July

July was a busy month with work, two beach trips to Myrtle Beach and Destin and lots of fun with friends and family. 
We went to MOD pizza for the first time and all loved it. 

Sawyer and Lincoln are BFFs that are super cute but like trouble. 

We made stress balls to help us with anger. 

My lilies bloomed.

Nando's got a Dole Whip machine so I had to check it out of course ;)

I got a much needed pedicure for the beach trip.

I've taken Sawyer to Sky Zone, but the girls have been dying to go and they finally got to go. I couldn't really get them to stay still long enough for a good picture. 

These places are so expensive and all Sawyer wants to do is play the games in the front 😒

We went to the Columbia mall where I let the Disney store take all my money😂

Brooklyn got her hair cut really short and it looks so cute. 
We had a lot of fun pool days too.

It can be challenging having all the kids home. But when looking back, it is nice to focus and remember all the good things that happened. Things to treasure, moments that shined. 

Baltimore Date Night

Jason and I went on a fun date night with his cousin Brandon and Brandon's wife, Amanda, and with my brother Andrew, and his wife, Makalia. We ate dinner in Little Italy, walked around Baltimore Inner Harbor, took a water taxi around the harbor and then got some cheesecake for dessert. 

We all had a lot of fun. 

Destin Day 7

Day 7 was so much fun. We rented a pontoon boat and went to Crab Island. On the way, we ran into a pod of dolphins. The kids were so excited.

Jason did a great job driving the boat.

We got some floats for the kids, but the island is like a sandbar so the adults could touch the bottom the entire time. 

The island has some floating huts and obstacle courses.

The kids really wanted to do the obstacle course. It was so hard!!! We were slipping and sliding off it the whole time.

We really loved the boat ride and crab island. Sawyer passed out on the boat on the way home.

For dinner we went to a Mexican restaurant at an outdoor shopping mall. They had all these cool murals. 

We ate this delicious dessert. Churros with ice cream! Yum!!

After dinner, my parents watched all the kids so Jake, Norma, Jason and I could go out to the movies. We saw the new Spiderman and really liked it, which was surprising because I can't stand any of the other Spiderman movies.

The next morning Jason, Sawyer and I left to go back home. Laneah and Brooklyn stayed with my parents in Destin and then on to St Louis with them. You have to go over this bridge to leave Destin and we passed over Crab Island. It looked so beautiful! I wish we could have stayed longer!!!

It was such a great trip and so wonderful to see everyone. Until next time Destin!!!
