"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."— C.S. Lewis

Why hello there, summer.

Enjoying Settlers Park in Meridian with cousins Kodee, Lilly, & Sophia. Two of my children actually got sunnburns. I thought we might make it through June without any, because of all this rain. Good times, even if they may pay later with sun cancer. Yikes! That Mom-Of-The-Year award just keeps slipping away.

Happy Thoughts

After getting a horrid haircut this week, I have been trying to channel happy thoughts until it grows out. (Good luck, right?)

Matt & the boys first fishing excursion.

Kaleb's toad, Lucky, who has already lived up to his name.


Rainbow Art!

Fresh picked cherries.

The dive across the street was painted at long last!

A perfectly cooked quesodilla.

Farewell to Four

Half Decade

Creative Therapy Thursday

This has been my newest way to unwind, can you tell I've been stressed? :)

Family Motto

You say it's your Birthday?

A wild Zoo party for our little monkey.

Aden is 5!!!

Playing at the park on the official fifth birthday. This was also the first day of summer vacation. I am taking a lot of pictures because I am not sure the boys and I will survive the summer together. Better grab some memories while we can!

After the birthday buzz I will post 5 year old reflections on the past year, the celebration, & the year to come. Or probably just pics that say it better.

Overheard

Matt, as he put together the new fenced area for the dog:
"When all else fails, get ghetto."
&
"Babe, I'm like Macgyver, I could build a bomb from grass."
