Snapshots from our day - October 10, 2017. 

Ava loves holding Ella.

Asher and Ella. 

Ella trying out her new swing. 

Playing Uno this morning. 

My niece had her 2nd birthday party today. This dear friend enjoyed his arms full of babies.

A whole bunch of crazy cousins!

Princess Ella is 3 weeks old today! Her sisters dressed her for the party.

Jacob had today off for fall break, so he got to read to the kids. 

Tired mama but enjoying baby snuggles. 

The frozen peas were used for an ice pack on a boo-boo and then doubled as a snack too. Haha

Reading before bed. 😍

August edition of 10 on 10. Posting late...again. haha, such is life right now. I figure though, that years down the road when I look back at this little blog, the date posted won't matter, it will be the memories that matter most.

Yummy, yummy cherries.

Always drawing and crafting.

This captures their personalities perfectly. 

Current read-aloud. There is some boy/girl stuff I skip over that I don't feel is age appropriate for my kids. 

Levi got new glasses to wear for 4 hours each day. He wears his other glasses the rest of the day.

Levi was so excited to get to push a little cart! 

More playing. We've had lots of inside play on the super hot days.

Craziness always happens at bedtime.

Lily captured this sunset - she shares my love for beautiful sunsets!

A blogging friend wrote this and I'm so excited to read it!

Here are a few pictures from our July.

July has been a hard month for various reasons, but I'm thankful for God's promises and faithfulness that has sustained us. 

For about 2 weeks Lily was dealing with a weird health issue that resulted in doctors appointments, losing 4lbs, an ER visit, x-rays, and other tests. We praise the Lord for guiding us through this rough time and giving much grace and strength. Thankfully all is well and it turned out to be a food sensitivity causing the problem. She's been so much better after removing eggs from her diet and getting her tummy back in working order.

The three big kids had a 4 day art camp, so I got to spend extra time with these sweeties. It's SO hot and humid, most of the time we spent walking around stores to stay cool. 

We managed to spend about 20 minutes at a park before we were all melting.

Funny kids!

Reading together.

At an outdoor concert.

Ezra loves the splash pad!

New art supplies = non-stop creativity.

Yummy popsicles on a hot, hot day!

I love beautiful sunsets.

We had a busy weekend, so I didn't get 10 pictures on one day, so we'll just call this the weekend edition :)

Beautiful weather and I love this tree!

Picnic at the park.

Not the greatest picture, but my sweet daddy telling my kids stories about me when I was little.

28 weeks! How am I already in the 3rd trimester?!

I love these kiddos!

It took all my courage, but I managed to take our new van through the car wash! We barely fit, but thankfully we made it ok!

My youngest brother graduated from homeschool high school!

Lunch at 5 Guys with family.

We had a great time visiting with Uncle Joseph and Aunt Audrey!

We've been married 9 years!!
