Summer Fun

This summer has been so much fun! From camping most weekends, to play dates throughout the week and watching the Little Monkeys grow more and more each day to watching Logan mature and get ready for kindergarten, it has been quite the whirlwind! The time has gone by so fast and in just two short weeks Logan will be starting kindergarten. I can hardly believe the time has come!

My DH had his 34th birthday in July. The boys and I ended up getting him Apple TV for his birthday and he was so excited since he has wanted this for a couple of years after seeing it at our friends house. After having some computer issues we finally were able to get it installed and load all of our pictures onto it to view on our TV throughout the day. As I look at the pictures of Logan through the years I am amazed at how quickly time flies! To see these pics of him at the same age that Caden and Colton are now just blows my mind. It is fun to see how much all of the boys look similar at this age, but yet so different. Here is a glimpse:

And a pic of all three of them now.

My Big Boy Logan wanted to try his hand in feeding his brothers. What a good helper!

This summer, I also survived four days with the boys and without my husband . DH had a guys weekend planned for some much needed rest, relaxation, and have a good ol' time away. He went to some drag races with six other guys, including my dad and BIL. And, in just a couple of weeks I will be heading out of town for a girls weekend away to scrapbook for four days. I can't wait to scrapbook all of the fun we have had this summer!

Tell me about your summer...what fun things have you done?

An Everyday Survival Kit

I was given one of these survival kits a long time ago with each of these items placed in a bag with the words attached by a ribbon to the bag of items. As I was preparing for an upcoming scrapbooking weekend away I came across this and thought I would share it.

Infertility Is Grief

I came across this article on a friends FB page who is pursuing adoption and thought it was so relevant.
