Andrew and I are going to AWCF Gala tonight…and we’re about to get photobombed.

We were so honored to be a part of this wonderful event.

Chloe went to her friends “rock climbing” birthday party 

Fun times. 🙂

Chloe went to a Girl Scout sewing and fashion camp this week and today all the girls wore their own designs and walk the “runway”. The teacher introduced Chloe as very creative, very soft spoken at first but who came out of her shell when she began to explain her thought process about her designs. Chloe called her top ice concept matching with her butterfly high and low skirt.

I was blown away. Great job Chloe!

Chloe and Shane went to Pilgrim Bible camp for the past 6 weeks this summer and today they have a presentation for parents showcasing what they learned. They also projected slide shows from the field trips and the overnight retreat which I really appreciated and enjoyed.

Haha, I wonder why they got in trouble. Chloe…

Thank you everyone at Pilgrim! What a great program!!!

Had a wonderful day…we went to friend’s house after church for an afternoon of fun food and swimming then I headed out to dinner with my close girlfriends.  Love you guys!

Our whole family was invited to a bbq/birthday party today. We had just picked up our very tired kids from the retreat and went straight to the party. So thankful they had a great time and came back safely. 🙂

Thank you so much for having us, Wishiks family! Happy birthday.

We went to yet another pool party/bbq at our friend’s place today.  Love summer!

They are becoming master divers.

So grateful!

After dinner, all FIVE kids stayed over for a sleepover tonight. That’s 7 kids in the house.

The littlest one saying goodbye to her mom…. I’m not sure who’s going to cry first…

Before bedtime, the girls read,

and boys played games….

They chatted until close to 11pm! I have no idea what they were talking about but they sure had a lot to say about something.

These (overexcited) kids woke me up at 6AM. I’m not even sure how long they’ve been up.

Breakfast at 7AM. What. The.

Shane has mastered cutting pancakes!

Right after breakfast we hurried off to church for a Sunday worship, followed by a memorial service… What a crazy busy fun (and sad) weekend we had.

Nothing says summer like some lobster rolls and clambake with cocktails!

Recipe here

Strawberry mint and lemon mojito… I’m going to make this my signature summer drink! 🙂

Best part of it all is having friends you love over to share.
