102 degrees...

Our first boating trip of the season and guaranteed it won't be our last...I love making memories.

P.S our sweet Halee has a job now, and boy oh boy did we miss her today.

Insanity...

Because running in 90 degree weather is a lot more fun when you have other crazies to run with...

90 degrees and counting...

Hello, Summer...

Those eyes...

Connors 8th grade graduation is approaching and I've been gathering photos that his school has requested for a slide show. This baby boy is so precious to my heart...those eyes could melt any girls heart, but this Mama's heart is bursting at the seams.

Paint nite...

Okay, I'm not a painter...but my friends convinced me that paint nite is easy and fun. So, I jumped in a did it. It took us 2 hours to do these and I won't lie that up close they aren't quite as pretty. But we all came to the same conclusion that our children would think they were AMAZING. And our prediction came true. My kids were so excited and wanted to hang it up, or sell it (um...couldn't get $1 out of it I'm sure) but, WOW what a great cheer team I have.

Memorial Day...

I'm so grateful for those who have and still do, fight for my freedom. I truly admire those who willingly serve our country. It's a personal service to me...and a personal service to you. There's a special place in heaven for these earthly Angels...

Family time...

We had such a wonderful time visiting my parents over Memorial Day weekend. We took the kids roller skating and it was kind of a break through moment where you realize that all your kids are old enough to do the same, fun activity. That doesn't happen very often with the varying ages of our kids.

Chris and my dad ran off to breakfast and left us all in the dust...just kidding, I'm actually super happy they had some man time. After all...they are my two most favorite men alive.

The kids all loves squishing in the hot tub built for two. Luckily Halee didn't get in on this idea. 5 was enough...

I love family time...
