friday.

i am ready for the weekend, only i wish it were not already friday, july 27th! i heard an advertisement on the radio last week about school supplies, and i registered Andrew for
pre-K this week. am i the only momma in denial that summer is flying by way too fast?!? i want more time!!!!! more time to play with my kiddos, more time when all of our family is in the same place at the same time and more time
to get projects done!

Have a GREAT Weekend!

my birthday...

My birthday was packed with goodness.
To celebrate, my amazing family took me to dinner
@ Oumami Japanese Restaurant and the sushi was
delicious - i recommend the Russellville Roll

i love that Andrew is old enough to go out to dinner
with us and actually enjoy it! My little cuddle bug is growing up into such a BIG boy! He was telling jokes and seriously cracking us all up. He definitely is the life of the party!

 In the middle of dinner, i looked at my beautiful daughter,

vivacious son and handsome husband and just smiled.
I don’t know why but for whatever reason GOD blessed with this incredible family full of love & I am extremely grateful!

XOXO

    

burn ban...

Slightly bummed – this is the first year ever with

 no fireworks on the 4th! I checked the forcast and it looks like the high is 103 the rest of the week.

I think we all need to go outside & do a rain dance

As you know from HERE I love fireworks just as much as my kids do. I could go broke making trips to the fireworks stand and this year... I haven't been once!

Praying GOD sends us rain soon -  I know the local farmers  as well as everyone else could really use some.

We are still having our 4th of July Party this weekend!

I am trying to decide what to bring - maybe one of these  yummy treats!

 oh my stars

 snowcone paper filled with berries

frozen grapes

super duper delicious trifle.

 {white chocolate pudding. yummmm}

recipe

banana boats - my kids love putting together their own

mix and throwing them on the grill.

Hope you all have a Safe & Happy 4th!
