This last week, Andrew was out of the country, so it was just the kiddos and me. I’m so thankful he’s home now…we missed him!!
Day 176: I woke up with two kids asleep in my bed. I guess they knew that since Daddy was gone, I might need company :).
Day 177: It was Kensington’s turn to spend the night with Lovie and Papa Jay, so Smith and I had two days just us. This is him telling me all of the fun things we are going to do while K is gone…they all involved super heroes, pizza and sugar.
Day 178: My Friday night date. We ate pizza and then went to see a movie (Spider-Man 2, of course!).
Day 179: I spent my Saturday shopping and smelling candles with this cutie pie.
Day 180: Ready for church…I love these two so much!
Day 181: We discovered Lemon Oreos. Oh my goodness! This momentous occasion deserved recognition! Delicious!!
Day 182: Happy July 1st!

Last week, we also had tennis camp. My kiddos look forward to tennis camp and Erika and I look forward to watching them all week…
Smith, Ebby Lee and Kensington all lined up and ready for Coach Andrew (Nixon was with the other group and Coach Byron).
On another day, the girls practicing with Coach Byron.
And the boys with Coach Andrew
And just because it’s silly 🙂
And just because she’s so sweet 🙂
Every night, Kensington lays out her outfit for the next day…jewelry and “lipstick” included.
On Sunday night, we celebrated with Smith’s tee ball team…his very first trophy. He is so proud of it!
And this picture cracks me up! This was after we had gone swimming on Monday…can you tell which kids don’t take regular naps any more and which kid still does (and needed a big one!)?
On the foodie blog today…
…my Blueberry Banana Bread (and it’s so simple too!!).
And on a totally random note…I got an email from Toms this morning that their new fall line was out…and listen, there are some really cute things! I’m totally loving their new booties and my favorite part? No big blue tag on the back (I don’t really care for the big blue label on the back)…
…cute, right? They come in 4 different colors too.
I”m also mad about these plaid Toms…
…and the cheetah printed ones…
Anyway, it was a fun email to receive early this morning. You can see all of the new fall Toms here.
Happy Thursday everyone! Have a wonderful July 4th!

Utterly adorable that Kensington sets out her clothes the night before? Did you train her to do that? And does she pick out her own outfits too? Where do you get her clothes?

I love all these fall Toms! I'm so excited!
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAT? New booties with no tag on the back? Way to go TOMS! Sweet pics of your sweet kids!

I think it's great you try and spend time with each child alone! So important! My girls are 8 years apart so I get plenty of alone time with each of them, but I can see how it would be harder when they are closer in age. The one on one time with Mommy; they will remember forever!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for NO BLUE TAG on the Tom booties!!! This really made me happy. One of the main reasons I didn't buy them last year.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Have a blessed day! 🙂

Kensington is way ahead of the game as far as organization. She's got skills at 5 that most adults don't have – and it will serve her well. In the picture what is she setting her outfit on?

I love getting to the office, and having my Shay, Sheaffer, Slaughter, and now Andrea "fix".

Love Kensington's pretty yellow dress! That is her color! My Olivia lays out her clothes and accessories often too! I love that! I don't really even have to help her do anything as far as dressing in the morning anymore. She spends about 20 minutes in the bathroom primping and she's only 7. She comes out with her hair fixed and looking cute!

Could you please tell me where you got K's adorable yellow dress? I am in love. Pictures of the kids are so sweet!
Tracy says
LOVE those new TOMS!

Katie says
The lemon oreos are AMAZING! We discovered them last summer and have been obsessed ever since!

So fun! Kensington might have to start her own blog! 🙂 Your kids are seriously the cutest! How often do you guys see Sean and Catherine? I bet they are really cute with the kiddos!

Parenting solo is hard! I know you're thankful that your mama is right down the road.
