june montage

{all pictures are compliments of my phone}

the busyness of summer has officially set in. along with the busyness has come moments of rest and refreshment. perspective in a fast paced home is exactly what i needed this past week at camp. 

before i get to camp, we have had quite a few other things going on. if only i had a little longer i could write about the camp gigi. let's just say it started late and ended way early. not that we didn't have fun while we were there, but a stomach bug happened to hit nearly everyone excluding my family. how the four of us escaped that while living in the same house with the others is beyond me. but i am sure thankful. 

we did enjoy the moments together. and steph, lori, and i got to slip away for a night out together that was just perfect.

{zoo trip!}

{we were the first ones in the bird exhibit and apparently they were hungry :) maddie did awesome!}

{sweet afternoon time together}

{this is one for the books. makes me laugh every time}

{i mean seriously. can you get any more awesome?} 

upon tearing out of the house of the sickly and returning home in hopes that no one would up chuck in the car on the way home, the boys and i had a few adventures of our own. unfortunately they were all on our own. we didn't want to infect anyone in case we were going to come down with something ourselves. 

there was lots of playground time and such to keep us busy.

{brother love}

{pool time for them equals a little magazine reading time in the sunshine for me.}

{will is the snack hoarder and decided when and who to pass them out to at his own discretion}

{i even braved taking the three out for a surprise lunch one afternoon all alone. this was no joke i assure you. thankfully grey is a super helper. he went in all alone to ask for more napkins and a knife all by his big self.}

{a little graham slam for an afternoon snack}

we've been working on a few new skills with tuck and he can now proudly hold a marker (or other writing utensil) properly! this is very exciting for me. he has never once shown any amount of interest until the other day. woop woop for the tuck bomb.

{sweet daddy time}

{father's day prep}

{fathers day yogurt treat}

{poolside with friends!}

with an overload of pictures at this point, i will settle in here. i will get to camp soon!
