July 16-22

On July 16th Ana Grace came over in the morning and played outside with the boys while I worked on getting things ready for the lake...


That night Lilly came over to play and eat dinner and Dave took all three of them to the park to feed the turtles...

Lilly teaching the boys how to do a back bend...

... and giving Horsey Rides :)

 When we got back from the lake on Friday the boys had fun playing on the cooler.  I LOVE this picture because of the look on both boys faces :)

Saturday I went to Kroger and they had an employee dressed up as a chicken (complete with a chicken shopping cart) selling rotisserie chickens.

There was also this SWEET car in the parking lot. #awesome

Strawberry pies. FAVORITE!

Saturday night Dave and Haha took Luke to play a few holes of golf after dinner and Dave texted me this picture. When did he get so big???

Sunday morning girls pic!

Griffin looks at herself in my phone camera now - so cute!!!

Griffin helping me eat my pasta salad :)


LOVING me Pinterest Told Me To denim jacket :)

I HATE mopping and so Dave did it for me.  He's the BEST!

Sunday night our small group met at the pool.  :) 

Griffin hung out with the girls while the kids swam :)

Monday Luke started VBS at Christ Fellowship and Mason had to do the stairs when they dropped Luke off.   Stairs are super exciting when you have a one-story house :)

Luke found this Santa hat in our dress up box and then picked out his own clothes to match.  Christmas in July, anyone???

VBS is "medieval themed" :)

Why was Griffin so bright-eyed on Monday??? Because SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!  YAY!!!  She took a bottle around 8:00 p.m., then we fed her in her sleep around 11:00 and then she slept all the way until 7 a.m.!!!

Monogrammed pacis. Yes, please.

Speaking of monograms, I had a BUNCH of stuff monogrammed and it all got dropped off on Monday afternoon.  OBSESSED with these sweet little dresses for Spring.

I also had each of the kids initials embroidered onto these little envelopes that hang on the backs of our kitchen chairs.  I know I want to write them little love notes in February leading up to Valentines Day and I'm working on ideas of how to incorporate it into our Christmas traditions.

Monday night we met Dave's parents, grandmas and one of his brothers for dinner at Olive Garden.  These green Stella and Dot earrings are STILL my faves :)

Uncle Stephen drives a motorcycle and the boys got a kick out of trying on his helmet...

Luke was SOOOOOOOOOO impressed with the "cheese sprinkler" that the waiter used to put cheese on everyones meals.  He told me that all he wanted for Christmas was a cheese sprinkler and that if Santa brought him one he'd be THIS (insert crazy face picture) excited. :)  Cheese is his love language.

July 11-15

It was a double time out kind of morning...

Sweet girl wants to stand all. the. time.

:)

Despite the heat, Mason insisted on being SpiderMan while he worked on his puzzles...

Griffin is completely bottle fed, and although I miss nursing there's sweet moments with bottle feeding as well.

Tummy time with her Hohos :)

We're ready to cheer on our MCA Mustangs this fall with a sweet new blue and gold headband :)

When it's STUPID HOT outside, we resort to fort building...

HAPPY MAIL!!!



The best part of going back to school??? A FRESH calendar :)

I found Mason watching Caillou like this...

My BIG helper...

omigosh.

I'm telling you.  Standing. All. The. Time.


Family room picnic.

These are the best cupcakes EVER!



This was July of 2010.  Luke was two and we spent EVERY day at the pool together.  It was so much fun and this picture just conjures up all sorts of sweet memories of spending time with him.

Griffin had a case of the Mondays (on a Saturday)...

A bottle made everything better.

After swimming lessons on Saturday, Luke came home, went to get a bowl out of one of our bottom cabinets and next thing I knew he was laying on the floor clutching his head.  I thought he was being dramatic, but when he took his hand away from his face blood was EVERYWHERE!

Sunday morning Griffin wore a sweet new outfit.  LOVE!!




It was unseasonably cool (like 30 degrees cooler than normal)...

... and so we declared Sunday "stay in our pjs day".


Monday morning started with some snuggles (and graham crackers) in our bed...


While the boys ran errands, Griffin and I played dress up. I CAN NOT wait for Fall!

Griffin helped me bake in the afternoon...


and that night Haha and Dave took Mason and Luke to see Despicable Me 2.  It was Masons first movie and he did GREAT (despite talking LOUDLY throughout the movie... "What's that, Daddy???")
