the girls


i am loving that it is summer and that my girls are all home with me.
i will admit that on occasion the days can get a bit long trying to find things to do to fill our time up, but nonetheless it is wonderful to have my babies with me.
for the most part the girls are loving all this sister time....they play "let's pretend that..." and this can go on for quite sometime. riley does her best to keep up.
speaking of riley...talk about a busy baby. she is non stop energy all day long. she has no volume control and she knows how to hold her own. i guess she has to with two big sisters.
she now says "thank you" and she is just so proud of herself every time she says it.
what a blessing these little ones are.
two weeks ago we started a kid's Bible study at our house. it has been so amazing to watch them respond to God's word.
they have weekly scripture memorization and are both doing a great job at learning their verses.
i took a few pictures this last week of our time together.
that's me and the girls in a nutshell lately.

i took a few pictures on friday morning for fun. here are some fun and funny ones....

 this seems to the the common theme among these girls during picture time...one ready and willing to pose, one completely distracted and the other completely clueless that mommy is holding a camera♥

the girls and i made sugar cookies to share after our bible study. stars and hearts were a must...
worship time
 this week's lesson was learning to soak our hearts with God's love
 a page from ella's soaking journal...it says He (God) told me that my heart will be clean...

Happy 4th of July♥


wacky science party

we celebrated this special girl on saturday...

her mommy did an amazing job planning her party. the theme was wacky science. it was the cutest party ever!!
i was asked to be the designated photographer for the day. so naturally i took about a gazillion pictures to capture this special day.
here are a few handful plus a few more of my favorites....

i loved all the amazing decorations and elements...
a highlight of the party...a scientist complete with science experiments for all the kiddos....
 this was chloe's reaction when the scientist told them the next experiment would explode...

a few shots of some super cute kiddos...
Happy 5th Birthday Ariana!! I love you sweet girl♥

the butterflies


chloe got one of those butterfly kits back in march.
due to our crazy schedule we held off on ordering our larvae.
in the mean time the girls made great use of the butterfly holder...using it for just about everything other than it's intended purpose.
i sent for our box of live butterflies just before school let out.
it was absolutely incredible watching the transformation these larvae...kinda nasty to be quite honest...went through to become these beautiful butterflies.
it reminded us daily of the perfectly amazing God we serve. only He could create something so stunning.

this past friday we released our butterflies. the girls can't wait to do it all over again.



it's here...

summer has officially arrived...
