July in pictures

Not a perfect month, in terms of photos, but I got more than I thought I would! I will do better for August, right?


July 6, 2011 ~ Keeton mastered the diving board in four swim lessons. He's my brave one and that scares me to death!

July 11, 2011 ~ I know this will seem like an odd picture to most everyone but me, but with the day I was handed, it was the best I could do.

July 13, 2011 ~ Silly girls! Ella and Kate get such a kick out of each other, you can't help but laugh at them (or with them, I guess).

July 16, 2011 ~ And on to the boys...just as silly, just as cute!

July 18, 2011 ~ Spotted a funnel cloud, which really freaked our neighbor out. Strangely enough, I thought it was pretty neat and was glad I ran in to get the camera!

July 19, 2011 ~ Can you believe I had to chase this kid down for a single shot? And then he got all contortionist on me!

July ?, 2011 ~ Hmmm, not sure when Jeff took this one, but another picture of Keeton obsessed by trucks, cars, and all things that move (literally, the neighbors were moving their cars to another state). This would totally freak me out if my cars had been on there.

July 20, 2011 ~ Love having a hydrangea bush right outside the door. Well, when it isn't covered in Japanese Beetles, anyway. I know, they are gross. Really, really, gross. But the flowers are pretty, right?

July 21, 2011 ~ I had a closet intervention with Ella. I took away all her soccer clothes, mandating that she wears the adorable summer clothes she has, instead. Sounds mean, but by the looks of this photo, I think she went overboard in swiping my shoes, too!

July 22, 2011 ~ What a face! I guess my root beer floaties aren't as good as Papa's...I know, what? I can't cook...not like I didn't know that. Actually, you don't cook root beer floaties...whatever.

July 23, 2011 ~ Keeton cracks me up with his "worker" obsession. He spent the morning imitating the guys who were re-paving our street. He got a few high-fives, too.

July 24, 2011 ~ Yep, sometimes a boy has to just give the dog a hug, even when he's in his underoos and "just passing through".

July 25, 2011 ~ If you look very closely you will see a rainbow set against these stormy clouds.

July 26, 2011 ~ Don't you just wish you could pass out like this some days? I sure will admit that I do! Ah, to be 5 again...
