It has been unseasonably cool for the first week in July in the Memphis area, and WE HAVE LOVED IT! We have enjoyed spending some time outside and not being miserable and the nights have been, wait for it...COOL! I took Aylin to her first drive-in movie and we were actually cuddled up under blankets! She wanted us to wear matching pajamas, but unfortunately I do not have cute pajamas with characters and animals so we both wore black pj pants and "pinkish" shirts - lol! It was a late night! We did the kid's double feature and didn't get home until around 2:30AM, but it was worth it. We had a lot of fun with our "boy cousins" (that is what she calls the Rister boys) and their family and the Huffs :)
Daddy had his last softball game. We love going to watch the daddies play ball! Aylin just enjoys playing with all her friends and then (on Tuesdays) going to eat at McCallisters with everyone because kids eat free - lol! Our guys did well this season and we are so proud of them ;) We love #24!
Our friends, the Ferrells, found this slide on sale and set it up for a play date! Hilton slept through the whole thing but Aylin had a blast! She told her daddy that she no longer wants a pool, she wants one of these!
Aylin is still loving story time at the Knowledge Tree on Tuesdays. They read Red, White, and BOOM! this week in honor of Independence Day and made these cool placemats :) Here she is eating a 4th of July cupcake on top of her placemat.
We spent the 4th with our Church family like we do every year since working with Southaven :) This was Hilton's first experience with fireworks and he wasn't scared at all!
Our CHAOS group did our first service project! The kids made muffins and cards and passed them out to the widows and widowers Wednesday night after Bible class.
Here are some random shots of Hilton. We introduced feeding ourselves with silverware this week, he is crawling more and more on his feet, and when he wants to go outside he bangs on the backdoor :)
Aylin and Hilton took their first bath together! Hilton loves being able to splash his sister and myself with all the extra water now that he is out of the ducky tub :)
The young girls training class delivered their latest lessons and memory verses in front of all the women. I love that Aylin is getting to do this and am so proud of her. Next time they are going to work on leading the women in a song, she is very excited about this and has picked out Blue Skies and Rainbows.
