Summer Lovin' Part Two

Since you all liked seeing the pictures I decided to post some more today!
These are just every day photos from the summer.
I try to keep my camera by the door and just snatch when I see there might be a memory being made for summer 2014.
Of course, I do not document or photograph every memory, but I try as many as I can.
Many are just written in my journal.
Kyle is gone here and there during the summer  most of the summer,
 so when he is around Konrad is his sidekick!
You'll be able to see that in some of the pictures below.

Here's some more photos for your Monday!
Happy Monday, Ya'll!


















Happy Monday!

Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day…
One of the biggest blessings in parenthood is when I watch Kyle give our children grace and love when clearly there should be a spanking or some type of discipline involved. 
Instead he gently lowers on one knee and explains why the behavior or action presented should not have happened, and then gently hugs and loves on our child. 
It's such a picture of what God does with us daily.
The amount of grace He offers us is unbelievable, yet so believable. 
What He did on the cross…
there are no words. 
I hope you and your family have a 
Happy Father's Day!














Happy Father's Day, Kyle!
We love you, and we are so thankful for you!

Summer Lovin'

Here's a little glimpse of our summer thus far…
We've only just begun!
We're trying to enjoy every single day with doing something fun!
We're also making lots of memories! 
I hope your summer has started with a BaNg! 
Enjoy!




















The sun comes up
It's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes

Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name

Barfield Beach Trip 2014

SSI 2014


It's beginning to become an annual trip! 
This year it was so much fun!
Having littles and their grandparents together makes any trip fun!
Last year when the family went to the beach it was just Konrad…
This year we had Konrad, Mary Wesley, and Sophia! 
Going from one to three in one year…
How fun?!?!
Just think how happy the grandparents were!
Both of their children, the children's spouses, and their three grandchildren in one place…
It was awesome!
There are fewer things that make me happy
than seeing grandparents and their grandchildren together!
We played on the beach, Konrad swam  jumped in the pool 9000 times, 
ate good food, and visited together. 
We even all went out to eat as a family with the children.
It was so delightful!
Here are some pictures from our trip!
Hope you enjoy!



It's a pj picture!
These two have some fun days ahead!




I guess this is how it goes…
I take two pictures. 
One smiles in the first, the other smiles in the next. 



Mary Wesley has been walking taking steps since ten months. 
She is finally getting to where she walks more and more. 
This particular night on the beach she decided she'd walk every where! 


Happy Girl!



Yep, she's got him wrapped around her little finger!

My girl!


Daddy


Mommy


"Hey guys…wait for me."


Mary Wesley ate enough sand at the beach to fill up a coke can.
Yal, i'm serious. Every time I turned around she was eating a handful.
It did not matter what I did!


The best Nana and Grandaddy in the world!


Park fun!


Konrad eating his "Superman" ice cream!


She continues her tradition of snoozing on the beach!


Sweet girl!


My boy!


As you can see, we had a blast. 
It was the most relaxing joyous time I have had in a long time!
I can assure you there were many more pictures!
The blog can only hold so many! :)


My family has always lived so close, so 
it's new for me to only see some of my family every now and then.
We stay in touch for sure, but there is nothing like us all being in place at the same time for a significant amount of time! 
Let me say…meeting my beautiful sweet niece for the first time was the highlight of the week!
Sophia made me an aunt, and I am forever grateful!


I can't wait to see her and her parents again!
I am so excited about the adventures my children will get to take with their cousins! 
It's going to be awesome!


I hope you all have a great weekend! 

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:12

Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths…
Psalm 148:7
