I know I say this every month, but wow July flew by! I can't believe in a week my little lady will be a year old! She is very close to walking and she talks all of the time. Her favorite words are Dada, Mama, ball, tractor, truck, buh-bye, and Grandpa. This month we have been enjoying the pool, play dates, visits from family, the 4-H fair, the zoo and lots of bike rides after dinner in Lyla's new bike seat.

 |
| We haven't forgotten about our other babies! |
After church one Sunday we went out to lunch in downtown Kirkwood. Lyla loved splashing in the fountain and watching the trains.

| Waiting for the train |
I love this video. Bless her heart, she tries so hard to get these cats to like her!
Crazy lady!
Our little dancing queen. She was dancing a lot more before we started taping her of course!
 |
| For her birthday we might just get her another box with styrofoam peanuts! It was a hit |
 |
| We organize this cabinet probably 20 times a day! |
 |
| She LOVES when I load/unload the dishwasher…let's hope this sticks with her through her teenage years!! |

| Mac & Cheese Mohawk |
Pool play date with Noah and Jude
Trip to the Monroe County 4-H Fair with the Wasson family
 |
| I don't know if she was more excited about the animals or all of the tractors around |
 |
| For some reason this picture makes me laugh every time I look at it. I love how big the cow's eyes are because of Lyla coming at him! |
 |
| Trying to push raising pigs on her (on Daddy, actually!!) |
She loved the sheep until this next guy did this in her face…needless to say we rushed out of the Sheep Barn after this picture.
 |
| Some kid let her pet his duck which she loved. |
Cookout with friends before the Olson's move to Colorado
 |
| Playing with some friends on their swing set |
 |

Trip to the Zoo
 |
| We stayed far away from the camels this time!! |
 |
| Probably her favorite part of the zoo, the misting fans |
On this bike ride there were two Clydesdales right by the fence along Grant's Trail. They came over to us and let us feed them some grass. Lyla loved it!

| Pretty girl with her purse |
 |
| My lunch date |
 |
| Our little monkey |
 |
| She loves banging coasters on the table but the sound scares her |
 |
| Love those curls |
 |
| She looks at our wedding picture every day and says, "Grandpa!" over and over again! |
