In July

No swim team to get us up early every day, and not a lot of other plans.  Just a lot of sleeping in and chilling. 

And posing with store displays. 

Summer at it’s best. 

The adults in this clan got to go our on 2nd annual float trip with some of our favorite friends.  It’s a good white trash time. 

We also snuck in some good old fashioned people watching at Six Flags. 

At the end of the month, we packed up and joined family down at Pensacola Beach.

 

Just lovely. 

The water was as calm as can be.

 

We rented these paddle boards for the first time ever.  Super fun. 

My sister-in-law, was able to capture one of my favorite family photos, to date. 

Also… Batman came. 

School starts in 12 days!  Ugh.

It looks like I’m an annual blogger now.  My bad.  I’ve got about a dozen drafts started, but they all seem pretty irrelevant now. 

Not much has been going on though.  Life’s just been full of brotherly love over here.

Just kidding.

Even so, here’s some pictures to make it look that way.

We framed this up for G for Father’s Day.

 

Not an original idea.  But I like our spin on it.

 

New this year:   Ace & Echo

These guys are our new friends around the house now.  

AROUND the house, not IN it.  Anymore at least.

They surprised Grant the other day with their first mouse.  He was beyond thrilled.  They’re keepers. 

They boys have kept busy with sports.  Jagger is really loving basketball lately.  Every other word out of his mouth has something to do with Kevin Durant.

Cash did two seasons of soccer, and then decided it was time to retire. 

He claims he wants to focus his efforts on roller skating.  We’ll see.

Someday I’ll post the total befores and afters of our exterior renovation.  We are so close! 

In the meantime, here’s a little bit of the summer prettiness that I get to enjoy.
