So far...

So far in the first 3 weeks of Summer vacation we have had the stomach virus, strep throat and a raging case of impetigo. Oh, and a teething baby cutting molars. That counts as a sickness, right?

Tuesday afternoon of this week it was nice and sunny out so I decided while the teething baby was napping I would go lay out on a towel and try to catch some rays so I won’t fry like a pice of bacon on our upcoming trip. The next thing I knew, a little girl with the cutest snaggle tooth mouth came out with her bathing suit on and plopped down right beside me! A few minutes later the others started trickling out and pretty soon this was the scene:


We had the best afternoon!!!!! Who needs a pool when you have a 5 gallon bucket, kiddie pool and a cooler???? And that teething baby slept 2 1/2 hours and was in the best mood to come join us!

Slowly but surely

7. feet


I couldn’t decide which one was the best/my favorite so I decided to pick both!!! I love how in the first one its like a woman having to look way over her pregnant belly to see her feet!!! And then of course the 2nd one is just so precious. Big feet, little feet.


8. things i cherish


Lazy summer mornings with my peeps. Especially when they are getting along, which, amazingly they were for a few minutes of fun in the rain yesterday morning!

On My Plate

I’ve missed a bunch of days and am going to make them up but for now here is yesterday’s prompt from The Bethadilly 365 Challenge Day 6, On My Plate.


Replace the Ezekial bread with butter for a couple pieces of bacon and this is my favorite Whole30 breakfast. Not only is it delicious but it makes a beautiful plate!!

Commitment

You read it here first, folks. I am committing, COMMITTING, myself to a Summer photography challenge. And committing to doing it right here on this blog and NOT social media. I am deactivating my social media accounts for the Summer. Yes, the whole, entire SUMMER. I’m scared y’all. Like really super, duper scared. But I am looking forward to it. I want to get back to blogging and the only way to do that is to cut that social media habit for a while and get back into the swing of this being my only outlet. I.can.do.this. I can. Wish me luck and check back daily for a new blog post and photograph!!!!!





 Henry is 18 months now, believe it or not! He can say: Mama, Daddy, Bubble, Bubba, NoNo, Uh-Oh, PawPaw and something really, really close to Mickey and Daniel. He’s got so many teeth now and just got finished cutting some molars. Took 14 days for those puppies to both fully break through and he was the crankiest, the clingiest little boy around. But it never interrupted his sleep so I will NOT complain. He could eat his body weight in blueberries and strawberries most days. He loves whole grain waffles (plain or blueberry) avocado, cereal, gold fish and pizza. He knows what a pizza box is and what leftover pizza looks like in a container so there’s no fooling him and he will eat 1 whole piece if not 2. In these pictures he was not interested in playing in the sprinkler or little pool as it was windy yesterday so kinda cool if you were wet. He plopped down in this spot and sat here watching a fly buzz around him for a solid 10 minutes until I got my camera out and then he sat there for another 10 at least. Just sitting there, laughing, watching flies and pretending to eat rocks so I would tell him NoNo and he’d laugh. Then Audrey came out and he started fussing for her to pick him up. He loves all his siblings so much and has started giving them hugs, especially when they pick him up.
