June

We can still have a party with our kitchen under construction!

We celebrated Breckam's birthday at his house on Sunday.

Lazy Monday morning

Snowcones with Bryan, Weezie and Joe!

A month long journey getting underway!

Farmer's Market finds

Pool snack: plums, blueberries and grapes

Love these fishes

I told Taco I'd give him $5 if he pulled his tooth. He didn't think twice and pulled it!

We celebrated Nana and Papa Joe's 44th wedding anniversary at The Levee.

Anders' team party was at Bama Bounders.

During the week of VBS, Josie and Ella came home with us everyday. 

They were such a big help to me!

And all of my kids love them!

Swim day at MeMaw and D-Daddy's!

Jaden went home with Parker, so MayMay got to come play with Cora.

Elijah couldn't hang anymore.

They had a big time in the makeup.

Anders got to spend the night with Levi!

Since I just had 3 kids, we made it to breakfast at City Cafe with Papa Joe!

Michael and Anders at VBS

They love Water Day!

After VBS, when Brad got home, we took Jaden back to church to talk with Mr. Kenyon about accepting Jesus into his heart. He had been questioning things for a couple of months now, and was finally ready to make the best decision ever. We are so very proud of him!

Brad and I went to Ross Bridge for our 10th anniversary. 

The big boys went to stay with Nana and Papa Joe and got to go to Barnes and Noble and the library!

Cora and Elijah stayed with Mimi and Pops and had to go to the doctor to get medicines for bronchitis. :(

Late night ice cream run!

They were all worn out after a long week at VBS and a weekend at grandparents houses.

Cora's contribution to the kitchen renovation...

Elijah's first time in the pool.

Sweet kiddos

Fun at Zac and Ethan's 7th birthday party

Darth Vader made and appearance!

Fun at Breckam's 3rd birthday party!

Happy Father's Day

Cora's first year of swimming lessons.

Teagan spent the night with us!

CHOM day with Mimi, Weezie, Joe, Josie Ella and Eleanor

Swimming lessons were cancelled because of Tropical Storm Cindy.

Jaden went to the Avery Johnson Basketball Camp and we got to watch him for a minute on Wednesday.

He had a great time!

They'd rather eat UNDER the table.

Finally a night at home. 

9 month check up and 5 year check up.

19.13 pounds and 29.5 inches 

42.8 pounds and 44 inches

We love Dr. Buettner!

The only way we can get things done around the house sometimes.

(As my babies grow up, I think that this is what I almost miss the most. "Baby wearing" has always been something that I love.)

We went to see the Braves play in Atlanta!

(There's another blogpost on this trip.)

When there's not a babysitter available, EVERYBODY goes to the doctor's office.

Thankfully this was just a recheck for getting Jaden's tonsils out. Dr. Benoit said that Jaden looks the best he's ever seen him. YAY for no more tonsils!

"Look Mom! I made a rainbow!"

Swimming with Brody and Levi.

(Brody and Jaden were playing baseball on the other side of the fence.)

We didn't buy anything at Legoland. Instead, we ordered some of the items the kids wanted, for cheaper. When they came in, it was like Christmas morning!

Spencer and Parker spent the night with us, and Cora spent the night with Madalyn.

Still without a functioning kitchen, we HAD to go to City Cafe for breakfast!

Swimming at MeMaw and Daddy's before lunch!

Lunch at Cook Out for $16!

We were supposed to go to the Zoo with NBC, but it rained, so we went to CHOM instead. 

Josie and Ella went with us too!

The caboose is 10 months old.

He's so much fun!

During breakfast, he wanted to hold my hand while we ate. Oh it was the sweetest moment.

Loyal, by Lauren Daigle was playing on the radio. 

I cried.

The big kids spent the night at Nana and Papa Joe's farm!

Brother time, while painting their clay bowls from CHOM.

Blessed.
