Ten Things to Smile About This Month: July

Another month has come and gone and it is the last Tuesday of the month so time for 10 Things to Smile About! (#10Things)  From the simple, the funny, amazing or adorable, whatever it may be that made you smile in July.  I started this meme over 3 years ago now I think, after a really hard month where I just needed to look back and find the good.

The link will be open for two weeks, so lots of time to write your post, copy the code under the button to add to your post and join in!

    Love it! Such fun things. Jet skis are fun until you flip them 3 times in a row :)

    Your photos are always so gorgeous!

    I'm impressed with the cousin pic. I was trying to get just 6 to line up the other day and it did NOT happen.

    Thank you! This shot was one of about 20 I took and my SIL was standing above me pretending to lick my head to get the kids to laugh. Thank you for linking up

    Yikes! I am always so slow and cautious when I turn- give a straight path and I floor it, but yea my turns are wide as so afraid I will flip it

    Who put pink lipstick on your baby nephew?! :o) I love the picture of all the kids lined up! Poor Lex doesn't have any cousins yet. Cory is an only child and my sister hasn't had any yet. Lex will probably have kids of her own before she gets a cousin!

    I would love to get a picture of all the cousins together and get it printed for my parents. But with us living in 3 states it's almost impossible.

    Yes, we get together once a year so we always make sure to get a picture of the kids together-- or many as I play paparazzi throughout the week together.

    Lol I thought the same thing after seeing the picture; it is just the instagram filter that made it that way

    She is sitting on the hub of the wheel- but he is kind of holding her on there.

    It had been a while since I had had it too just because it is expensive and we haven't gone in a while.
