I can't believe I have not posted in over a week! We are really enjoying Summer and so thankful Jeremy put up the pool again! It is hot, hot, hot in Texas and the pool is great, great, great!
Here is a list of my top ten Summer favorites! Please share your favorites!
10. Sun tan lines on my babies! Two out of three are so dark like Daddy. The baby is like Mommy. As a friend of mine would say, we don't tan. We rust! :) Josiah, Ava Beth and Daddy are blessed with Olive skin and me and baby Zeke are white!
9. Tank tops! I do have an addiction to tank tops. Thankfully WalMart has really cute, cheap ones! I have a plethora of tanks from cheap places like WalMart, Target and Old Navy and I love cheap shopping!
8. Bath & Body Works yearly sale in June! Wall Flowers, Lotions and soaps OH MY!
7. Burning hot training runs! I am not sure why I love training in the heat but I do. I think I feel like I am working harder when I am drenched in sweat. I'm a Texan, the heat is my life!
6. Fruit! I love to stock up each week on strawberries, blackberries, cantaloupe and watermelon. I wash it, cut it all up and store it in Tupperware so we can pull it out on a hot
day!
5. Swimming! When I was a kid I could have lived in the pool or lake. Seeing my kids love the water brings back great memories. Plus a day in the pool makes the kids go to bed early and sleep in! :) Wears them out!
4. Family time! Something about the Summer makes our family of five come together and have a lot of laughs. We swim in the backyard, grill and somehow I convince Jeremy to stay up later even on the week nights.
3. Friends! I love my friends and my kids love my friends and my friend's kids! The play dates, Taco Bueno lunches and sleep overs are so much fun! This Friday night my friend Kim is coming with her two kids (her husband is out of town) to spend the night. Our kids LOVE each other so we will let them exhaust themselves in the pool and then stay up late talking over a nice glass of wine after they fall asleep. I went to high school with Kimmy and Scotty (her husband) so we have a blast!
2. Wipe Out! This is Josiah's favorite show and every Wednesday night is family night for us to enjoy this show together. The kids giggle the entire show! Josiah said this morning when he woke up "Mommy, tonight is WIPE OUT night!"
1. Simple Pleasures! Wet bathing suits drying out, sun tans, the smell of sun screen, capri suns, Popsicles afternoon naps, sleeping in, grilling and visits to grandparents. Summer is a wonderful time to savor!

Happy Summer Days!!! Love 'em! :)
your babies are beautiful...
I'm with you- love, love, love summer!
Tan lines, wet towels draped everywhere, the pool bag filled with snacks and magazines, lazy mornings and late nights... oh I am so excited that tomorrow is the last day of school! Woohoo!
(And I loved the pictures of Ava Beth's recital- such a beautiful little thing, and family!)
I love summer too! I wish we had a Back yard pool - we have the community one down the street!
I may have to plan an outlet shopping trip and come visit you - LOL ;o))
Have a great day!
