July brought us a lot of travels, but we also had quite a bit of fun at home!
We got back from Dallas on July 4, and I took Cade to our local fireworks for the first time. We went with Garrett and his family and it was much more relaxed and fun than I thought! We parked on campus, sat in the back of the truck, and had a great view. The boys were super excited to stay up late together!
The next day, we got to see Baby Bryce get baptized at church, and Annie wore her "fancy dress and fancy shoes".
That night, my good friend Rebecca from college visited us with her family. We don't get together nearly often enough, but I'm super thankful that when we do, it is just as easy as walking to each other's apartments back in college and chatting about the events of the day. Our kids played well together, the husbands talked football, and Bec and I went through a whole new wardrobe that she brought for Annie.

The next morning, we met up for a campus tour, where Bec and I tried to impress the kids with tales of "what used to be here... where we used to go to classes" etc, but they mostly just wanted to run around.
Our first stop was the new 12th Man statue, which stands almost exactly where the entrance to the Read Building (where all of the health and kinesiology classes were) used to be. I miss our old building, but this new statue is pretty cool!
We also visited the MSC and the Sul Ross statue
And finally, the Big Aggie Ring! These real smiles were brought to you by the fact that I promised the kids Canes for lunch if they smiled on the first try!
We had a great visit with the Stuart family and are so thankful they went out of their way from San Antonio to Dallas to come through Aggieland!
