July, it's the month after June...

Here I am again...trying to catch up on blogs - I've made it to July, it's a miracle! Never mind that Brady turned 1 over two weeks ago...I will get there eventually!

July started off with a visit to Iowa...Brady and I stayed with Grandma and Grandpa for a week, and the whole family (minus Jason, boohoo!) went to my cousin's wedding in Iowa City. We spent two nights in a hotel and had a great time!

When we got back to Ohio, my brother Jeff, sis-in-law Erin, and their little boy stayed with us for a few days. It was so much fun! We played endless games of Settlers of Catan, stayed up way too late, and the boys had a blast playing together. (FYI, Jeff and Erin prefer pics of my nephew not to be on the internet, so that is why you never see pics of him...but take my word for it, he is CUTE!) :)

We had a birthday party for Brady one month early so that his cousins could come to the party! It was great...he devoured his cupcake in about 30 seconds.

See that lit candle? Yeah, he tried to grab it.

Addie just loves Brady...and she loves being the oldest...she is such a helper with the little kids!Swimming with Addie and Reese

These two shared Grandma's lap quite a bit!

Brady loved this vintage horsie...

He spent many hours sitting in the stroller on the patio just playing!

Gracie and Brady sharing...so cute.

Brady loved dancing! He started bopping around and shaking his little booty as soon as the music started.Jeff and Erin at the wedding...

Nathan and Shannon...

I think we had the most kids crammed into one table...five kids, seven adults, and two strollers.

Grandma and Grandpa took us out to dinner at a nice restaurant on the river.

Everybody loved the hotel pool! Especially these two little fishies!

We also took a trip to the Omaha Zoo

What is everyone looking at?

THIS!

HA HA HA HA...how appropriate!

This reminds me of someone...oh yeah, ME!

When we got back to Ohio, we celebrated my 31st birthday with a overnight trip to Cleveland. We went to the Cleveland Zoo and spent some time downtown.Brady playing in the hotel...looking mighty handsome in his grown up shirt!My boys all tuckered out.And then we were back home...home sweet home!
This is my first crop of tomatoes...We have so many at this point that I don't know what to do with them all? What else can you do with cherry tomatoes besides put them in salads? I am not a tomato person, so this is new to me!This is Brady's daily ritual...consequently, my nightly ritual involves putting them all back up on the shelf!Brady playing under the table during a game of Settlers with Jim and Lee...he played under there for about a 1/2 hour...too cute!Brady loves to wear his sunglasses! He wore them the entire time we were in Target - and received several compliments.

And that rounds out the month of July...coming up next, Brady's birthday!

He's walking!!!

We started with this:

And eventually graduated to this:

More posts to come...I owe you people like a million blogs!!

Hide and Seek!

You remember June, right?

It's the month before July. During June the blogger in the Hubbie house apparently forgot about the blog.

Brady met his friend Caleb in June...
They both pretty much hated riding in the wagon together. But a pacifier can mend a whining heart, at least for these two! (Go to Steph's blog to see a funny video of the whiny buddies!)

Lunch at Chick-fil-A was a great way to end this visit!

Brady got a kiddie pool and won't ever look at the camera when he is in water.

Those three streaks you see are the three Hubbies breaking in the swing set at the park. Is anyone surprised that two of these three swings are now broken? Seriously. I think we broke them.

Brady got cuter and cuter and cuter in the month of June...

Grandpa and Grandma came to visit and now you can all see where I get my immaturity. Here they are at the zoo...Brady is pretending he doesn't know them. That penguin in the middle is probably related to us too...

We celebrated Father's Day with these two special dads...

Somebody LOVES it when Grandma and Grandpa come to stay!

Brady tried out a new "look"...he gets his fashion sense from his Dad.

The true highlight of Brady's month was when we found six pacifiers wedged between the crib frame and the mattress...he tried them all out and picked his favorite.

As if this wasn't enough excitement, Brady and I took off to Iowa for a week to visit Grandma and Grandpa on their turf.

But that happened mostly in July and this blog is about June. So I'll blog about that in September.

Just kidding...but can I have a few days??

Until next time...hugs and kisses from the Hubbies.

Hey Dad, whatcha eating? Wanna share?

Seriously, can I have some? Puh-lease?

I guess I'll have my own snack...but someday I want to try yours!

Where do blogs go to die?

Just wondering.

This one is looking kind of dead.
