We had a fantastic August and I am SUPER excited (and a little overwhelmed) to catch up the blog with all we have done. So many memories and fun times with friends and family that I want to document. Here are the 10 Highs (in no particular order) of this final summer month!
10. Summer Swimming and Lounging at the Pool
Who doesn't love a slush puppy on a sunny day?
What a true California girl!
Swimming smiles!
9. Orange County Fair with the Laughlins
Someone was a little to little to ride the rides!
and others are just plain daredevils!!
8. Beach Babes!
We love our time with the Dubost Family! Always fun and adventurous, these four get a long so great! And I get to catch up with their Mommy, a win win for all!!
7. Zoomars! A place to do it all - train loving, picnic having, animal feeding, and horseback riding all in one afternoon!
A box full of kernels! So much better than sand :)
Giddy Up Horsey!! Its time for a ride!
While Addie was a seasoned pro it was the first time on a Pony for Reese! She jumped in the horse trainers hands and loved every second of it
Proud of this brave little girl!
Handling and feeding the animals with care!
6. Shopping
Spent lots of Days making and buying our Christmas gifts!
It was tough work but luckily I have some great helpers!
and of course food shopping!
Baking Bliss
Tried my best to meet my summer goal and make one new thing a week. It was hard and I might have skipped a a week here and there but we definitely enjoyed some fun treats!
Blueberry Monkey Bread
Choc. Chip "Chickpea" Cookies!
and My favorite fresh Lemon and Raspberry muffins
4. Fresno
We celebrated Miss Lila Bee with a Pinkalicious Birthday! Our days in Fresno were full of swimming, eating, and lots of playing! Thank you Grandma for the matching dresses!
love these little faces!
and these sisters!
Last picture I have of this family of three!!
because our newest niece is here, Harper Grace, and we couldn't be more happy! She is gorgeous in pictures and we will be meeting her in just a few short weeks!
3. Special Visitor!
Uncle Chris came to visit and brought with him great news! He received a job offer in Santa Cruz and him and Anja are moving to California later this month!
Smiles all around because we will get to visit and see them lots more!!
2. Baby Brother
Our little man is a Champion, truly a gift from God. We are anxiously awaiting his arrival and honestly counting down the days until we meet him! (87 days to go!!)
1. Anniversary
A night on the town with my husband and cheesecake - it doesn't get any better than that! We had a lovely dinner at a steakhouse and enjoyed every second of it being just us! Hard to believe its been six years since our wedding and just looking back and seeing how far we have come as a couple and now as a family with kids is amazing! Kevin and I have truly experienced Gods love through it all and we couldn't be more happy!
Phew!!!! Thanks for stopping by and catching up with the Jones' !! Lots more to come xoxoxxo
