I wrote that title just in case you didn’t realize the fact that it is July!
Like me, that is.
JULY!
The goal I have as a start date for full-time school is four weeks from Monday.
FOUR WEEKS.
Thankful for photos and videos to hold on tight to each season’s memories!
These photos of Ruby are a treasure!
She won’t be a puppy forever!
We really enjoy looking back at puppy photos of Sadie.
I know we will enjoy these photos just as much!
We had some visitors this week!
Blake’s folks!
I did a SPLENDID job of taking photos while they were here.
Did not take ONE.
Thankfully, Kayla took a few when she had lunch with her Dad, sis and grandparents!
We ran around one afternoon to show them some of our favorite places!
We also spent time with our favorites!
Which we do A LOT….and LOVE a lot more!
Blake and I had date night last Friday night!
We are working hard right now to bring our relationship to a NEW level!
Date nights help with that!!
Our van left me stranded on the side of the road on the way home from date night.
It was late and DARK, I was on a country road….but Blake was in front of me a bit, in his truck.
My cell phone had service (SO glad!) and I was able to call him and say, “TURN AROUND!”
SO thankful for how this all went!
All of the kiddos had been in that van all afternoon that day with Addie Mae!
Needless to say, our van is headed to the van graveyard.
We spent all day Saturday looking for a replacement.
Monday night we were able to pick up our new wheels!
I did not realize how bad our van was until I drove this beauty home!
I feel SO blessed!
I took the kids for their first ride in it yesterday!
We went and had ice cream and then went to the library!
We have been spending time doing all the normal life things lately too.
There is always something to fix!
Like the fridge door that would not stay shut!
We also had a huge electrical problem this week, but Blake found the problem!
It’s the second mistake we have found in our electricity here – so I am thankful for all Blake knows about this stuff!!
There is also always something to clean too!
Like our little “mudroom” in the garage!
The weather has been lovely lately.
I know you know what that means!
Some sky photos, of course!
Beautiful weather gives you a great reason to hang out with your pup in the very early morning!
We also have been grilling out quite a bit.
Have you all ever grilled peaches?
Please do!
They are SO yummy!
And when you have helpers they are more yummy!
Addie had a visitor at work one day.
Isn’t this photo SO cute??!!
Thanks, Kay!!
This is the way the littles head to bed every night!
I wonder how old they will be before Blake cannot do this anymore?
They giggle the whole way down the stairs!
How’s that for July so far?!
I say pretty GREAT!!
Looking forward to many more summer days and getting ready for school to start!
I need to start working on that a bit, I think!
I will have a high schooler again this fall!
Hope you all are enjoying July to the fullest!!!
