July ~ Part 1


Where has the summer gone y'all?!? 
I'm dying as I write about our summer adventures with only a handful of days left before that S📚 word picks back up again! 

But alas, let's get into it and reminisce together.......


We started the summer right - at the beach!

She tells it better ~ 

Woody came out to say hi! 

Mennonite store candy haul!

This was my summer bucket list ~ ask me what' I've gotten done 😬

Mia's first braids!!!

Dessert popcorn!

Post-braid church hair 😍

A good basement clean always feels great! 

Seth finished up soccer ~

More beach days!

We had a sad loss on the property when fire blight came in.....

Kylie had some tummy issues 💔

We decided to get out for the day, headed to the zoo in Watertown ~

😬 My butt stayed on the ground LOL

Then to one of our favorite playgrounds!

She is NOT a water girl! LOL

They're always watching!

My mom called me while we were at the splash pad that day asking if she could buy tickets for the next day and surprise Kylie ~ 😍

She met Cinderella!!!

Meanwhile.....

Nothing like a good hammock day ~ 

Nala is a good yogi LOL

We are obsessed with cooking reels LOL

Bompa had a birthday!!!!

Daddy had his summer tradition ~ sunrise coffee by the campfire!

My niece asked me to make her favorite for her wedding shower!

This loss was harder than the backyard one 💔

Time to celebrate the bride & meet my newest niece!

(Second bride in training ~ she's getting married in February!)

❤❤❤

Sisters with weddings 5 months apart!


The next day we'd be heading off on our big summer adventure.......
