July recap

July was a good month for our family. On July 1st Paige turned 20 and we all celebrated by going to Gringo's for her birthday. Ryan got out of the hospital then so he got to join us - Thank God for healing Ryan. Chris opened his new shop and is doing great at it! Its a really nice automotive service place. Justin, Deacon and I celebrated Justin's birthday with lunch at Fish Place, dinner at Five Guys on Lake Conroe and then we went and fed the fish from the pier. It was really nice to be with my guys and just relax. On the way home we stopped by Kroger to get a cake mix and Deacon and I made Justin a funfetti cake.

We also got the pleasure of attending Dustin & Kerri's baby shower at their ranch in Richmond/Rosenburg. That was a lot of fun and Deacon loved having all the space outside to play T-ball and ride his bike. He also loved playing washers with the big guys.

Justin and I found out our baby's gender in July as well. We booked a sneak peak ultrasound for 16 weeks and went that morning, along with Deacon, to get a peek of our daughter. Yep - It's a Girl! That evening we had a birthday party planned for Justin and no one knew but we planned to reveal the baby's gender at some point during the party. It was really fun hanging out with everyone and knowing this secret that no one knew that we had. When it came time to open his gifts Justin pulled out a blue onesie that we told everyone would reveal the baby's gender. As soon as they said it they started to say "Yay, a boy!" and then he flipped it around to show them what the front said "Daddy's Girl". Everyone burst into cheers (and tears) and were so happy with our news. It was great to be able to surprise everyone.

To wrap up our July we celebrated Mark's 41st birthday at Pappadeaux with the whole family.

Like I said - great month!
