Our Aug as we ended Summer

After our mini vacation with my family and my Scentsy Convention, it was back home to enjoy some time with daddy!! I hate when I am out of town and we don't get to spend lots of time together. He is the GREATEST!!!!

No real importance of this picture, but just that I love it! My sweet sweet girls!!! They are my world!!!

Is it really a storm? Are we about to get some rain? ...

With the storm near us (it missed us), there was Thunder and lightening and Lil K did not want to hear it! So just look what her awesome big sister did!
Lil E had her sister dressed up in her fairy princess and then when the thunder was bother Lil K, E put her ear phones on to Lil K and held them and her sister so that she wouldn' t be scared by the Thunder!

I couldn't go to Scentsy and pass up these shirts for the girls! Being as Lil E always wants a Scentsy shirt, I knew it was a must! They are my Scentsy Girls! They love everything about Scentsy! And love to help me sort and label shipments.

Aren't they the cutest lil Mommy's Scentsy Girls around? I sure think so!

And how could we let summer end without more fun at as a family in the front yard!

There's nothing more fun that playing in the sprinkler! It always makes me smile and still takes me back to my childhood.

Oh my, someone had been playing so hard, she had to relax for a bit! But don't be fooled, it wasn't too long of a rest, she was up and running again!

And Lil K found a blow flower, as she calls it!

One weekend, we spent painting on the hood of Daddy's race car! How awesome it was for the girls!!!

It wasn't just the girls who painted, both mommy and daddy painted a lil too. So here's our painted hood! It's so so so special to me!

Just as a little proof of how much racing is a part of all of us, check out Lil E as she is busy racing herself! In her super cool mustang! And btw, she is drawn to mustangs more than any car out there! We have even tried to trick her to see if she would know a mustang in other years and she hasn't been wrong yet.

And Lil K has to have some time to do her favorite thing, play in the mud! I flooded more than just the yard when I left our sprinkler on, and it made her day! As she had a lot of mud to play in.

This is one of my most favorite pictures of her in the mud. I just love it!

It was the night before Lil E was to start school, and we are making some last minute summer memories!

Our world will change as Lil E starts school and summer is over as we know it!! But I am so looking forward to fall! As it's starts my most favorite time of the year!

I hope everyone had a great Aug, and is looking forward to an awesome fall full of blessings!

Hugs and Blessings,

Early June

It was the 1st weekend of June! (about all we were home). We arrived home late June 4th, to leave out the middle of the next week. Didn't make it home a week even. But that is ok! Here's how we spent those few days! And I'm so thankful we did take the time to enjoy some down time as a family!!!


Saturday we got ready and ran to town, had lunch and then came back home!


We came home to have an afternoon of fun outside! It's our backyard oasis!

We spent our entire afternoon out! And grilled burgers for dinner! It was just the best!!!!

We were back to having fun outside on Sunday afternoon too!

Look who was swimming with the girls???

Little Bitty Bit!

And we have gone from sliding on the slide to jumping off! And Lil E even asked if she could jump from the trampoline! NO WAY, little missy!

We even had some bubblel time fun!!! Who doesn't love bubbles?? I know it's a favorite for all of us!!!

Finally, the snow cone place in town opened up! And Guess who had to go and try it out!!! THey were yummy!!! I have to say, they even put a bit to much syrup on them! But they were yummy!

Then it was time for some more summer fun!!!

We had so much fun playing out!!! Wish we had gone ahead and did the big pool in early spring! Now the one we wanted, it sold out everywhere, so we settled on the little tiny thing for now. (guess since we spent so much time away, it was ok though.)

After our summer starting off with some fun at home, it was time to head out in a panic rush to see my sister, who know had been rushed into emergency surgery!

Hugs and Blessings,

Summer Kick Off

We did our Summer Kick Off today! We started our morning off with some craft time! This is a picture of the flower pot that Lil E did! As you can see we painted flower pots today! They girls loved it!!!



Then we met our friend at the park for a short trip! It was just to hot, and with the old medal toys, it wasn't that fun! They were too hot for the girls to get any enjoyment out of them! And it was so humid! We finally sat under a shade tree and enjoyed a snack and a short visit, before coming back home to our Oasis Resort! After returning home, we enjoyed our super special camp out tent that Lil E built! She did this last night so we could have a special day today!!!! She is so ready to go camping! :) Can you tell?



They were loving it!!!! And we had a picnic too! Then are you ready for this? We went swimming! (at our pretend beach!) Oh man after a very long swim, for nearly an hour, it was time to relax on the beach! Lil E swam her way to the wall and leaned up against it! Her words "Ahh, i'm relaxing at the beach and drinking hot coco!" I had to laugh! I said are you really wanting hot coco at the beach, she says she does because it's the BEST! So after that, we all had to enjoy the hot coco and relax!


After all that fun, we headed outside for some real water play! It was so hot and humid today! It has been lately and it's just yuck! I can do the dry heat, but I sure don't like this humidity we are having! YUCKO!

What would be playing in the water, if we didn't play in mud puddles too? It's just so much more fun to see the dirty mud on us, right? Well the girls sure think so! And this momma sure doesn't mind!

We even headed back out for round 2 in the water, after Daddy made it home! It was such a fun day!!!! It really was a wonderful time!

Yes yes, my lil K is busy going potty outside! I can't even begin to get her to use a toilet inside, and yet she just sits on this block and says I potty momma! are you kidding me? LOL, but I had to laugh! I told hubby, this makes us look really really redneck!!! But then again, it is time for us to head out tomorrow or our annual Hillbilly Family Reunion! So maybe she is just practicing at being a Hillbilly!

It really is the little things that matter the most! Just think about the memories we made today, but being silly and having lots of imaginative play time! :) So take the time to enjoy the kiddos, they grow up way to fast on us!

Hugs and Blessings,

Looking Back

Where did time go? I can't believe how fast summer flew by. I mean really, where did it go? It seems like yesterday it was just starting. And our late summer heat wave, sure didn't make it seem like it was starting to end. The kids in town have started back to school, and summer is on the way out. Lil E will be starting Pre K after the Labor Day, just a couple of days a week. And that is totally fine with Mommy. We really had a lot of fun this summer!

As I sat here looking back, I thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures from the summer.

Some fun from around our home...

Our 4th of July.

Lil K's first pony ride......

I really can't believe how fast life is flying bad, and how much the girls are growing up. Just over the summer, I can see how much they have grown! The things they do. How they play. It's just trully life's sweetest moments! I'm blessed beyond!
