7.30.18

Even though today is the last monday, in our last full month of summer... I will be thankful for the prior week's goodness.... there was lots of it...

Thankful for Tuesday's party! Celebrating June July and August fam!


 Thankful for Grandpa Ray. He pours his heart into our kiddos and we really really love him for it.
For example, this Bull is one of their gifts to Hannah, and it took him forevs to inflate ... even with the right tools! Bless his sweet self
 Thankful for Auntie Paula and Uncle Steve being here to share in the celebrations!

Thankful for Hannah and her bestie Hannah, A year apart with many miles to distance, can't stop these two.
Thankful for Big H's helping hands! Allen was loving the bubbles!




Thankful for Hannah's little buns, and Aunty's bun in the oven! We cant wait until November!

Thankful for PGM and the instant "at home" vibe Matt gets every time he goes.
Thankful for Mimi and Grandpa Ray!
The girls loved the scary face idea, the boys were over it 😅
Thankful for birthday giftcards, and sales at Target!
Thankful for active mornings and restful afternoons.

Thankful for our forest friends. We love being so close to all the animals!
Thankful for city dates!





 can't believe we had never stopped and actually enjoyed Milenium Park, the face fountain & Maggie Daley Park.... it was a must do... and thankful for my sis in law's app smarts. Spot Hero finds the cheapest closest parking spots!



 Why we have never been to this exact spot for a christmas card pic is beyond me. This is filter free and just beautiful. That background and all the love in the pic. So perfect.











 The one thing about city fun is that you need to really be on with your timing.... we weren't.... and we needed to kill about 2 hours before we could breeze home traffic free.... off to the movies at our favorite theater... and look at that front row parking space.... woot woot !
 Hotel Transylvania 3 !
Thankful that all the physicals are done! And some yummy recipes were found in the waiting room. 


 One last grill with the fam before they left for Boston ( also pictured are a couple cuties that Mila bbsits)



 Thank you Hawaiian culture for the love of all leis.... we loved getting leis in Hawaii... and we knew that was one cool vibe we could try to bring back with us...
The goal was the whole lei covered in those fanned out dollars, but that takes T I M E. wow, so they clearly just got an envelope instead ;)

 Thankful for a new to us Matt friend. Bringing the total number of Matt's at our little gathering to 4, one isnt pictured. Clearly a great name ;)
 Sunday afternoon playdates!


 Thankful for our church's huge lawn and for the fun and freedom the kids can have post service!

 Thankful for Hannah's huge heart for Hudsie. And for Hudson braving the rockwall for the 1st time!

Thankful for long time friends, who drove a long time, to spend the night with us. And gifted us the most amazing chocolate cake! Yum!

 Harrison, Hudson, Amelia, Eva holding Lucia, Hannah.
