Weekend festival

We enjoy hitting up small town festivals all summer long but our favorites occur at the end of summer.

This weekend we went to Otter Fest. It was Bryellas first time playing games. She's hard to keep still and loves doing what the big kids do. These games were perfect to keep her happy! And boy did she have many helpers! :-)

Who brings a snake to the park?? Eeww

Mad dash for candy!

Since all my children have winter ish birthdays my mom decided to celebrate their birthdays this summer so she could be involved. #snowbird My kids loved it though! Definitely made me wish one of my kids had a summer birthday as a warm swimming party is just way more fun than a cold ice skating party!

Bryella enjoyed her cupcake but not the sticky mess at the end ;)

Hope to enjoy this weekend as much as last!

July 4th

Our 4th was pretty quiet as I worked all weekend. #nurseslife I did snap a few pics though and joined the adults at the sandbar.

I don't know that I've ever seen the sandbar so packed. There were more people behind me even.

Thee most exciting part was my baby went on a jet ski ride!!!

Bryella is reminding me of brynna with the inability to look at the camera :) #thankgoodnessitsjustaphase ;)

Here is my 4th of July beauty queen! 

I hope everyone had a safe weekend! God bless our troops!

Learning to drive!

We were at my aunts house celebrating my cousins return/vacation from England and we were able to play with this! All the kids loved it and apparently I need to buy something like it :)

Talk about adorable! My kids amaze me every day :) 

Puddle jumping

Summer has had a pretty good start! We've been so busy playing outside, at the parks, on the trampoline, camps and walking every day!

I have been working hard on worrying less and being that yes mom!

No shoes while walking the block to the neighbors? Sure. I remember never wearing shoes as a child, I shouldn't insist my kids do.

Want to play in the mud puddles just after your bath? Why not, we'll just wash up again. I guess we are making memories and messes :).

Bryella is just like her sister and drawn to water :) I've lost the battle.

Someone has been busy getting a ride all over town...

Look at that face! Pure joy! 

Brynna and bryella seem to both be learning to ride bikes ;)

I hope everyone's summer has been going as great as ours!
