Back To School Party

Last night our sweet friend Kinsley and her mommy, Holly, hosted a fun back to school party for the preschool gang.  These kids have all been together since they were babies!  My kids started in the nursery at preschool when they were 5 months old.  They had a great time getting to play with each other.  It was bittersweet for all the mommies as we said good bye to our preschool days and all go in seperate directions to our schools.  We made plans to keep getting together!

 

 The group of friends.  There are a couple missing, and we sure were sad they could not make it.

 Of course Addison would look down!

 Best Buds!

Fun with Cousins

Last week we went to spend a few days with my sister and her family.  We went to the swim club with them and the kids had a blast!  They braved the high dive and then spend the whole time jumping in the pool.  They were exhausted!

This is a regular expression for Addison these days.  Oh how I love this strong willed girl!

 Glade jumping off the high dive!

 Addison's turn.

Thanks Denise, Jeff, Dylan, Drew and McKenna for spending time with us!  We had a great visit!

Sewing

My latest sewing project.  I made Addison a skirt.  It turned out super cute.  I used my yo-yo maker to decorate the shirt.  I am hoping to get some more sewing done this week.  I have a first day of school outfit planned!

Addison the "fashionista"

Addison put on a fashion show one day.  How she learned to pose I will never know.  She is such a girly girl though!

We loved the Olympics

These kids loved watching the olympics.  They liked all of the events.  Addison would jump and flip around while watching the women's gymnastics.  Glade loved running and boxing...pretty much everything!  One evening we went out and had our own running races.  Sorry for the dark photos.  We had to wait until almost dark to be able to get outside and not die from the heat!

Picture overload

I just got around to getting pictures uploaded from my phone. So here you go, this is what we have been up to this month.

Rainbow

We went to Sam's last night and while there the sky opened up and it rained.  HARD!  So we had dinner while waiting on the rain to stop.  When it stopped we came out the most beautiful double rainbow we have seen.  It was so pretty!

I couldn't help but think of Noah and his family and what they must have felt seeing the very first rainbow.  Knowing God, I am sure it wasn't just a little half rainbow.
