Summer Round-up {Pt 2}

It is my goal to:

Now while that quote is all about fitness, it applies to my who life. I have turned into the excuse queen lately--some are totally legit, but none the less they are excuses. I have sorted just been spinning my wheels this summer and now that summer is nearing the end I find myself struggling for routine and consistency. I have let lots of things go---which in some ways has been good for me {ie letting Chad have complete control and reign over being Mr. Mom and staying out of it} in other ways it is slowly killing me to give up control and lack a personal routine. So the above is my new motto.

I want to get back to blogging and scrapbooking again. I am looking forward to having a bit more free time come this fall?!?! But then I thought that about my summer schedule. HA!

So here is what we have been up to lately. Not a lot really, just a lot of fun daddy time.
Daddy has been so fun and awesome in taking the kids to toddler time. Mommy usually stops by after work and picks up MW since he hasn't been a fan of swimming until about a week ago.


We did find time to sneak in a family zoo trip. It was a lovely lovely day. Honestly we have had a very mild summer in comparison to the last 2-3 with 100+ days for the entire month of July.
They each brought their favorite zoo lovies.
Being a bear.

I may have mention this 1 or 27x but seriously! God' greatest creature.


I am just going to throw in the 4th of July pics here. I forgot our real camera. While I am glad to have an iPhone now the photos aren't the same.
4th of july pedis.

My cousins and their families invited us over for a BBQ and swim fun for the kids. Lo is the only girl, but she can hold her own with the boys.


Water balloon fight. Auntie Meg is the best.






Fireworks.


This boy and his loves!!!



They love this jeep thing. Both just cruised and cruised.
After we drove home watching the most wonderful firework displays all around us we sat outside and watched our neighbors go crazy. MW was a tad less than thrilled. HA!
Then a bit of sparkler fun for us, with our annual firework dance.

This is a lovely picture I know--just capturing my weekend on worship team. I love to sing and lead worship, but my vocals are really struggling as of late. I have been suffering with laryngitis off and on for months. Coaching gymnastics and singing just don't blend. I am scheduled to get my throat scoped in a few weeks to see if my worst fear of nodes comes true. {Always makes me think of Pitch Perfect when I say that, but it IS true!}
MW and I doing vocal warm-ups. Lip bubbles.
My cousin and sister are doing this!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's been 2.5 weeks and I am already seeing some good results.


Pool time.
My sister is a film student graduate and she was doing her final project and of course yours truly was in it again. I have mad acting skillz what can I say. HA! This is her friend and she dressed up like a boy {who was really a girl pretending to be a boy...} It was shocking.
This kid.

The boy princess...turned
into a pirate. Their imaginations crack me up.
Grandma Rachel took us to the 3 Little Pigs Picnic in the park. I love these little theater shows as do the kids. So fun!!



Dinner time antics. Or Super Dinner as Lo calls it.
Teaching her doll some 'nastics.
And finally my first fruit of my labor. Our garden is finally taking off. I already have big{ger} plans for next year. We may just til up the whole backyard!!
If you made it to the end thanks! This completes this installment of iPhone round-up.
