July's Ten on the Tenth

Hello July...

loving the slow pace of summer and sleeping in a little bit. Zoey always comes downstairs after she wakes up and snuggles up a little bit...

This morning while the kids played I continued on my cleaning/organizing mission. It is very slow going with kids around to entertain, but I don't mind when things are out of place for a while.

Max is still recovering from being pretty sick over the weekend. Here he is sporting the tye-died shirt Zoey and I made him the other day, bed head and all...poor guy, still has the sick look about him.

Because of Max not feeling 100%, Zoey has had to lay low a little. She is bored. We've tried to craft a little to keep her entertained. She is making a purse out of magazine paper here.

And we are slowing checking things off our "Summer Fun List"...

Today we headed to Sonic Happy Hour for slushes!

And since our Sonic is right by the base, we dropped an Iced Tea off for Ross!

Image 7

I had to run into Jo-Ann's on the way home. Max spotted some puppy fabric and had to give it a hug!

Image 8

We had to run to a soccer meeting for Zoey, which I forgot to take a picture of (it was boring anyway) and then we hit Red Robin for dinner...

Ten on the Tenth for June

Well, I did take my ten pictures on the tenth for June, but never posted them, so here they are... We were in the middle of a vacation, the 10th landed us in Denver, after taking three days to drive out.

Ross trying to sleep more even though the kids were up and still on Ohio time... Zoey is saying, "Dad, are you up? Are you up, dad?"

Watching a little movie...

And some time spent in Barnes and Noble. Max finds a book right away and just sits where ever he is!

One of our mandatory stops while in Denver, REI. We actually tortured our kids on this trip... while in California, we went to any REI we were near, since we don't have them in Ohio. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Image 4

Ross was helping his parents for a bit, so I went out behind their new house with the kids to walk along a bike path. Just a snap of Zoey...
Image 5

We also saw these huge dandelion-looking things!!

Image 6

And then I tried for some portrait shots, I like this one...
Image 7

And I will post more later.

One of the reasons we road tripped out to Denver, was to haul back a bunch of stuff (both his old stuff and some new-to him stuff). Here he is with Zoey, checking out a bunch of old tools...

And the day got better when I was driving down the road and discovered one of my favorites!

Preparing for Max's 8th! birthday the following day!

Ole! Cinco de Mayo

We had our annual (its two years in a row, so that makes it annual, right?) Cinco de Mayo Fiesta again this year! Always fun... Here is everyone...

And some people look like they could be on an old western wanted poster... these were so funny too!

Love Language

Ross was writing sweet things on the chalk board the other evening. They were cute things, like "you are the icing on my cupcake, you are the peanut butter to my jelly..." You get the idea. And it was very sweet. And then I saw this part added...


IMG_6549

Apparently we all have our love language... and this gun reference, definitely not mine. The macaroni and cheese at least speaks to my inner foodie...

more flowers...

The Art Show

The kids' school always has an Art Show near the end of the year. I used to not like that the kids art didn't come home right away because I loved to hear them talk about the projects they were working on and then hated to not see them for months! But to see the whole school decorated with kids art is definitely cool. And the kids are so proud to show it off that way with their names attached.

Zoey was in a mood, so she only got one picture taken...

IMG_6446

She did the kaleidoscope looking thing behind her to the left. I wish I had gotten a picture of her self portrait, because I loved that one.

Max and his pinch pot.

Here he is with his winter tree. He said he put both snow on the tree and "realistic snowflakes!"

IMG_6451

Here he is with his water lilies (like monet)
IMG_6452

For a craft hater, he was proud of his art, and I was glad for that!
