Our Month of July

Here is a spattering of pictures from here and there and everywhere all throughout July.
Elias was pretty excited about these cookies.
This unruly gang was out to get me.
Lick!
Asher helped me make no bake cookies.  We substituted almond butter and they were awesome.
Cutie face.
Albert standing on Daddy's shoulders.
I love his intensity.  You'd think he'd be reading something equally intense.
Helping mod podge.  Painting with glue...can life get better? He'll submit that it canNOT!
Smiley face.
We spent an afternoon with some of the best people!!
Nick and Brittany (and Albany) were in town!!!
We hadn't seen them in a couple of years and hadn't even met Miss Albany yet.  It was an awesome day of fun hanging out (we even went to the zoo).  Best day ever!!
Tyler calls this, "90s grunge band photo."
The boys chat about their popsicles.
The kids and I went to Nebraska to visit my parents for a few days while Tyler was busy with teaching his Greek intensive.  They were enjoying some books together.
The kids were definitely planning on spending the entire trip playing in the inflatable pool in Grandma & Grandpa's backyard.  Unfortunately, it was really chilly all week.  Finally, Asher couldn't stand it any longer and went in anyway.
Ahhhh!!
Smores!
Diving in.
After he got over the horror of the marshmallow stickiness, Albert really enjoyed it.
It may have only been in the mid 70s but the kids went swimming anyway.
Ironically, Elias was the one that got too cold to enjoy the pool.
Albert had a wardrobe malfunction.
Those swim trunk would just not stay up!  Apparently the elastic finally died.  We have since gotten him a new pair.
Running along Lake Michigan.
My Mom visited us too (twice actually).  She actually flew in to help me drive out to Nebraska and back. Thanks Mom!
Balancing on Daddy's back.
Sand is fun.
Family photo.
