Museum Monday

Today, we went with our cousins and friends, Sissy, Elizabeth, and Thomas to the Children's Museum! It our first trip, and we had such a good time! Of course, a lot of it had to do with the fun company.

The Museum admission is a bit steep, but it is worth it, for sure! I guess you pay extra for the educational experience. The girls had so much fun that they are already asking when we can go back.

Although, this would not be on my list of cheap outings, it is definitely something fun to beat the heat right now! I bet it would be equally fun during the fridged winter days!

93 Years!!

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. -Titus 2:3-5

My sweet grandmother turned 93 years old! She has taught me (and many others) so much about loving and obeying God and loving my family! I am so thankful for her long and fruitful life! I love you, Grandma!

Night Owls

Tuesday night, we had our playgroup over for potluck dinner and some fun play time for the kiddos (and the adults, if we are being honest). We had such a great time! In fact, the kids were having such a fantastic time playing games with the daddies, that everyone didn't leave until 9:30 pm! Yes, we were a little grumpy the next day, but it was well worth it! We love our playgroup friends!

A Sweet Visit

We went to visit Mama on Monday, and once again, the girls and Mama had such a fun time. It is so fun to watch Mama enjoy the girls. She literally lights up when she sees us coming!!

We had an icecream snack, colored several pictures, and solved a few puzzles. These are all some of Mama's favorites, and they happen to be some of the girls favorites, too!

Sugar and Spice

My brother and sister-in-law are expecting a baby girl in September which means we are expecting our first niece!!! The girls will have a sweet baby girl cousin which they are completely ecstatic about. We can't wait to meet this little princess. I know she will be every bit as sweet and beautiful as her Mommy and Daddy.

We had a baby shower for the parents-to-be at the lake this past Sunday. Here are a few pictures from our fun time:

Beating the Heat!!

This has been one hot summer! Here's how we have been staying cool but still having fun:

1. In the evenings, playing Hide-and-seek with Daddy....you don't notice anything but fun times while spending time with Daddy!

2. Limiting our outdoor play to the mornings.

3. Going to the pool any and every chance we get!

What have ya'll been up to? I would love to hear any suggestions you might have on cool, cheap summer fun!!
