July in Review

This was one of my favorite pictures I took in July. Drew was playing with the bubble machine that Grandpa C. bought the boys while he was here. He was watching that bubble intently.
My pictures got all messed up in order. Some times blogger can be frustrating. But Jeff's mom, dad, sister Becca and Charise came for a visit during 4th of July. We had a great time! Did I mention we had NO idea that Jeff's cousin and her family live here...it was CRAZY! We have hung out with them quite a bit...I should have known that Jeff has family everywhere (I think he has about 250 first cousins).

Jack playing with the bubble machine.
I like this picture too. I turned the camera at a different angle and I like the way it turned out.


Back to the 4th... We thought we were getting a nice variety of fireworks but they were ALL smoke bombs :(
Jeff was the official firework liter.
Drew watched very carefully.
Jack loved the sparklesr!!!
We spent the morning in Columbus and met Jeff's family at COSI (we love that place). They were having some neat experiments outside and Jack got inside this big bubble.

Pictures of me are very rare, so even though you can't really see me, I have to show that I do participate and don't {always} stand behind the camera :) I climbed down into this submarine and helped Jack into it. It was really cool!
I also made my first pies this fourth of July and if you like Key Lime, you'll love this one!

This picture is proof that Jeff and I should NOT take those self portraits by holding the camera out as far as you can reach and snapping a picture ;) But we had fun time on this little path close to our house.
It was pretty hot and I was glad I packed some water for a drink when we found this bench.


Doesn't he look good pushing a stroller?
