enjoying the process » loving the journey, not just the destination

A month in photos.

We are having a BLAST this summer. I was determined to enjoy every minute this summer & not let it pass us by. It feels like we’ve been on summer break for a LONG time. We’ve been to the beach several times, the pool almost every day, VBS (which feels like it lasted a month- that’s a good thing), playdates, coffee dates, spa days, breakfast dates, Thursday night dates with James, LOTS AND LOTS of summer reading (I’m on my 3rd novel, 3rd non-fiction, the kids have read so many books I can’t keep up and we’re on our 4th read aloud), park nights, friends over for dinner, 4th of July party…. you name it! We are having FUN this summer. I love it.  But I have to admit, I’m REALLY excited for school to start up again. I still get giddy looking at new school books and school supplies. Okay- on with the photos. Sorry about all the blah. blah. blah.

This little girl is 7 months old if you can believe it.  She’s just now starting to eat cereal and some veggies. It took her a LONG time to figure out the spoon. But now she’s got it & she’s gettin’ a little chunky, I’m not gonna lie.  I like it.

We went to see Toy Story 3 with Papa when it first came out. Have I mentioned how obsessed Keagan is with “Ight Ear”  (Lightyear).  He FREAKS OUT anytime we see anything with Buzz or Woody or any Toy Story character for that matter. He calls Woody, “Woo-Tee”  It’s super cute.

VBS this year was a “HERO” theme. The kids had a blast.. It was my 1st year NOT helping with VBS. I kinda missed it, but it was nice to hang out with Keagan and Chloe for a few hours.

We had the 4th of July party at our house this year & we were able to skype with the Worsleys. It was bitter-sweet. We’ve always spent the major holidays with them 🙁
I miss them so much it makes me cry 🙁  So let’s move on..

Want a fun way to hang out with friends & not have to clean dishes afterward?  Grab dinner & take it to the park. The adults get to talk while the kids play- everyone is happy! No cooking or cleaning involved- win/ win.

Just because I think he’s really cute. And he’s one of the nicest boys I know.

Gavin & Christine at the beach. It was a little chilly on the 5th of July. Still fun.

James took Jaden & Cade on a mountain bike ride across the dam and down the mountain. Their faces were BRIGHT RED when they came home. This is the “before” shot- still happy, no red faces 🙂

Hallie - I love that one of Cade. When you left yesterday Pearson said, “Caedmon is so smart, and always makes good decisions.”

emily - Pearson’s pretty smart himself and SUCH a people-person. I wonder where he gets that??
