and there goes another month of summer

man, where did july go?  

it was a fun month with a lot of family and festivities.

i think i've been to just about every quilt shop in the county.  going in one is like going inside a candy shop for me.

 picked up these new kicks.  i love them.  they motivate me to workout.

 i need to find myself a pair of these marching band shoes, haha.

 uncle roger's float in the days of '47 parade.  so cool.

 pioneer day fireworks.

 i'm going to miss this guy.

 sundance's production of 7 brides for 7 brothers.

 and this wasn't from july, but it makes me laugh.  apparently i like to sleep in a cocoon.
