July iphone pics

July is long gone...summer is pretty much coming to an end too, BOO!  Here is a recap of July from my phone.  It's going WAY.TOO.FAST!
A fire on the road to my work when I was at the gym, which left me stuck there, with no electricity for way longer than I wanted to be.
Ava rockin her stella and dot!  Little doll face.
Mimi lovin
You know, just a little gun show, lol!
I love some of these motivational sayings.
For a few days, Ash was rockin some fancy dresses to Mary's for the day.  I had to snap a pic here to send to Jen since it's a Soso/Ava hand me down.
A little throwback of Gracie and Mya, so much love.
Dentist appt fun.
Cheesin nice and big to show daddy her clean teeth.
Seriously can't even take this.
And one more time for the dentist to 'count' her teeth.
We have totally come a long way from her first visit.
A little picnic to celebrate with Titi.
Always playing in Dewey's garden.
Nona made her grand daughters pillow sack dresses.  She was so excited that they loved them she went out and got another fabric.  Ash picked blue and pink ribbon for her straps.  She looks so excited, lol!
Hanging with Shadow.
A mani done by Ash....
...this hand done by Mya.  Don't mind my old ass looking hands.
Swim lesson excitement!  Mya has graduated to the lap pool!  My little olympic swimmer!!! 
Before she went in the big pool, she practiced back stroke in the regular pool they go in.
 Even Ash is getting comfortable!
 With Harris, her swim instructor.
My girl, rocking her new rainbow loom necklace from my bosses son.

Party at the Dupree's for Mr I's 60th.  These 2 got cozy for some food.

Scoping out the gifts and I just can't take how amazing Mya's hair looks here.  Those natural loose waves kill me.
The Inzano boys playing in the water table.
Love you 2.
How cool is his cake?!
Mya has been DYING to go to IHop.  I know, so lame.  We drove by, one morning, on the way to Mary's house and she yells out, "MOM, we HAVE to go there, I heard they have the best whipped cream!"  She had me dying.  Ry said she said the same thing to her.  So one Sunday morning we decided to surprise them and bring them there.  Mya was beside herself!!!
Ash was pretty excited too.
They decided to switch sides and sit next to eachother.
Love these little faces.
Which meant I got to sit next to this stud.
Playing on the place mats.
Of course, it wouldn't be complete without silly faces.
Lunch by the pool at Titi's.
Gym days never looked so bright!
Mary bought them to the beach one day and Mya was obsessed with these glasses.  She wore them the whole time.  She even wore them at home and at one point dropped them, and was saying, OH NO I CAN'T SEE!  Hysterical! 
Throwback Thursday to Aunt Mary and myself.  Cool perm....
Ash getting her hair flat ironed.
So I got us all these matching shirts from Target, LOL!
My big girl.
Ash didn't want to smile. 
But did want some sissy hugs.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

We celebrated my sista from another mista on her birthday, July 22 (sorry my posts are all over the place!).  We do dinners every other Tuesday, which is awesome.  It's so fun to see the kids play and bond.  Ash and Willie are like 2 peas in a pod.  The opposite gender version of one another.  Mya and Kylie, well they both LOVE food, and could sit for hours eating.  They both are our little chunks who we just want to gobble up.  They always play so well together.  LOVE watching them grow up together, I hope they always enjoy each others company as they do now. 
Here we go!
Fun times, I mean, we did bring bathing suits.  Which they changed into after to get dry!
 Dinner time. 
 Happy birthday to my sista, my bff, my roll dog, my home slice.  LOVE YOU GIRL!
 LOVE this beautiful family. 
 Ash and Willie horsing around, Kylie and Mya examining what they're gonna dig into next, TYPICAL! 
Love you girl.  Love all the precious moments we have shared and looking forward to a whole lot more!  Hope your birthday was just as amazing as you are.  xoxo

Happy Birthday Titi!

One of my favorites, Aunt Mary, celebrated her 30th on July 26th!  We went to Raffertys on the 25th to party with her and Uncle Joe.  It's been too long. 
WHOOOHOOOO!!!!
LOVE you so much. 
On her actual birthday we went over to party! 
Sitting front and center with his honey.
Helping her make her wish....
Happiest birthday to you!  We love and appreciate all that you do for us.  Another year bites the dust, but another one to fill full with memories and laughs.  Love you so so much Aunt Mary, always have, always will!

Beach day with some of my favorites!

I had a day off at the end of July so planned a beach day, of course!  Luckily I have so many stay at home mom friends, so Regan and her crew met us at Asbury for the day.  It was probably one of the best beach days of the year for sure.  The weather was perfect, the water was cool and there was a sandbar.  God was lovin on us for sure! 
We got there and set up shop down by the water.
The kids got right to work.
I dug a little hole for them to play in.  Got a little workout in and the kids loved it.
Silly faces are always accepted.
The Bea girls.
Ash clearly picked out her suit that day.
Playing in the water, FUN!!!
Us mama's watched from our chairs.  Remember the days we could go to the beach and read, or just nap?!
ANNNDDDDD, more silly faces.
LOVE low tide.
With my little curly q.
Mags was there too, which we didn't even know till we were about to leave.  So we stayed a bit longer and they (Mags and Renee) took the girls out into the water.  Love ya girls.
So much fun, I wish summer never had to end....

Balloon festival

So, this is our 4th year going to see the balloons take off at the annual balloon festival.  Always such a beautiful sight to see.  We didn't get tickets to go in this year, and it was actually kind of a last minute decision to go.  We usually hit up the early am take off, happening around 6am.  This year we did the evening launch, for 6pm.  We ran into our old neighbors, who we miss dearly from the drive.  It was so nice to see them and for the kids to get to see this all together.  They sat in the parking lot too and shared their roof with the kids!  FUN! 
These 2!
Checking them all out.
I love that she wanted to wear this flower piece.  She kills me with her beauty.

Off they go!
Ash taking it in.
Just so beautiful.

Silly face Mya while Jack is lovin his cotton candy.
They all look so beautiful as they take off.
HEYYYYYY
The monkey was a new one this year, so cute!
With my big girl. 
LOVE
Mya wanted to take a pic.
So much fun.  I have to remember to buy tickets next year.  It's really cool to see them launch right off the ground.  Love this little tradition.
