6 months (June 26 - July 25)

July!

Mimi was in town and we discovered this amazing oasis by our house called "The Nature Reserve."

Katelyn pretending she is me "nursing."

I took the kids to the Summer Movies and we ran into friends!

How adorable is this yellow bikini - so these lyrics comes to everyone's mind when they see it:

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini

That she wore for the first time today
An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini

We had Bob and Barbara over for a backyard BBQ (and Mimi)

"Mom, can we play in the rain?"

"Sure!  Why not?"

My sister got me these chalk labels and I love glass containers in my pantry and decided that I would pull them all out one afternoon and label them - love getting little projects like this completed!

Some pics of "The Life of Grace."

We took Mimi to our favorite Breakfast Spot - Smithville Bakery

4th of July Girls! (Katelyn cannot stand the sun in her eyes!)

We took Mimi to the boardwalk for some fun!

Birthday Party

Ice Cream Truck @ the party - super fun and yummy!

Love the GRIMM Family!

Beach Days!

Surfer Babe!

Having a new baby this summer made it nearly impossible for me to do beach days by myself with the kids so we found other things to do like roller skating!

Of course, we met some friends there for added fun!

Sisters!

I also attempted to teach the kids how to hang laundry to dry - it is a work in progress:)

... and teaching Daniel how to do dishes!

Fusion Mom's Beach Day!  Baby Tent!

I took the kiddos to visit Jamie while she was in rehab - physical therapy!  We just love our Jamie!

Kids went to such a cute birthday party - it was a color run!

The aftermath in the tub!

Our Angel!

She loves her toes!

Trying to take a selfie with her before church but she only has eyes for Mommy!

Toes again!

THOSE EYES!

Tummy Time in Daddy's office!
