aren't they just so adorable??

a very special girls' night out!

Our very good friends from South Africa came to visit. They are like family to us, and I enjoyed every moment with them. They are the main reason why we decided to move to Tyler, Texas. We missed you Elma, and wish you could be here as well!!

a dream come true

since McCade was little he absolutely loved any kind of truck (one of his first words) or construction vehichle. He knows all the different kinds and the specific names for it. So when Pops had a bulldozer in his yard it was the coolest thing ever. He was so excited to get to ride it, so proud! As a mommy I think I was even more excited... it was such an amazing feeling to know one of my son's dreams was coming true. I thank God for it, I know He planned it :)

Nonnie and Pops' garden

The boys love looking for and picking the (organic!)vegetables. Just wish they would love eating it too!

love this pic!

I love the way McCade is protecting his brother with his arms and Dylan resting his head on McCade's shoulder, so sweet. :)

i love popsicles!

It is amazing what popsicles do to my boys' mood. If they are cranky I give them each one, and they are happy as can be.

Summer is here!

We have been enjoying summer so much! Swimming, hanging out with friends, riding on boats and jet skis, eating popsicles, ice cream, grilling, swimming, and swimming! Just so much fun! Dylan especially love going out on the boat, he is every time so close to falling asleep, but of course fights it. McCade is becoming like a little fish in the water, finally that swimming lessons is paying off. Here we are, back from a day on the lake, sitting in our driveway eating ice cream :)
