Friday Night Lights!

Since Dan follows every sports person possible relevant to OSU, we had the chance to enjoy Friday Night Lights football 'camp' at the Horseshoe.  We parked in the 3rd spot from the gate, could choose any seat and basically felt like we had the stadium to ourselves - this will never happen again :)

Scouting the recruits and enjoying some nachos!

 Matt, Keegan, Charlie & Dan enjoying the football preview.

4th of July!

This 4th of July was scorcher! It was filled with fireworks, swimming, food and family. We 'watched' fireworks in Mount Vernon at my sister's friend house.  Charlie & Keegan spent the fireworks show in the truck watching a movie.  Charlie only wanted to 'see' the fireworks NOT hear them.  We wrapped up the 4th with lots of swimming!

My sweet boys!

 Charlie being a cutie.

 Charlie future girlfriend, Journey.  She is so sweet & loves entertaining the boys at the baseball games.

 The kiddos & Dan looking thrilled to be there.

 Awaiting the fireworks...

 Keegan being very brave & careful.

 Whoa!  Keegan loved the slide & we could barely get him out of the water!

 Charlie enjoying the waterfall & mastered jumping into the pool!

The Great Blackout of 2012

A huge thunderstorm ripped through Ohio last Friday with winds up to 85 mph.  The news is indicating that that is faster than hurricane winds & there was over 300,000 people without power in central Ohio alone.

The storm hit about 4:45 pm and we immediately lost power.  I lasted about an hour & was texting friends & family to see if anyone had power & AC.  By the way it has been in the 90's with heat index into the hundreds for over 10 days!  Chaos!  Luckily my uncles Bob & Herb had power in Hilliard.  We drove over & the great sleepover 2012 began.

Around 11 pm my sister's & family showed up as well! Luckily we got power back a couple days later but it took 5 days for my mom & sister power to come back on - just in time for a 4th of July swim!

Charlie & Keegan could not stop giggling becasue they got to sleep on the floor.
