summer in a nutshell

It’s almost august and I have yet to blog about all of our fun trips we’ve been on the past couple months. summer has flown by… we went from jamaica (with no kids), to florida (with kids), to new york (just me!) and it has been such an adventure. I can’t get enough of gorgeous beaches.
my kids all turned 2, 4 & 5. and I didn’t even get to have a little session with any of them. maybe these pictures could count…
when we’re not traveling, we’re living in our community pool, or other friends’ pools!! It’s been so flippin’ hot here, and once again…it’s not even august. mark has been home all summer and what a dream it’s been. I know this will most likely NEVER happen again, so I’ve been soaking it all up and we’ve enjoyed having him home. 1 more year of law school…and then the BAR. so about this time next year I should be blogging about all the celebrations we’ll be having since mark will be a graduate.
until then… my kids are still cute, but don’t let their cuteness fool you… they keep me on my toes while running circles around me daily. and yes, every day I wonder what the point is of picking up toys, crayons, underwear, shoes, food, etc…
sometimes I think I live with a bunch of animals and for some reason I can’t find a lock to their cages. nonetheless, they say and do the darndest things that will have me on the floor rolling. for instance, yesterday out of nowhere, avery was walking around the house singing, “baby, I like it!” straight from the lyrics of Enrique Iglesias. I died. it was hilarious.
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as we are. august is almost here and I’m taking the month off to get in some good quality family time before mark hits the books again. I’m booking for september and october now… it’s time to start thinking about christmas cards. stay tuned!


p.s. yes, my kids hang out shirtless (in their underwear) all day long…and avery chooses to wear the boys’ underwear…

Yup. Three of mine were shirtless for most of the day yesterday. What’s the point of putting clothes back on after you’ve been swimming, right? Sounds like you are having a great summer!

Haley

I’m still laughing out loud about Avery singing Enrique, that is the funniest thing. Sure love to see shirtless kids running around, feels like summer to me!

Elizabeth

Ambyr, please please please, if you love me, ask this darling girl where she got her boots and the brand name of them. Could there be a more perfect pair of classic, simple, cowboy boots? I daresay not.

every year my sister in law and her crew come down to visit for about a month….and every year I get the privilage to capture her sweet kids and beautiful family. It’s so fun to look back at every year we’ve done this….more kids have been added a long the way and all the kids grow up so fast. We had so much fun this past time doing all the fun things families do. miss you guys already! hopefully we’ll make it up to Indiana soon!!

my second home…

I lived here for about 6 weeks. we were trying to find a home while mark had just started law school and we had closed on our house and had to be OUT! my dear sweet terin. she took us in. mark and I and our 3 kids. bless you woman! we had a lot of good times. Well, terin and her husband and 2 adorable kids sold their house and she wanted me to capture the everyday moments before they moved out. It was like old times when I was there….I just adore this family and am so happy I got the opportunity to do this for them. love you guys!!!

Terin
