July has been a little bit of a crazy month for us! Since the last time I sat down to blog, we've had some fun! First off, Josie is teething like crazy. Another tooth broke through sometime Friday night or Saturday, bringing her total up to 9. Also, she LOVES finger foods. Her favorites so far are Ravioli and mashed potatoes, both of which usually end with a bath.
We were luck enough to spend the last 5 days with my older brother David. He flew out from Hawaii for a wedding, and it was too expensive to go home and fly back out for Kelley's wedding, so he is having a long vacation. :) We played lots of games and just had fun! On the 24th, Kelley came up and we bbq'd and lit some fireworks. Josie wasn't too sure about those.
Early Sunday morning, we found out that Justin's cousin was having his mission homecoming that day, so we hurried and packed everything up and went down to catch the meeting. He did a great job and the party at Aunt Yvonne's house after was excellent, as always. :)
Sunday dinner was the July birthday dinner, so we got to celebrate! Mimi made mashed potatoes just for Josie. I made a cake for everyone and a little one for Josie. Here are some pictures of the party: The cakes- I decorated the big one and Justin and Dave did Josie's.
Hanging out with Tim and Kim
Singing happy birthday.. she wasn't sure about that fire stuff. :)
Digging in! She wasn't bashful AT ALL. The entire little cake was crumbs when she was done with it. She thought it was pretty tasty.
After cake and ice cream, the babies pretty much needed a bath, so we let them play in the sink for a little bit. Tucker and Josie are going to get into a lot of trouble running around together.. we can already tell.
Josie is a walking fiend! She walks more places than she crawls these days. She's still a little scared of walking around outside, but inside, she does great!
Opening presents--Thanks everyone for the new toys!
The family all sitting around watching. The kids helped Josie enjoy her new toys. :)
Silly Uncle Dave.. we miss you already and can't wait to see you in California in a couple of weeks!

Josie is getting so big! It has been sooo long since we have seen ya'll. :( Looks like the birthday party was lots of fun. Someday when we are back in Utah Josie and Delaney will celebrate their birthdays together! YEAH! Miss you guys! XOXO
She is so cute, Alissa! I can't wait to meet her next month.
BTW, your cake looks great. It seems like everyone knows how to make these great fondant cakes except me. And I even took cake decorating classes for four months!
I love those pictures of Josie with potato all over her....she looks so sweet! The cakes look yummy and turned out so pretty!
Holy crow, you're a Martha Stewart. That cake looks awsome.
What a cute cake, great job! I just love her huge smile, makes me smile :D
