Happy 4th of July!

On the 4th of July, we went to visit my friend from high school, Stacy. Maggie was very comfortable with Stacy and her mom. We played in the house, played catch with her dog Isis, ate yummy steaks, blew bubbles, and watched the fireworks.

Here is a picture of Maggie trying to whistle at the bird, Nique. She's really getting good at whistling (which she started doing on her own a few weeks ago).

Aunt Natalie and the girls

Aunt Natalie loves her nieces, but they didn't really
participate with her in the picture. I'm sure the
pictures will get cuter and cuter every year!

I-phone wait

Since daddy is a technology junkie, he had to get the new I-Phone 4. He pre-ordered it and we went to pick it up on the day it came out at about 4 pm. We thought that would be fine and the lines would be down. They were much shorter, the wait was only 2 hours!!! Maggie fell asleep in the car and I sat there and read a book until she woke up.

Splash!!

After Father's Day, we went to stay with Aunt Dani. We took the kids to a splash park. They loved playing in the water. Maggie was mostly interested in crawling around, so she scratched her knees up quite a bit, but she didn't seem to care. I tried to take pictures, but my camera died!! Here's what I could get:

Father's day

Maggie gave Chris a grill for father's day! He has been so happy, he's been cooking out at least once every week!

On Father's day, we went to breakfast with Grandpa and Grandma Steinmetz, Uncle Erik, and Emily to Peaches and Pears. We gave Grandpa Steinmetz a bike for father's day. Hopefully we can all go for a bike ride soon!

After breakfast, we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Miller's house for a cookout. Everyone was there except for Uncle Jerriah and Aunt Brandy. The kids played in the yard and we gave Grandpa Miller a hammock. Hopefully he has a nice time using it!

Aunt Natalie comes to visit

Maggie's Aunt Natalie came to visit for almost 2 weeks in June! All of her nieces and nephews were super excited to see her (and so were here sisters). We took our 2nd trip to the zoo when she was here. It was another hot day! We visited the seals, the monkeys, apes & gorillas, and the elephants!

Walk to remember Matthew

Maggie participated in the 3rd annual walk for her brother Matthew. This was her 2nd year participating and she enjoyed it much more! She's not really a morning person, but because she loves walks so much, she was happy to be out and about. We had more than 80 people participate in some way this year! It's a wonderful feeling to know that so many people are still supporting us.
