Last I wrote was in May! A lot has happened in life between now and then. But I figured I would just start with the fourth of July! Over the fourth we saw three different fireworks shows. Kayla really loves to watch them so we took all the opportunities to see them we could. We went to one with our friends in Rogers, the Farmington show, and on the Fourth with family in Springdale.

Kayla wanted Westin to do some sparklers too!!
We have really been enjoying this summer. Last year we barely stepped foot outside, but it has been a mild summer for which I am grateful. We literally go outside every day and the kids love it. We have gotten to know our neighbors really well and they have two kids right around the same age as our kids. We couldn't ask for better neighbors. So needless to say we play with them a lot and spend a lot of time in the pool!!! |

| YUM! Popsicles and one sticky girl |
The girls and I have also been enjoying the rainy days and playing in the rain. I loved to do that when I was a kid, so I really enjoy watching them.
Other than that I have been trying to organize and get a lot of those "little things you want to get done around the house but always put off", done. We've patched holes, painted, organized closets, got new shelving in the kitchen for extra storage (thanks JIm Higgins) etc... and there is still more to be done.
In a little less than a month I will be turning 28. WOW. Time flies I really don't feel that close to 30. But we can't stop the aging process. I'm glad about this actually. We get to gain knowledge and hopefully mature a little. I didn't hate my teen years by any means, but I definitely see teens now and have to laugh that I was probably just like them in my own world all about me. I think i'll embrace getting older.
Now for some cute pictures of my sweet ones.
