Life Lately: Summer Fun


Happy Tuesday Ya'll!
This summer I have been soaking in all the time with my sweet babies! I just cannot believe my baby girl will be going to Kindergarten in a few short weeks! It is super hot down where we live so we have been enjoying our time hanging out at home and making all of the messes but I thought I would share a little life lately of all the fun time we have been having!
The best thing I have done this summer is to just be present with my kids, and just enjoy the time I have with them, especially because last summer I worked so much that I never saw my sweet kids except for picking them up from one babysitter to give them to the next one. It was rough so this summer I made some changes and working on being present! Time flies, and babies don't keep, so soak up all the time you can with them!


Today we are catching up on the past couple weeks with life lately!

We are working on sitting up with this almost five month old! He will be five months old tomorrow, and I just can't believe how fast time is flying with this sweet boy! 

The thunderstorms have been pretty epic lately, and I hate thunderstorms. 
Seeing the sunset on one side of the house and a full blown thunder and lightening storm on the other was pretty cool 

we broke out the fire pit and made Smore's and the kids were so excited

We went on a nature hike with Mimi and grandpa while they were in town visiting

and i just absolutely love where we live

This boy loves being outside :) 


we can go right down the road and see marsh and rivers 

and then we can go 30 minutes down the road and we are at the beach!
All this boy wanted to do was go to the beach

so on hubby's day off we took the boys to the beach 

while big sister was in Raleigh with my my sister 

We found wall art while walking around the mall one day and the kiddos wanted to get pictures :) 

They are too short, but it was still really cute

Skyler's first fourth of July! Oh how I love these three

The neighbors set off fireworks well until midnight 

and they were beautiful, but loud, so the older two kiddos watched a movie and Skyler slept in his swing while they were happening since he couldn't stay asleep with all the noise. 

We held chickens while at a Fireworks BBQ

and I was surprised Riley held one. He loves to look at animals, but always is too shy to get in and hold them, so he surprised me this day.

My oldest and youngest! <3

Nothing beats ice cream 

outside while the sun is going down!
Summer time is fun, especially when ice cream is involved. 

So there we go, the last couple of weeks have been full of fun and relaxing days! We have enjoyed nature, ice cream, and just spending time together as a family! 
I have a fun day in the life post from last week that will be going up this week so stay tuned for that!
Have a great day! 
Thanks for stopping by!

Memorial Day catch up!

Happy Tuesday!  We survived Pre-K!  Char graduated last Thursday and her last day on Friday! She had such a fun year and learned so much and is very sad to be going to a different school next year, but she is also so excited as well! I just cannot believe I have a Kindergartener! Time flies when they are growing up! We had a super busy weekend with my sister coming into town to visit, so I'm catching up on laundry, and cleaning and getting into a summer routine with the kiddos! We are so excited for adventures this summer!  I will be back tomorrow with a weekend recap, but for now here is some photos from Char's graduation at her Pre-K! Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday! I wont lie, today is a lot like my dish towel says: We had all the plans to go exploring and do something productive this weekend, but I only managed to clean the entire kitchen on Friday afternoon while the babies were napping! Here is a a bit of our weekend:  Friday morning started out with two monkeys jumping on the bed bright and early!  I love how they wake up so happy in the morning Riley got his 15 month shots on Thursday so I was fully expecting a grump and a half and got a very happy smiley baby boy instead!  We practiced blowing kisses We snuggled and we ran around with our backpack of toys Mommy did not unpack from the doctor's visit.  Saturday we spent lots of time snuggling on the couch, napping, and watching cartoons and just relaxing before hitting up the grocery store for a big trip. We got home late enough it was a sandwich for dinner kind of night.  Sunday we had plans to go out and ab...

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that! ...
