids LOVED DANCING! It was so cute to watch. Conner was the dancing king, I think he gets the award for most energy spent on the dance floor. Once he started, he never stopped. It was a great day. Congrats Alice and Nick!

We spent the 4th having a BBQ and swimming at Aunty and Uncle's house (Alex and Margaret). Then back to our mall for fireworks with Grandma and Grandpa G. It has been our tradition since the kids were born to watch fireworks at the mall. Preston and Ella loved the show. Aaden wasn't sure if he liked it or not...he liked it one moment and then was scared the next. Overall, it was a great evening of fireworks.

The following week we left for our annual Pismo beach camping trip. I love camping at the beach! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! Uncle Trent taught Preston how to boogie board and he was awesome at it! He did better than any of the other kids...I think he's a natural. =) Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa for letting us use your camper. We had so much fun!!
