July. I don't know how to articulate my feelings for July. Its scorching afternoons and no rain. Its popsicles and sprinklers. It sun kissed cheeks and trips to the park. Its sun through the windows making you smile. Its sidewalk chalk and snow cones. Its the county fair. Its glorious. This July hasn't let me down. We are making the most of our summer. We haven't done all that we have said we would do, but we have had a lot of precious family time and made our own agendas. July has been all that we needed it to be.
This big boy turned 5 months in July. He is a sweet, jolly blessing. He is my son. :)
10 little fingers, 10 little toes... perfect for kissing.
This little mama right here... she turned 6 in July. Thats right, the precious angel who turned me from a woman into a mother is now... *gasp* 6 years old!
This cake took me the better part of a day to make. Its my first attempt at a multiple layer birthday cake. I have seen prettier, but it tasted pretty darn good. And most importantly, Sophia thought it was the 'bestest cake in the entire world.' Which means i would not have changed a single thing about it.
Baby boy getting into the Birthday Spirit!
Arabella getting her party on as well.
Sharing her birthday with a special friend. :)
They are all mine, and I couldn't be any more proud. These three little blessings, here.... they make me and their daddy's lives brighter each and every day. #thankyouJesus!
Big Sister is the boss, please don't forget it.
Bella had a tonsillectomy this month. It has been traumatic for all of us, but she is on the mend. I only mention it because thats why she is a little out of sorts in some of these pictures... :(
A special thank you to July, which i will continue to pump every last moment of enjoyment and summer out of. Cheers!
