June & July

John’s first full summer was a fun one despite still being in the throes of a worldwide pandemic. We didn’t let it stop us from living and making memories, we took necessary precautions and proceeded. It was a sweet season for us!

We waited for Jack’s first birthday before we gave him a haircut and regretted it because he really started to look like a girl! We skipped tradition for John and cut it when we felt he needed it. This boy is sweet as sugar.

We literally laughed throughout the haircut. What baby does that?! What a ham.

His brother definitely did not laugh ha! 


Model baby striking a pose with his new ‘do. We love Barbie, she really is the best barber in all the land. All my boys love her. Jack actually invited her on vacation with us at this visit!

All three of my babies at their first haircut. One content, one mad and one happy-I love how different they all are!


Cousin Wick and big John. He has a lot of big siblings and cousins looking out for him.


This was the appointment we had at Dr. Cohron’s office as soon as we got back from the beach. Trying on glasses was a little tricky. We ordered a pair so it was a few weeks before they were delivered. Everyone loves Jack at Dr. Todd’s office.


Georgia competed in her first pageant and she did amazing! She was so nervous and was the smallest in her group but she was so confident on stage and did everything just perfectly.


We waited until she expressed interest in pageants before we participated, they are not the most enjoyable and stressless event for parents. We had to talk daddy into even letting it happen :) 


The judges were wrong (of course every mom besides one thought that, that’s just part of pageants :)) but she handled it great and it was a great experience for her. She had fun and gained confidence in herself! 

We had a pretty 4th of July this year and hit the pool! 

Jack is our entrepreneur. He started a phase where he put a price tag on everything, including the mustard at our family cookout. 


Our princess looking sun kissed and all-American!


A day at the pool is a day well spent

We went to Ma and Pa’s for supper and to watch the fireworks on the night of the Fourth. Owen got to make the outing!


Marcus took this of me and my biggest baby. I am his favorite person.

Sweet boy watching our home fireworks 


Get out the fireworks and attract all the men of the family 


Our beautiful hydrangea this year, I wish I could take credit for this but she does it all on her own!


Both boys loved sleeping in sleep sacks. We used this one until the zipper busted. 


I think this one was written for me


Lucky brother with the best big sister 


“Georgia’s pies” are her new favorite thing to make. We’ve mastered the triple berry pie. It’s officially made it into our family recipe book. Once a recipe earns a page in our recipe book, it is the highest honor. 


Absolutely delicious! She did most of the lattice work herself.


Big baby in a little car seat :)


We dog sat our doggy niece Zara Jane, let’s just say her and Owen had the best week of their lives HA! We love her.


I didn’t think he could get any cuter, but I was wrong. His first pair of glasses. I love them on him. He has accepted them well and he enjoys the benefit of them, so he wears them well. We’re hopeful he will outgrow this but if not, he’s going to break some hearts in these.


My “J” boys were able to share a lot of clothes this summer when their sizes and seasons worked out as we outgrew the newborn days. This sun suit  is a favorite!

It’s not summer until you’ve had Sno Shack…once a day…not really but these two would be all for it!
