July Snapshots

School supply shopping in style 


Our girls could seriously be in the bedhead hall of fame!


Juliet was all smiles when she woke up from her nap because her big sisters crawled right into her crib with her.


A journal entry Abby wrote about her trip to Florida


There were a million post vacation/pre birthday party things that needed to get done (like unpacking suitcases or doing those dishes), but then Abby asked me to sit with her and read my book while she read hers. I'm so thankful for these sweet moments.


The look of an excited birthday girl who just got a special birthday surprise in the mail from Grammy and G-Diddy: a whole box of French Macarons!!


Summer afternoons at the library...


Juliet learned how to return the library books.



We jumped on the slime wagon and made our own!

Juliet invited over her neighborhood friends over for a pool party.






She kept crawling up on the bench with me and asking me to pray. 😍

Abby posed with Alvin before her doctor's appointment.


Everything is perfect when you get to eat a blue popsicle before 8 am.

Juliet's favorite summer activity was letting herself (and Oliver) out the screen door all by herself and hanging out on the deck.

Abby and Ella had another great year at VBS!

June Snapshots


It's always a good time when Mr. David comes to visit. The only thing missing was Ms. Anne! Joe and I even enjoyed a date night while the girls played chalk and introduced Mr. David to High School Musical.


Abby had her end of year field day and Joe volunteered!


Abby and Christine were twins.




Juliet is feeling "SO BIG" in her new front facing car seat.


It's a total blessing to have a husband who knows what you need more than you do sometimes. That was the case on my birthday this year. Joe knew I needed to celebrate more than I did. With the trials and adjustments I had been facing in the weeks leading up to my birthday, I was in the mood to let this one slide under the radar, which isn't really like me. But Joe gathered some of our good friends and Cory came up for dinner.  I'm still amazed at how everyone rallied like that last minute to make my birthday extra special. I rounded out 31 with some very tangible reminders of just how precious life really is and we celebrated!








Morning walks with Mommy and Ms. Megan


Afternoon chalk and smoothies






First swim and popsicles of the season with friends





Abby had her end of the year Pioneer Girl award ceremony.





After the girls learned that I was the spider in the fifth grade play of Little Miss Muffet, they recreated their own version. 😎

Summer nights were filled with falling asleep in Mom and Dad's bed while reading Magic School Bus chapter books and memorizing facts about U.S. Presidents. I love this sweet sight.




Father's Day celebrations started with a good morning ambush in bed! The girls were so excited to give their daddy his gigantic Father's Day card.



Breakfast parfaits and a good book


An afternoon in the sprinkler  


We finished the night with some good burgers (Joe's favorite kind of dinner) to celebrate the best dad our houseful of girls could ask for!


These girls LOVE their daddy!
