1st Grader and Fashionista

 Both in the house this week together for only a few more days...both happy and sad about the upcoming adventures for these two loves of my life.   They continue to amaze me every day with their joy and their happiness.  Feeling blessed beyond belief today.

Special Post for "The Greats" as in Grandparents

We had a fantastic family reunion this weekend and the boys were as silly/happy/crazy/wild as they will be, after spending a mere 3 hours in the car.  It's always such a treat to have this clan together...lots of laughs and lots of great moments to capture and treasure.  

The Lazy and not so lazy days of summer

The summer is certainly flying by and the boys are packing in the fun...lots of friends and playdates, camps and VBS, road trips and swimming.  Not so much photography by mom tho...gotta work on that.

 

Turtle Pee

In the event that you haven't seen turtle pee first hand, Zak will be more than happy to give you the play by play of what it looks, feels and smells like.  Let's just say the reptile party was a HUGE hit with these brothers and their Dad.  Van is now lobbying for 7 small crocodiles and 7 turtles...the good news is that he's willing to wait till he's 12 to get them.  Lucky us...hoping that he forgets or moves on to something else by then.
These boys know fun when they see it.

The swing of summer

One week down already...I just know this summer is gonna fly by.  We are slowly getting in a groove since the boys really seem to be craving a routine for these summer days.  Guess that school structure did rub off in a good way.  Lots on the list of things to do this summer...checking off some fun already with friends and cook-outs and kickball and lots to come.

Daddy's Day

"A dad is someone who

wants to catch you before you fall

but instead picks you up,

brushes you off,

and lets you try again." 

Oh how we love him.  

Happy Father's Day!!

It must be summer...

...the Zoku pops are back and tasty as always!!  Can't wait to try some of the new recipes from Pinterest especially the ones for grown-ups only.

Happy Popsicle Days ahead.
