4th of July and some summer catch-up

The first picture is proof of how cold it was here the week of the fourth of July. This is from my car’s thermometer. It’s so mom doesn’t feel too bad if she doesn’t get to swim this summer…it’s been really weird weather here. I feel like I haven’t swam very much at all!!


So...me and Justin spent the fourth of July together. I wanted to set off firecrackers, but apparently Ohio has a law that you can only set off the smoke ones. So...we set off smokey firecrackers. Here's some pictures of that. Also, there's a video where Justin was trying to teach me to "cloud" it so it would look all cloudy around me in the picture. He didn't realize I was actually videoing him instead of taking a pic...it's HILARIOUS!! And yes that's me in the DayGlo Orange tank top...


The last two videos are of Sophi before I even came to Oklahoma. One is showing how she's learned to open my back screen door to get in (she can't open it to get out...she just hasn't figured that out yet). The other is of her swimming. I won't let her in the pool anymore though because it took me FOREVER to get her hair out!
