This sums up life right now...Boom Shaka Laka Toot Poop Five BALLS Gasoline!!!! Take the cuddles with the crazy, the laughs with the lying, the playing with the praying, the circus is in town and we keep saying that being CONTENT with this stage we are in is MORE THAN ENOUGH!!! Blessed beyond belief and never regretting that we didn't spend enough time with these monkeys or we didn't LOVE them enough!
Just these 3 being the 3 kids they are meant to be!
Fun Friday Night at the park with our life group...as special night where all the kids get to come too!
Another Saturday...another trip to Flower World for MORE FLOWERS!!!

Ta-dah! We realized we needed color out the office window so we can enjoy summer even when "slaving" away in the office.
June is the time for things ending and celebrations...this was the END of Year TrailLife night for Griffin and another time the whole family got to come along!
Celebrating these young men in their growth this year.

Working on our 150 miles and snagged a friend along the way.
And then it was the END...last day of LJ's first year of preschool!
This young lady has grown up so much and I'm so thankful for all the fun she had this year.
We celebrated with manicures :)
And a trip to Starbucks with the BIGS!
So proud of Millie. She turned in the most reading logs in her class and got a special light to read even more!
Then it was the LAST day for the BIGS....
These 3 are off to Preschool-4, Grade 3 and Grade 4 in the Fall. AND THIS IS WHY I will never regret putting them first! Love them, Spoil them, Teach them and Love on them some more...the summers we have with them are passing by so quickly so we will pack in all the fun!

This....I pinch myself that we are blessed to have a little slice of heaven on earth.
Straight Lounging...we didn't even hit the lake for 4 days of vacation...just chilled, read, hit the pool, walked, biked and played. Talk about low key vacay!
These kids were so excited that we actually get to use the community pool now. Woot woot! The joy of ownership.
