Life lately…
I mean…I should just go ahead and change Kensington’s name to Grace. She would be thrilled if I did ;). She came downstairs matching the cover of her Grace book perfectly.
Grocery shopping with my big, middle and little.
We took Ashby to see her first movie in the theater and she loved it! My big kids really loved Inside Out (I thought it was really cute too!), and I think Ashby liked the whole experience. She sat on my lap, ate her popcorn and watched (she also commented quite loudly when she thought things were funny).
Saturday.
Ashby loves it when the air temperature is just to her liking…in the car, she’s always saying “too hot” or “too cold”…she’s very particular about it. On Sunday, she was saying “too cold” at the restaurant, so Kensington snuggled with her.
Backyard time with this guy on Sunday afternoon.
Trying to take a group picture while we waited in the car for the pool to open…two kids are looking and one is giving bunny ears.
Smith entered the cannonball contest 🙂
And Ashby decided that she loves jumping off the blocks!
Chasing bubbles on the driveway is always a fun thing to do!
Sweet girl and her bubbles :).
We ate supper and swam with the McAnallys on Tuesday night. I love me some Andrea :).
And I love these six kids too.
Life lately has been very low-key this week. We’re excited because even though today is Thursday…it’s really Friday, right? We’re super pumped about our three day weekend! Want to know what else we’re pumped about??? My Lemon Ice Box Pie with a Golden Oreo crust…
…only five little ingredients to the pie (including the crust!). This would be excellent for your three day weekend!

And don’t forget, if you’re praying with me this month, the prayer request post can be found here.

Such a precious family! Love Kensington's love for AG dolls. Growing up, I read all of the books and had Samantha! Plus K could be Grace's twin! 🙂
