AUGUST

One of those months that both flew by but also went way too slow?!?!

He loves this 😂

He actually does…we have done a lot of Halloween shopping together this summer as a distraction from rough moments.

These cats love her, even though she can drive them nuts!

Fun friends escape room night

Got the beams OUT for good. Much betta!

They did their best to protect our house from the dust but our kitchen was full…lovely children.

I love building with my Sia!

Date with my gals. Taste (wherein we discovered our favorite cookie in Provo) & Planted in Pages.

…..and it begins…BEST time of the year 💛

😂

Attached this quote to my Builders of Faith eraser treat as a back-to-school encouragement…we all need this reminder!

Starting to work on our Christmas gift from Brian. Gwinna did a few panels and sia did half of one…pleasantly surprised that they did it with me!

I love this little lemon slice, its in a new spot every morning😊

😍

Gwinna has figured out what works for her hair more & more & she is GIDDY about it 😍 YAY!!

Book of Mormon challenge as a stake for these last 3 months! SO awesome.

Also Noelle has made multiple batches of perfect cookies after being bummed about a “too flat” turn out!

We got a massive box of peaches. Is there anything better than biting into a fresh peach on this earth!?! So GOOD.

OH…didn’t get pictures but me Gwinna and Sia also did another quick day date to Spanish Fork Homegoods & then The Wall Brothers Barn to get AMAZE apple cider slushie drinks & some awesome sourdough!

Gwinna started on the 10th & Sia & Noelle on the 31st but we celebrated all together.

I made them sticker collage cards from their own collection of stickers because I can’t help myself.

& done 😄

JULY

A HUMBLING Summer…

Only pic we got of him on his birthday (taken by Noey)

Our 7 year old Halloween baby…always a baby 🎃

My 4th nails done by Gwinna Jo!

We found MJ’s car (SLC airport) switching spots over 4th weekend 😞

❤💙

The next day 😂

Bistro 234 with my gals

I did enjoy my solitude in my hotel room. Bought myself a candle, a quilt and a couple puzzles, stayed up to date on my 90 day Book of Mormon challenge :)

Into doing “nells” lately ;)

So fun with Asher baby. He is hilarious.

Sia loves helping Tio Bobo with the fireworks

Sweet little Hilmar fireworks. We had multiple shows from where we were sitting 💥

Some shoppings…

3rd to the game but she did her whole room herself with LED lights

Cutie scenes

YUM…need to do this again before summer ends

Back home for HALLOWEEN shoppings 💛

I love this man…hated the nose of this gnome though so I made him a new one! 👇

18 year old speaker today said this line: “I dont think God asks us to be grateful for every trial but I do think he Invites us to TRUST that he can make something beautiful FROM them.”

This Noelle loves her kitties.

Scene on my bed when MJ was gone. This has NEVER happened…generally they sleep with the girls. They knew I needed love. ❤️

Puzzles I did when MJ was away.

Gwinna Jovee turns 14!!!

SUCH a FUN moment doing a Christmas escape room (Noelle was not interested) We solved things & held hands to sing when we couldn’t figure clues out 😂 The worker was AMAZING staying on top of where we were to get us the help we needed.

LOVE this Bluey-loving teen baby!

SHOCK & SURPRISE of their lives having Tia Stephanie, Bobo & Asher showing up at the door!

TOO FUN.

Play date with Layla in her new town 😎

Ant Lili & Jet came to stay for a few days with us! So FUN. We did the DREAMWALK, puzzled, played with new Thunder baby kitty, shopped at Trader Joe’s, got in n out & chick fil a, made pesto pasta together, shopped at Farmhouse Peddler (good job buying a piece Lils!) & quoted SO many movies! Such a needed & lovely time. Oh…and we got rear-ended. Not so lovely, but SO grateful for Lil’s calm in that moment. Poor Sia probably the most freaked out by it but Lils said let’s say a prayer & it will be ok. And it was. The guy was apologetic & asked if everyone was ok, all smooth.
