| Best of Friends! |

| 7 months - moving and exploring everything, so glad Grandpa Stoner locked up those cabinets |
 |
| Everett moved out of the high chair and over to the kitchen table. Our family meals are more complete with a full table! |

| Caught! |

| During the month of July we had a special visitor spend a few weeks with us. Blessings works for LIVE LOVE MALAWI and was one of the amazing people that Greg and Jackson met last summer on their mission trip to Africa. Blessings was in the states this summer and we were fortunate to have him spend some time with us. |
Family Stay-cation 2013 - Wildhorse Pass
This was our first vacation with all three kids! It was fun, busy and quick! Jackson had the opportunity to attend a Lego day with some friends while Greg and I hit the pool with our little ones.
These two pictures of Everett and Ellie are my favorite! Sibling love!! Whenever she is close by, Everett reaches out to find her hand and holds it ever so sweetly.
A highlight for sure this weekend was the big water slide...Everett's smile says it all and the fact that Greg was able to carry him up the 2 flights of steps shows how well he's recovered from surgery.

| The boys...having their morning milk in the hotel lobby while Mommy and Daddy share some coffee. |
 |
| The Early birds...both awoke each other on vacation by 5am. So while daddy and Jackson slept we went for a nature walk around the hotel grounds. The next morning Daddy took them for a walk while Mommy and Jackson spent some 1 on 1 time together. |
Our FIVE year old! It was one of those things we'd talked about for a long time, but never really thought it would sneak up so quickly. Everett turned 5 this summer and boy does he know it! We love his personality and are so proud of all the things he can do - he surprises us daily.
For his birthday he got a new tricycle, some awesome new sneakers and some really cool outfits. He is such a joy and beautiful addition to our family!
In July, Everett was able to attend the Foundation for Blind Children's summer day camp. He had the opportunity to spend two weeks with friends while Jackson and I got some "date time" together.
 |
| Every morning Jackson insisted on taking Everett into camp by himself. Love how he takes care of his brother! |
But before we knew it, the two weeks were over and it was time to start a new chapter. Everett was ready to begin Kindergarten. So we tearfully said good-bye to our FBC family, but promised we'd never really leave.
Finally, one more photo our our little crawler. She loves checking out new things.
