July in a Nutshell

This is at one of Ethan's machine pitch games. Look at all that swag in his mitt, one great reason to play ball!

Ashlyn, Nannie, and Brielle. Whenever I tell them we are going to Gma Jeans, first thing out of their mouth is "NANNIE! There are perks to having lots of little brothers and sisters to love, they in turn love your little squandrels!

They are so stinking funny. I was doing dishes and hear all this laughing going on. Ashlyn has Brielle pinned on the stairs, they were talking all about it and having a great ol' time. So glad the camera was handy!

Miss Lydia giving Ashlyn a lawnmower ride. What are they called? I forgot. Anywho, notice Brielle in the background, standing on her potty, reaching for the freezer.

Awe. My BFF, Natalie. We went out with Natalie and Joemaka to WingNutz. So nice, we need to do that more often!

Showing off their beautiful artwork, you can't see Ruby Q's because she is looking at hers!
Saucy loves to do anything that Lydia is doing... they love their older sib's.

Brielle Belle is a total animal lover. She gets it from her Grandpa Todd who will adopt any animal from anywhere!

7 peaks, so glad we used our "Pass of all passes" 3 times! Vincent turned the big 1-0! Crazy. Love that kid, and so does Ethan.

At Dawnie and Rikard's wedding. Ethan had some sweet moves on the dance floor. Go Ethan!

Speaking of the fellar. I came down to give him a kiss and to my surprise, he had his own little fort set up in the living room. Pretty sweet huh? I did move him, he could've injured himself!

I love the baseball stance! Red Sox RULE!

During the summer I tried to do a "long" run every Saturday. This particular day I went for a loop-de-loop and then met the fam at the baseball field. Good times.

My favorite July picture. Dad and his little spunky fireworks on the 4th of July at Granny and Gpa Eyre's. The tradition will live on! Love and miss you Gpa.
