Carter's showing you how sleep deprived we've been this summer, but what's summer without a whole lot of time with good friends and family? July was a crazy busy month for us and sorry to say but blogging was not at the top of my priority list. In fact I'm amazed at how well everyone else keeps caught up. On most days I feel lucky just to get a shower. I know I sound just like a Mom with a new baby, I love it. My kids keep me crazy but happy!
Here's a few random pictures from July.

Here's all 8 of the the grand kids on my side.
4 boys 4 girls! They all had a great time playing together
except for JaCoy. She's way too busy texting her
"friend" Michael all the time.
I love teenagers!
Wendi, Nicole and I were just relaxing at the park, solving the mysteries of the world when my brother captured the moment!
There is something magical about sisters!
This is my friend Becki from the college years.
Remember how busy we thought we were back then,
ha if we only had a clue what Motherhood would be like!
Thanks for the visit Becki, it was fabulous to catch up.

We had a lot of support from good friends
and family for Addison's blessing.
Thanks Christian, and Samantha for being a part of the day,
I can't wait for Addison and Lilliana to make messes together!

This is my cousin Hillary and Addy's future nursery pal, Raife.
Watch out I'm certain they're going to be trouble.

Let me put this in perspective. My brother is 6'8''!
Fire works are a big deal every year in my sisters neighborhood.
It's always busy, loud and really smoky!

I heard the fireworks were great!
I was home with my girls, Kennedy had some nasty 4th of July bug,
and Addy needed a good nap. I must admit I enjoyed just relaxing at home,
although Carter said I missed out he said it was "AWESOME!"
He loves anything to do with fire.

Holy Cow!! I can't believe how old JaCoy is. I am so happy I got to spend some time with you. (what is the deal? we look totally tired in this picture, we will have to take a better one next time.)

Remember when you would lay in the hallway in our basement and sing "Love me, Love" at the top of your lungs? Good times. Good times.
