Trying This Again

I tried settling in at a new place over at Wordpress, and I just couldn't love it.
 So I'm back here trying to figure out how on earth to get my blogger blog to WORK correctly!
So frustrating. I feel like all of this time has passed that I want to document, and I can't :(
 Here goes: another attempt. I don't even know where to begin, so I'll just jump in!
Summer is halfway over. How can this be?? My most favorite time of the year, and I can feel it slipping right through my fingers.
We've been busy with BBQs, get-togethers, camp-outs, and so much more.
And our August calendar . . . I don't think it has one blank day!

We had a wonderful 4th!
Jeremy and I spent the first part of the day at the Timber Festival with our "big girls",
and we spent the rest of our day roasting hot dogs and marshmallows at home, while enjoying our modest, little backyard fireworks show.

The girls helped make our favorite dessert, and it was gone just minutes after presenting it :)

Just a few days after the 4th we were headed for our week-long camp-out and Family Reunion in Central Oregon!



 

And that's as much catching-up time I have for today :)

I've missed y'all!

Ours was pretty spectacular. 

How about yours?

Behind, As Usual

So much for blogging more ;)

Summer is such a busy time for us.  Busy, but full of fun.

We just got back from camping! 

I can't wait to share all of those {fun} photos, but first I've got to catch up a little. 

Story.of.my.life.

So.

Rewind to the 4th . . .

We had a nice, quiet, 4th of July at home.

We bought a few fireworks, invited the grandparents, and enjoyed the show.

{Poor Kam couldn't make it past 7, so she missed out on the fun}

Someday I'd love to take the girls to a large display, but for now we enjoy just being at home.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th!

We've been painting nails

 making desserts,

and preparing for fireworks!

Hope your day is filled with family, fun, food, and sweet sweet memories.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Whew!

I think I need a nap.

We have had a busy few days,

and are preparing for many more.

We are headed to our Family Reunion Camp-out,

albeit a few days early, to get some fishin' in.

Our first camping trip with three little ones,

and already I'm noticing the extra "stuff"

as I make my couple hundred trips out to the trailer :)

So . . . I may be MIA for a bit,

but that's okay because we're sure to be having

LOTS-O Summer Fun!

And now I'll leave y'all with a few fun 4th photos ;)

The girls enjoyed making {and eating} a very festive cake

Patriotic donuts are the food of choice during a parade, don'tchaknow

{Um, are you totally lovin' the super-cool shades as much as I am?}

Enjoying Kam's first parade

A few fireworks

Front-row seats for the show

Hope you made lots of great memories too!

Happy 4th!

Wishing y'all a Happy and SAFE 4th of July

Full of fireworks, family, and fun!

Friend Makin' Monday ~ The 4th!

Here I am, tuning in to another week of Friend Makin' Mondays {It's been awhile}! Typically hosted by Kasey at All That is Good, this week Shawn from Seriously is hosting! Go check 'em out :)

Here we go!

What are you doing on this July 4th?

While we don't have firm plans yet, I'm sure we'll go to the local parade in the morning, and probably do our own fireworks in the evening at home.

What is your favorite dish to pass when attending a 4th of July Party or Summer BBQ?

I typically bring a pasta salad or cheesecake (or both!)

Do you have any 4th of July Traditions?

Parade-watching and setting off fireworks!

Share your favorite July 4th picture.

As for the Trivia . . . I had to guess on numbers 5 and 6

Shame, shame, I know!

Happy Friend Makin' Monday!!!!
