July

We finally had a bit of rain in July...it seemed photo worthy!

We celebrated independence day!!!

The kids discovered mattress "sledding"!

Spent some time building with K'nex!

A couple pictures of my Hibiscus beginning to bloom!

A hot hazy sun coming up one morning!

We went to the zoo, had a great time!

We started school July 16th!

June

Well here are my random shots from June....I know it's practically the middle of July!! Better late than never!!!

Baltimore Oriole that was hanging around our place!

Gumballs!

We tried to do several crafts/projects.  We made some homemade bubbles, had no bubble wands so we had to get a little creative!!

We made pretzels for supper one night...Brie had a lot of fun rolling and flipping! 

Some angry storm clouds...unfortunately they didn't bring much rain!

The boys hanging out!

Zeke created some art one morning!!!

One of our neighbors had this tent sent up for a party...I liked the way it looked! 

That is my wrap up for June...maybe July will be on time!!!

Summer

Today was the first day of summer!  We celebrated with a little party, I just LOVE decorating and doing something special!

Brie made the sign!

 The above and below shots are our spread!  We made Koolaid Popsicles, barbeque beef sandwiches, grapes, chips, rice, cotton candy, and homemade peach ice cream for dessert!   All four of the kids cut the  flowers!  I love flowers, aren't they beautiful!

Streamers wrapped around jars, super simple!  They were very pretty lit up!

My kids thought this was the coolest thing ever!  I took yogurt and spread it around the top of the cup then dipped it in dusting sugar!  You can use regular sprinkles, and you can use frosting to make them stick!
Did you do anything special to celebrate summer?
