Lately… July 2015

I’m realizing that we’re more than halfway through July and halfway through the year! Crazy! These days I find myself wishing time would slow down so that I can take in more of these moments. Moments with my babies and moments with my family. Moments that make my heart pitter-patter and make my eyes smile!

July has been good to us. Can you believe it’s almost August?? (aka birth month!!! oh hey 29!!)  It’s been hot but we’re embracing the heat and all the goodness that summer brings.   Here are a few pictures that have been hiding in my camera from the past few weeks.
Fourth of July is always a fun time for us.  Ale proposed on the fourth SIX YEARS AGO!!!  We were babies back then but we were happy. Every time fireworks go off I get butterflies and pretend one of them was dedicated just to us (the weeping willow one because they’re the prettiest) I never let Grace go in bounce houses.  Personally, I think they’re gross and give you ringworm. However Grace was really excited about going in this one with papa so I held my breath. It lasted all but 10 seconds… she hated it (YES!!) and we snuck her right out.
^^I promise the sparkler was on while the picture was being taken… or at least I thought it was. I may have been too excited to care^^

^^our village^^

These boys have my heart!  Haddon learned how to pull his toes to his mouth and although it’s not an admirable skill, it certainly keeps him occupied long enough for me to get something done.
Tia coco is always the cutest with our little ones.  She’s so playful and CALM when we’re all like… “the kids.. the food… who’s crying? when’s nap time?” Also, this little boy split his eyebrow open and sweet tia coco came to his rescue! xoxo to her!

And now for a testosterone break…

These people just make my heart so full!
We also went bowling. I know we’re wild! It was fun passing the kids along while we all took our turns at the lane. I think Sam and Coco were the best bowlers of the night… or was it uncle Jorge? I don’t remember. I should have taken a picture of the score board… I didn’t really bother to look at it since I’m always at the bottom.
These kids… I think Sam’s doing the waddle baby waddle while sipping on some coffee and holding a child.  She’s very skilled.
This was probably my favorite moment of the night.  Grace loved bowling! I am such a bad bowler (have I mentioned that I stink? jk) I though it wouldn’t hurt to let her get a few turns in. She blew me out of the water! 

Lastly, don’t be fooled my amazing follow-through. If you look closely the ball is headed straight for the gutter!
