Busy, sunburned, happy, giddy

The combination of my brains recently turning to mush and the amazing 80+ degree sunny weather we've been having lately have been the perfect recipe for zero blogging.

But we're still here! 

We're happy and busy and having lots of fun doing this:

Oh, and one more thing:

Keeping up with all this summer-weather activity has been a little difficult for me the last few weeks and my poor children would sure like to see their mama pick up the pace a little.  (In Kenadie's words, "Mom, can you just STOP throwing up?  I don't want to see it anymore!  Let's just go have fun, PLEASE??") 

Between all the busy-ness, sunshine, fresh air, sunburns, and even through my really sick days, life has been pretty awesome over here! :)
