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!

Show and Tell Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and doing Show and Tell Tuesday!  Today it is all about how to win your heart!  In the four years I have known Scott he has always known how to make my heart go pitter patter! Whether he is sitting with our children and playing and laughing with them, or on a pizza date where we both look awful because it is so spur of the moment because the kids went to Mimi's for the first time in a couple months we rush out so fast without showers, he knows how to speak to my heart!  Scott and I will be married three years this coming June and in those three years we have been married he goes above and beyond with speaking to my heart! Whether it is a random coffee or energy drink that he brings me while I'm chasing the kiddos, or just telling me to go to the bookstore and read a few magazines, I got the kids for a couple hours, it is those things that win me over day after day! What is different about our lo...

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...

Weekend Recap on a Tuesday! :)

So I was trying to get this posted yesterday but the littles decided they wanted to test Mommy yesterday and not allow me to get anything done. By the time both kids were in bed for the night I was so tired I just went straight to bed instead of having some "me" time. This weekend started out running errands and going to the park! We haven't been to the park since August when I was put on bedrest! Our newest park member! She learned to climb the slide from her Aunt. She watched her climb up and just had to do it herself The park can be exhausting for little boys!  Scott got home late, late Friday night like 12:30 am and we went straight to bed because he had to be up and out the door for a class at 9 am. He was gone until 4:30 and as soon as he got home Charlotte would not leave his lap! Even with baby Riley sitting there. We watched football all day, and even late into the night, since Saturday is devoted to college football! The ...
