Sweet Summertime

Thursday, about 4:30 pm to be exact, we officially began our summer.

I have wrapped up my babysitting job for the time being.

We loaded up, in pajamas, and went for 1/2 price Sonic milkshakes to kick off our summer.

Both Caleb and Brady were very excited about this little, impromptu trip.

I LOVE being a SAHM during the summer. If/when I have to go back to work, I will miss being home during the summer the most! Well, summer and Mondays, I like being home on Mondays, also.

We stay on the go during the summer. We have some big plans including VBS, a lot of pool time, a few trips, and a very special first birthday!

I am excited about this summer specifically, because I worked two summers ago, quitting my job at the end of July '11. Then last summer I was VERY pregnant or had a new newborn. We stayed pretty active and enjoyed what we could both summers.  This is the first summer, since becoming a SAHM, I can really jump in full throttle and enjoy it with my littles.

They are both at such great ages with one entering toddlerhood and one a mostly happy, energetic 4 year old.

I have high hopes for this summer, I am sure with these cuties by my side, I will not be disappointed.

 



Summer Nights!

Even though I still have to work and nothing is really different for me, I still get pretty excited about summer!

I really love summer! The long days, hot sun, and good moods that seem to sweep the nation as schools let out and vacations begin are something I look forward to each year.

The magnolia tree and lilly's are blooming in our yard.

They are so pretty this year!

The days stick around a lot longer after work giving us plenty of time to enjoy them.

The bugs need finding, the yard needs playing, and the flowers need watering!

We are all excited to start enjoying our summer nights. I anticipate lots of grilling out, ice cream, and laughter this year.

There is just something so fun about summer even as an adult!
