July 29, Anything Can Be A Chair


"What? You didn't put this here for me to sit on?"

July 28, Two Against One

Brad played goalie as Alex and Dominic (one of Brad's college roomates) took turns taking shots at the baby pool. Modified soccer? During Dominic's visit, Alex kept calling him "Dominicks", like our grocery store. It was hilarious!

July 27, A Little Wii

Now that some our afternoons are super hot, Alex dug out the Wii balance board to play a little Wii Fit.

July 25, Speaker Phone Fun


Trying to catch up with Grandma Kathy and Aunt Jackie on speakerphone at bathtime.

July 24, Closet Buckeye Fan

We had a cookout Saturday night with the neighbors and want everyone to know that Josh is a closet Buckeye fan! His parents however are staunch Illinois fans. Wonder what they think about him wrapping himself up in all this Buckeye goodness?

July 22, Wild Wild Hair


Her hair just has a mind of its own, especially in the morning. I would say her hair matches her personality :)

Cassie is rarely seen during the day. Here she is keeping my shoes warm.

July 19, Counting And Sorting


Alex and I have been doing little activities each day to try and keep his mind ready for Kindergarten. Here he is sorting and counting M&Ms into this muffin tin. Then he wrote the name of the color and how many he counted inside his handy-dandy notebook :) This took us 2 days to complete as I bought a bag of M&Ms that was WAY too big!

July 18, Brad's Weekend Project

Over the weekend, Brad surrounded the tree on the front lawn with pavers, similar to the ones in front of the house. We were tired of all the mulch constantly sliding down the hill and hope this helps!

July 17, Really? ALL The Bath Toys In The Pool?

Because you never can have too many toys in the baby pool.

July 8, Branching Out


Alex finally branched out at the library and chose a few non-fiction books other than trains, planes, and automobiles! This week he's moved on to droughts, earthquakes, and rocks.

We are eagerly awaiting our trip to New Buffalo, MI in August. Here's Abby trying on her new beach gear! It fits and she's ready to go!

July 5, Sit Still

We spent way too long trying to get a photo of the kids in their coordinating outfits today. As you can see, the "cheese" face continues.

July 4, Fun In The Suburbs

Watching the neighbors set off their own displays. We were outside for hours. I don't remember doing this in TX but here we sit in our driveways on the 3rd and 4th and everywhere you look there are fireworks!

July 3, Gearing Up For Fireworks

Very festive, thanks Nicci!

July 2, I Turn My Back For A Minute

They DID both fit in this box. I think that was what they were trying to find out here.
