Summer Fun is Underway....4 weeks home today...

We've been having a great time since school let out...I LOVE when my kids AREN'T in school...I "SO GET" you home schoolin mommas that have your kids around ALL THE TIME!! I'm not quite ready to pull mine out of public school yet...but I DO LOVE havin them around for the summer!!! We attended the local farmer's market Saturday morning where we DIDN'T buy any vegetables...instead my kids picked out matching tie dyed tshirts to wear to an annual family party we were attending that night:
Yes, i took the pic at the end of the night....should have done it at the beginning....everyone was exhausted and falling apart on me......but CUTIES none the less :)
Then Sunday night was the first Free Concert in the Park that we LOVE to attend each Sunday in June.....
We all look forward to these Sunday night concerts...My kids run with their friends, dance a lot and we eat a picnic dinner there...fun, fun, fun....(above).my oldest girls...7 and 9...(below)..my oldest son: 6yrs. old...
Below..my 2 year old Ethiopian Princess....
Below my adorable 4 year old...

My silly boys:
My 1 year old Ethiopian Prince....Oh, he hurts my heart he's so cute:

I call this pic below: ONE BUSY DAD!!!!!!
And, the night ended with Daddy dancing with his Baby Girl....So sweet.....


And, I had a cute video on my Iphone of Wes dancing....but I can't get it on youtube for some reason...Oh, well...If you are friends with me on facebook you can see it!! :)

***Today marks 4 weeks BEING HOME with Wes!! Praise the Lord!! He's seriously the sweetest, most lovable little dude EVER!!! So so happy to have him home!! Hope you guys are having a GREAT start to your summer...Happy Wednesday to you all, kj

  2. So excited for your family! You should totally consider home schooling - I can just tell from how much fun you have with your kids that you would LOVE it! We are graduating our oldest next year and we still have a one year old - BEST decision we have EVER made - hands down! (except accepting Jesus, of course!) ;)

  7. My family loves summer, too. Although, we do homeschool, it is so great to not have a schedule to go by. Happy summer with your 6 kiddos!! Enjoy.
