All Week Long....

Me + Mazi

All week I have been and will be taking care of her. She is huge! At first she can be a little awkward, but her personality grows on you. It is so funny to watch her and Sterling interact because she is so much taller than him. She can literally walk over top of him and has done it a couple times.

Art from the Heart

A couple weeks ago I got an idea for a canvas to make for when Carli and I move into a different room. I just finally finished it today. It will be a constant reminder of the one who is always there even when we don't feel it. Which is how I've been feeling a lot lately, so this painting is like a small encouragement.

Beat the Heat.... {the fun way}

                Just a few thing we've done and you can do to stay cool in this amazing weather.

1. Run through a sprinkler with your clothes on. If you feel a little crazy doing this as a teenager, grab a younger sibiling. We did it with some younger kids from church after a cookout on Sunday.

2. Wash your parents car. It's a great way to serve them, but have an excuse to go crazy with the hose.

3. Start a random water fight or water ballon fight. Water balloons make it way funner.

4. Put your swimsuit on, grab a sprinkler and put it under your trampoline. We actually did this with Moriah the other, day it was super duper fun!

5. Walk or drive to a local gas staton and get a slushey. we legit do this like every day.

6. Go to a pool, and then call me and invite me! :) I haven't been swimming yet this year. *hint-hint*

Happy Memorial day!!

                                                        yep, have a good one!

This Summer

Some things I kinda feel like I need for summer, or want.

                   I just saw these the other day at Old Navy. And, I love them. Cute, simple and fun!

                                                  A great dress from AE for summer.

                          Some great bright colors for summer. Plus, Carli has it and it's amazing!!

                                             Who doesn't need some cute jean shorts??

                                       i definitely need these. if only they were at my forever21

                                                                   pretty tunic :)

Carli's Usual Look

                         that's what you get for putting a picture like that on the computer.

Spring

Sorry for not posting in like two weeks. I've really wanted to, but just been at a loss for what to do. I finally came up with something.

The past couple days we have been blessed with some beautiful weather, definitely shorts and flip-flop kind of weather. Which is wonderful, a nice change from all the rain. Yesterday I got the chance to steal Moriah's camera and take a couple "springy" shots.

            This tree is in our front yard, I absolutely LOVE when it blooms, it is soooo pretty :)

                                                just last week, I swear these trees were bare

                                                the weeds popped up, matter of fact, i need to go pull these
