Week 25 ~ Catch the Moment

I love summer! It's so much fun to get a taste of what it would be like to be a stay at home mommy. I love getting to spend the extra time with my littles! Our days have been filled with swimming, playing, and lots of snuggles! I need to get better about bringing my camera with me when we leave the house as well. It appears as if we don't ever go anywhere, but I swear we were out of the house everyday this week!

June 18:  This little guy is always smiling! He also eats like his sister, anything and everything in sight!

June 19:  Little miss loves to play with her baby dolls. She is constantly dressing them up, feeding them, and taking them for strolls around the house and neighborhood.

June 20:  I love that our street is so quiet. All the neighborhood kids come over at night to ride their bikes and scooters around.

June 21:  Hunter has discovered the Tupperware cupboard. He takes everything out, I put it back in, and he takes everything back out again. It's a fun little game...

June 22:  He can reach the table now, nothing is safe!

June 23:  Cheese puffs, a new obsession!

June 24:  I walked out of the room for one minute only to return to find this...

Week 24 ~ Catch the Moment

I think I'm all caught up (again)! This week we celebrated Tyler's 8th birthday, finished out our first school year at our new school, celebrated with a weekend of camping, and then I managed to pawn the older two kids off on Grandma for a couple of days! It's going to be a great summer!

June 4:  Our garden is really starting to grow! If you look close, you can see the start of what I believe is a squash.

June 5:  Nothing to crazy going on around here today so I snapped a picture of the view from our back yard.

June 6:  Today was Tyler's 8th birthday! I say this way too often, but time really does fly after having kids! I can't believe my 'baby' is 8! He wanted a Turtles cake to celebrate so that's what he got, sort of?

June 7:  We've been really dry in the Charlotte, NC area for a few weeks now, so tonight's storms were a welcome change. They also brought by an incredibly vibrant rainbow!

June 8:  It'd done! It's finally done! After a year of sewing, taking apart, sewing again, I've finally finished Hunter's quilt! Now, on to the next one.

June 9:  Today was our first time attending our school's bus race! The principals from 8 of our area schools all hop in a decorated bus and knock each other around with the hope of beating out the next guy. They race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and it's a great time! This will definitely be a new tradition for our family!


June 10:  This.smile. That is all.

June 11:  He's finally getting the hang of the sippy cup thing. Now to start the weaning process...

June 12:  The pool is going to get a lot of use this summer, especially since this year Hunter and I can join in on the fun! The vegetables in the background are trying to show just how hot out it is!

June 13:  We are taking an extra long weekend to go camping! We drove down to a KOA in Anderson, SC and the kids had a blast. It was crazy hot out but they enjoyed swimming in the pool and cooking around the fire!

June 14:  Tyler brought his new squirt guns that he got for his birthday. The kids loved squirting anyone that would let them!

June 15:  We're home from our camping adventure! We left the older two with Grandma and Papa in SC for a few days. Hunter is going to enjoy being an only child for the first time since he was a newborn! Is it just me or is this guy starting to look more like a toddler and less like a baby?

June 16:  My little housekeeper.


June 17:  They're baaaack!! It was a short two days, but the monsters are home!

Phew, I think that's all of them! Whether you are a professional photographer or a mom/dad that just really loves to take pictures, you are welcome to join our link up! We love to gather ideas from each other as well as support and encourage one another to meet their goal. Even if you didn't start at the first of the year, you are welcome to hop on board now!

Week 23 ~ Catch the Moment

My first year in my new school and district has come to an end! This year has been such a blessing to myself and my family. I can't express how much I love where I am at this pint in my career. That being said, it's been a busy week of finishing school projects, cleaning, packing and moving my classroom. I'll catch up with my photos in a few days, but for now here is a picture of the beautiful sunset at our annual principals bus race!


Please join us on our link up! We have a wide range of experience within our link up from professional photographer, to mom's obsessed with their children (that one's me), to iPhone users. All are welcome!

Week 22 ~ Catch the Moment

There are just a few more days until we are on Summer Vacation! I can't believe how fast this school year has gone. I guess it does really make a difference when you love where you are working!

May 28:  This little one is getting too big too fast!

May 29:  Little Miss Attitude. I said smile and this is the response I got from her.

May 30:  Speaking of Miss Attitude, here she is turned around backwards during her t-ball game. She refused to look at the batter.

May 31:  Boys will be boys. Hunter had to help Daddy put together his new grill outside.

June 1:  It was a group effort to put the locks on the cabinets today. Hunter is our first (and last) baby to require these.

June 2:  Another day at the pool. Hunter found the stone around the edge of the pool and was having fun throwing it around.

June 3:  Tyler had his first ever baseball playoff game. They lost, but he had a great time playing!
