This was the same day as the previous post but I totally forgot to come back to the blog and add them. We don’t often go to this splash park because it’s super crowded, kinda big, and not secure (not enclosed) but it was fun for a visit.
They’re probably going to never forgive me for this… but these ladies (and their kids) have become a big part of my (and my kids’) life. A, B, and C, you are beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
Sorry for the tilty pics. I generally do not like tilty [...]
We almost missed the email about dinner at our friends’ house to celebrate the completion of their new patio and playground. I did not get many pictures of the actual patio but I took tons of pictures of the kids!

Lowell woke up with a fever. I don’t know how high. I didn’t take his temperature. I know I’m a bad mom, right? I should know exactly how high his fever was… but he was hot. We skipped church but David still had to go operate camera 2, so it was like… I dunno… Monday [...]

Meet the birthday boy for whom I sewed the puzzle ball. He has the best blue eyes ever.
What would you do without your friends? These ladies encompass some of the longest and funniest and strongest friendships I’ve had. Let’s hear it for the girls!
This picture was taken because Jeni (fourth from the right or fourth from the left) and her family are moving in, like, a week to a [...]
