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: Prom night!

Happy Tuesday! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday, and today we are talking all about Prom! Here are a few facts first before all the pictures of itty bitty high school me! 1) I dated the same boy from freshman year of high school until senior year of high school so he was my date for his junior and senior prom which was my sophomore year and junior year. 2) I went with my best friend my senior year. I had a good time, but missed my boyfriend pretty much the whole time. 3) I went all out for my first prom sophomore year, with my hair, nails and prom dress and then again my senior year. 4) I only participated in senior skip day, which really isn't a thing but seniors do it anyways at my high school, my senior year. My best friend and I met super early on the day of Prom for breakfast and coffee and then just spent the rest of the day together doing random things like shopping, then getting our nails done with one of our other friends, and then ...

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...

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday Ya'll!  I am so glad it is Friday! It has been. rough week for this momma, the kiddos have been loud and crazy but have been so good this week but everything else is just super crazy haha!  Today I am linking up for Friday Favorites with Narci , Andrea and Erika !  So here are some random favorites that happened this week! Cuddles with this sweet boy have been a favorite this week! I have been having on and off contractions and lots of pain so I have been bed ridden for a good portion of the week and this little has hung out with me and watched cartoons! Cuddles are definitely a favorite!    Trying to let this boy in the house more and more since its been chilly outside.  While the training process has been rough, he has started to snooze in the afternoons and those are definitely a favorite!  Breakfast conversations with these two are a favorite from this week! It is always non-stop with these t...
