Lots of this going on around these parts. So much to clean in this old house!! Luckily I have some great help!!

The Joys of Summer

These two!

Anyone who has been around our family this last year has noticed the crazy relationship between these two. Isabelle has been all over Karter since he was born! Squeezing, pinching, hugging, kissing, and pushing. So crazy!! When he was old enough to understand he would cry when she would get too close to him, knowing what was coming. These last couple weeks I have finally seen them enjoying each other. I think Isabelle has lightened up a bit and Karter has toughened up A LOT! (He hasn't had much of a choice in the matter.) I haven't been able to capture a great picture of them together since the day he was born. Finally I took one that I just love. Laughing and smiling, having so much fun! I just know they will be such great friends.

Love, love, love....

I love, love, love my kids reading books. I set the kids up with library books right before bed. With our crazy summer schedule we haven't been reading in the evenings as much as we normally do. Lots of rushed evenings trying to get the kids to bed since we were up too late. It was great to pull out the books tonight and watch them enjoy!!

Before....

& After.

We decided to hold off on his big party and are planning to have it sometime in the next couple weeks. We just celebrated with our little family. He completely devoured his cake, so fun to watch!! Sock Monkeys was the theme and we will have more decorations at his future party.

What a happy birthday boy!!

Guess What We Watched Tonight
