10 Things to Smile About!

I can't believe it's already the last day of July. Every year the swiftness that is summer surprises me, I swear.

Say that really fast 10 times!

Emmy hosts this party and every once in a while (uh...like once, probably? i'm lame.) I will remember or get the burst of energy to participate. How lame am I? Don't answer that.


Anyway, July was FILLED to the brim with surprises and fun!


Family time! If you know my husband you know he hates his picture being online anywhere. So. Nice family shot, huh? Even got the dogs in there. Sorta.


Time to get some small projects done that I've been meaning to do forever.

New nephews!!

Baby 1

 Baby 2

Baby 3
All three early. All three very healthy. All 3 home. And, yes, I'm totally counting each one as a separate thing to smile about. 

Screaming around the go kart track and whoopin' daddy's butt!


The boys getting to be in a commercial with the moose.
Big Boy was way happy right there. Can ya tell?


Time with grandma from Las Vegas. After having played a round of miniature golf with my kids I can say that I am smiling BIG at not having done this round. Gah!


 Marking things off our Summer Fun list! Movie/Jammie day and making cookies.


 Basketball!!


What's on your list??

Great job working on the summer list...I didn't even make a list this summer, but I think we've done a lot of fun things...not enough to keep the kids from fighting though!

What fun summer adventures! My husband hates that his picture is online now too. For years I covered up both our faces, but then finally got over it. I like the smiley heart. :-)

Such sweet new faces. So glad to hear they all are home and healthy. That is such a huge blessing.

Sarah Kate said...

i LOVE that last basketball shot!!! Awesome!!! I loved the family pic, too, except for the one party pooper that won't let his face be shown on the internet...

I'm so glad all the babies are healthy and home! What a month!

Steph said...

Your nephews are so adorable. All of them.

And your boys look like they are enjoying what's left of the summer.

Oh those babies!!! Too sweet. And I love your family photo ;) I can't get Jeremy to get in many photos. He doesn't like me to post them either.

You've been having a busy summer! Those are the best kinds.

Now I want to make cookies.

McVal said...

The babies are so adorable! There are times I'm jealous of the time you get to spend with your boys this summer and then other times I'm glad I'm back to work this week... Ever try to walk a tightrope with emotions? It sucks...
Is your hubs in witness protection? The picture thing might get him kicked out... I know some guys in Albuquerque...

Mrs. Petrie said...

Hi Friend, will you send me your laundry soap recipe? :)

Heathers Happenings said...

Awww the babies!!! Making me want more. All that made me happy :)

Impulsive Addict said...

I think my baby has been wanting me to play miniature golf because it has consumed my thoughts lately. However, it's 168 degrees outside so it will have to wait until fall....
