Grandpa Jack turned 90 with a big bash on the USS Hornet.

| My dear college friend, Taylor, and her son, Camden, came to the bay area to visit her brother and stopped by our house! What a gift to see one another after all these years! |
 |

 |
| Kids Camp at CPC! |
 |
| I got to spend the week with the twins in the 4 year old room! |
 |
| Meeting Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar in real life! Pinch me! I was so grateful to be able to thank them for their godly example! Their television show exposed me to a Christian household and motivated me to want to learn more. |
 |
| After we told them how much we appreciated them, Jim Bob asked if he could take a video of us sharing our story to share with his children not their text chain as an encouragement to them! SERIOUSLY?!?! |
 |
| We totally held up the mile-long line and I only slightly felt bad about it. |
 |
| Ran the Wounded Warrior 10K in Folsom on my 36th birthday! |
 |
| Nick and the kids surprised me in Folsom after my birthday race! We went swimming in the hotel pool and had a yummy lunch at The Lazy Dog. We finished up the day with a big birthday dinner with the Sackys and Mom and Dad at Melo's! It was a good day! |
 |
| 4th of July parade! |
 |
| My boy picking weeds! I appreciated it even more than flowers because it was one less weed for me to pick! |

James at Sulphur Creek's nature camp with his big buddy Addie Jing. It was his first solo activity without his sisters. God paired them up (they did not know the other would be there.) Addie's loving demeanor took James' worries away and he had a wonderful time!

| This summer I learned that my vision was sub-par because Emmy dominated me in the license plate game from the backseat of the minivan. I got my eyes checked and low and behold, I have an astigmatism and need glasses. |
