We had a lot of fun in Dallas with Devon's family in the beginning of July. It was a little warm, but we went out side first thing, and then went swimming or played on the toys at the mall. We didn't do too good of a job taking pictures. We also went to Cabela's to see the huge fish and stuffed animals. Spencer got a stomach bug the first few days, but no one else caught it- and we had a great time.
Here is James after the 4th of July breakfast.
We went to the Children's Museum with Kelsey and her family and Grandma and Catherine. James loved the water.
When you stood against this wall a super bright flash would come and it would take a picture of your shadow.
We went on a few "safaris" in the morning and found interesting spiders and ants and worms. Mostly it was so nice to be with family, and I enjoyed not having to plan and cook meals for more than a week.
We also celebrated James birthday a little more. He got this ball from grandma, and would not put it down
I think he was made we were making him open more presents

When he saw things with wheels he was okay.
We let the kids play in the pool after dinner, so we had to drag James out to blow out his candles on his cake.
He did not eat cake until pool time was over, he was having too much fun!
Spencer loved playing with his cousins, and James walked right up to the toy room every time we went to Kelsey's house. We had so much fun with cousins and Grandma and Grandpa and "Cafrine" (who Spencer could not leave alone!
One other funny thing. When we finally got to Grandma's house from Albuquerque (a 10 hour drive) James was sooo excited he tried to jump all over the house. He can't quite get both feet off of the ground, but it's a cute whole body effort! The trip was worth the drive- and that is saying something.
