I love going through my iPhone and finding pics of my peeps. Here are some from this last week or so…I love the randomness that is my life :).
Lots of mamas and kiddos in one elevator at the mall. Narci, Andrea, Sheaffer and me (plus our 9 kids were in one elevator together) :).
Cute pic of kids or headlock? You decide.
Ahhh…my sweet girl!
They were “sharing” a chair.
Smith was swimming in the pool when he looked up and realized a snake was swimming in there with him. Eeks! He wanted to hide in my lap after that (I would have died!).
Flippers.
We kind of live in the car some days. On this day, we were waiting for the pool to open. We took a bunch of selfies to kill time.
Ebby Lee came over and spent the night with us. The girls swam for 3 hours after dinner and then went straight to sleep (they were wiped!). We love hanging out with Miss Ebby Lee! She is precious!
I walked by the pantry and saw a boy in his undies shooting a bow and arrow. Typical Thursday.
Kensington’s favorite part of getting her hair cut? The shampoo :).
She wanted to face backwards for this picture so that everyone could see her new haircut…
Walking to lunch.
Smith usually passes on dessert but after church on Sunday, he asked for chocolate cake…and boy did he enjoy every bite!
Jenga face. My kids love playing Jenga but it stresses them out at the same time!
On Monday, Andrew and I had to sign a bunch of papers and the kids tagged along…thank goodness for technology. We waited there 45 minutes and if not for iPads, they would have been swinging off of the ceiling fan while we pulled our hair out.
My sweet girl :).
Today on my foodie blog, I’m sharing my favorite lunches of the summer! Click here to see all of the simple goodness.
Yesterday, I blogged about my friend Annie Downs’ new book Let’s All Be Brave and I was completely overwhelmed by the response from you ladies. Apparently, we all need to work on our bravery (I know that I totally do!).
Annie has graciously donated 3 books to giveaway but after the tremendous outpouring yesterday, I really feel like I should buy 7 copies and give them away myself…so instead of only 3 winners today, we have 10!!
For those of you who didn’t win, please consider getting the book. Based on the sweet and honest comments yesterday, this book would be a blessing to us all.
I’m emailing the winners below right now! Email me back to claim your prize.
Congratulations

Megan says
I didn't win but I wanted to say I think it's awesome you are buying additional books to donate! ♡
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog says
I CRACKED UP when I saw the picture of Smith in the pantry on Instagram, and did the same just now. That already made my morning!
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
First of all. Jenga TOTALLY stresses me out too! I get it Smith! Second. That pic of you and the kids waiting in the car? SO CUTE! Third. If Smith ever gets in your pool again, he's more brave than I am. Fourth. I want that chocolate cake.
Sarah Kuykendall says
I love how the mamas and kids hang out so much. I used to do that with girlfriends but we have kids of so many different ages that it doesn't work as well anymore. I miss those days. If there was a snake in the pool, I would NEVER return 🙂 Even at my own house! 🙂 I found myself wishing the paperwork was for your adoption!! Time to get that book, since I didn't win. Thanks for introducing us to that book.

Narci says
Love that sweet pic of you and your kiddos!
Jen Fisher says
My husband saw a snake in our back yard and it took me a good three weeks before I would step foot out there again. Smith, I feel your pain!
Tracy says

Audra Kelly says
I think it's awesome that you bought copies to give away~ Just hate that I missed the giveaway! Guess I should do a better job of keeping up with my favorite blogs! 🙂
Melissa Kelly says
I am still getting over that snake in your pool! Poor Smith, I would be so traumatized. Such cute pictures of your kids.
Kim Taylor says

Elaine says
Love Kensington's little dress in the first few pictures!
Brooke Haas says
Obviously all the pics are adorable (but, snackes OMG!). That last pic of K is just simply gorgeous!
