Well, it’s been a great summer so far. Notice I wrote so far. Because I’m in denial about the fact that it’s August 10th already! Geez. Never ready to say goodbye to summer.
Here’s a little update for you about our summer. I’ve working on updating a few favorite recipes from the blog. One is the Zucchini Bacon Corn Medley. Which is a favorite for our family and many of our friends love this dish too. So the old pictures…well let’s just say they could use a little help. It just proves how much you can learn in one year.
Here’s another update I did recently. Blueberry Whoopie Pies. These babies are DELISH!
Well, I finally forced, bribed, convinced (whatever you want to call it) the kids to let me take their pictures. I had a blast and I think they did too. Summer pictures are just so fun because I love bare feet. Plus I have beautiful children so that just makes it even sweeter.
Here’s a few to share.
Oh my goodness. They are growing up much too quickly. Makes me want to stop and cry for an hour but I’ll keep moving.
We’ve knocked a few things off our Summer To-Do Fun List.
We’ve really got to nail down these last few things. We only have 3 weeks left to finish our fun! The drive in hasn’t had any decent movies on the weekends we’ve been able to go but I’m somehow really hoping that might still happen. Time will tell.
Here’s a few random pics of relaxing fun we’ve had. Things like coloring out on the deck, boating and taking a hike. That’s a picture of the kids peering over a small bridge of a stream.
That’s a collage that I put together as quickly as possible and cut off their faces because I’m REAL good at that stuff. 🙂
If you follow me on Instagram you already knew this: My oldest son and I got to go on a 6 mile run/bike ride this week on the Capital Greenbelt. That was a great time. Some parts of them getting older are a lot of fun. I’d love to do again. The other 2 were enjoying themselves at VBS.
Here’s our updated list for now.
Hope you’re having a terrific August!
