july has been such a busy month! weddings, family reunions, family vacations, and everything else in between. let me just say that i am ready to not live out of a suitcase for awhile. ;) we had so much fun though. lots and lots of family time…from both sides too! the girls did awesome with the many hours of traveling in the car. i was impressed. there were a few fits here and there…but i’ll just blame that on being in a new place and thrown off of our “schedule.” haha.

^^^look at all those super cute cousins! 12 girls and 1 boy. hehe^^^

the girls had so much fun spending time with their cousins and getting lots of extra attention from their aunts, uncles, and grandparents! i wish they all lived down the street from us! ;) most of the time was spent outside by the pool. and the other time spent was me putting sunscreen on them! man we went through a lot of sunscreen. i gotta protect my pale babies. although P is darker than me and tans easily. (must be nice). ;) it’s okay, i’ve accepted my paleness and think it’s cool. ha.


^^^group hug! love those kids! i miss them so much already.^^^

now that we are home we have a lot of projects around the house that we want to get started on…mainly outdoor ones since we actually have a backyard now! if you follow me on pinterest then you will see lots of “outdoor” pins lately. i have big plans for that backyard. so many projects, not enough time! story of my life.

well i’ve said this before and i will probably say this again but i hope to get back to blogging more now that we aren’t going anywhere for awhile. my future self will thank me later. ;)
