Not only is this my birth month, but it also my two sisters, my sis-in-law, my mother-in-law, a few aunts and cousins, and two of my sons! It is officially birthday crazy town here! We kicked off this packed month with a fun 4th of July party in our backyard, where we always have a great view of the local fireworks. Such a fun perk to living up on a hill!

Our kids never drink soda, so Gabe thought he was ridiculously cool with his bottle of Coke.

If you follow me on instagram, you know I was repainting the living room. I am SO loving the color. And my house was clean, so a pic was in order. ;)

The night ended with girls singing around the piano.

We had dear friends spend the night from out of town, and woke up to them making us mango mint french toast! Win!

For Adin’s birthday we went out on a date, just the two of us. We got treats, went to Smashburger, shopping at Target, and later we went go-carting.

Since we ate so much junk throughout the day we decided on a lasagna cake that night.  :) And no he’s not two. He’s eleven. Get it?

We ALSO went on a double date with my parents to a fantastic Red’s game, and then had another birthday dinner with Adin’s Grandma last night. First week of July, you were jam-packed, but awesome!

I’ve worked up the nerve to get back on here and do a post. I’ve been wanting to for weeks, but I just couldn’t figure out the right way to jump back in, which is kind of dumb. So here I am.

I have a ridiculous amount to share, from thoughts, to fresh work. Count this iphone pic as my reintroduction to the blogging world. See you soon…..
