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!

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!

Five on friday

We had the most wonderful week!

First it started with a kindergarten graduation! What an exciting time for her and a little bittersweet for me. We already know who her first grade teacher is and who her classmates are :)

My sister go married!!!! It was beautiful!

She also had an amazing photographer found here

I'm always so thankful for my sisters. They are my best friends! Always there for me whether I need someone to talk to and laugh with.

Next week I'm creating a summer itinerary that will include reading, crafting, outside play time, and other daily activities. I'm thinking it'll look something like this. I love that certain days I can remove things and add others. As summer needs to be flexible!

Brynna and I went for a girls afternoon and had manis. She requested we do pedis next time also :)

Brynna will always pick a fancy nail! This girl loves animal prints!
