Well my beautiful girl you are heading into a whole new chapter in your life and I know, as usual, you are going to shine. I remember the very day that I started 6th grade just like it was yesterday. It's so hard for me to believe that now you are heading into this part of your life. You are such an amazing young lady and I look so forward to watching you grow and become even more beautiful. Keep true to yourself, always be a good friend, stand up for those that can't stand up for themselves and NEVER be afraid to dream big!!

So long July

July 2011, gone! Can you believe it?? We've been very busy and had a lot of changes going on around here. These are some mobile pictures of our July.



The girls have been fishing several times with their daddy but this trip turned out very productive.

We've spent a lot of time in the pool. This night in particular was a Friday after we had a crazy week. Getting in the pool after dinner is something these girls of mine LOVE to do.

And we've done a whole lot of this... sitting outside by the fire. And of course there is always some s'mores involved in this scene.

A beach trip every summer is a must but this one was very different that ever before. NO KIDS!

Very strange for this momma but it was a good trip. 4 days sitting on the beach all day long was just what we needed and we took complete advantage of it.

Our dinner view one evening.

Sun rise our first day at the beach.

Heading out to dinner.

Took a ride to see this amazing house that W.B. has been working on all summer. It was beautiful and his work was incredible!! This is the indoor lap pool. W.B. installed all of that tile.

A view of the house in the distance. 13,000 sq feet of an amazing home.

My girls went away for 2 weeks!! 2 weeks with their family having a great time. This picture was the day before they left me :(

And we now have a new member of the family. Meet Sir Rockefeller Blaine aka Rocket. Our new fur baby has been a member of the family for a little over 5 weeks now and he is just precious. We have become so attached so quickly. I'm pretty sure he likes us :)

Fresh cut hydrangeas always make summer better! I love walking outside and cutting these beauties and bringing them inside to enjoy. I'll miss them in just a month or so when summer comes to an end :(

So long July 2011. You've been a hot, interesting, fun and crazy month.
