more silly girls

Lu is so proud of her garden stone-this is the first time it has actually been outside!  I love that she enjoys crafts and she really getting good

So Violet has seen more than her share of work on the computer as you can see.  This is actually Lucinda's and Violet prefers it over her own mainly because the "mouse"!  I laugh looking at these pics because she really moves the mouse looking for a change on the screen.

And it also is a phone! 

Girls having fun-

I can't believe how fast this summer is going!  We have had so much fun playing at home.  Violet is into EVERYTHING-just as she should be.  Also, trying hard to keep up with Lu.  Lucinda is really becoming a little girl and has a great imagination.  I love watching her play!  I am always learning from the girls...Throw away any lipstick that you don't need!  Enjoy some pics from the past few weeks.  

Poolside pics-I know this is old school but so helpful being out in the heat

she watched Nesta do this and now thinks it is necessary all the time!

Lu, I mean Ariel, can't be still in the pool

Dress up time!!

Tea Party

Backyard Bible Club

This week has been a blast with Backyard Bible Club.  It is a VBS for our Lansdowne kids and they have loved it!  Also, a great way for Lu and I to get to know some of the children in the neighborhood.  I love hearing her sing the songs and teach her princesses about what she learned for the day.  Just another way God is showing us we are where we should be!  As a parent I am so blessed to share this with my child and others in our neighborhood.

Silly girls

9 of us made a trip to the North GA mnts for a much needed girl weekend.  It was a blast!  We have 17 kids and one on the way between us.  Our trip is much different than our husband and equally fun.  It was fun to spend some time with the girls.  We ate lots of yummy food, good drinks, rock slides and paddle boats.  Can't wait til our next trip

Anna Grace birthday

Last Friday the girls and I went to celebrate Anna Grace's birthday at Build a Bear.  She and Lu were in dance so I am sure you may have seen her face in previous blogs.  I just love seeing Lu with her friends and they all are also so sweet with Viley.  Happy Birthday Anna Grace and thank you for sharing your special day with us!

Fripp Island, SC

Here are our pics from our trip to Fripp Island, SC with Jason's family.  The girls loved the water and their hats!

Father's day

Playing Wii, Jason takes it serious even with a three year old!

Cleaning out my camera, I realized that I had not posted some pics from Father's day.  Even though Jason and myself were away from our dad's the girls were able to enjoy time with theirs.  They love being in the kitchen and helping him.  

Bonk's Wedding...

Getting this ready

Well, I have finally got to the pics from Bonk's wedding weekend- it was a blast!  Aunts, Uncles and cousins really worked hard at making this day special not just for her, Garrett and Grace but also my parents.  She got married actually on the beach and the reception was held at my aunt Di and uncle Fred's pool area.  It was beautiful!  I tried to take as many pics as possible during set up and decoration but unfortunately didn't get many of the actual reception.  (I tried) Lu, Viley and Grace had fun being together.  It was special to me because I was able to spend time with family that I don't get to see often.  

I know that much love went into the weekend and I wish the best for them.  Welcome to the family Garrett!
