June 2013: Randoms

 

This is one of my all time favorite pictures - she looks so sweet and innocent! She was making father's day cards. Sister friend loves herself some art projects. She is her mama's daughter, afterall!

   

I can't remember exactly why they made me these signs but I think it was becuase I was getting sick and tired of working full time. I know lots of mamas do it, but working full time is such a struggle for our family. I started a new job last April and to orient to the new unit I had to work full time even though my actual job is part-time. It makes is a huge challenge with childcare and my schedule was different every week so we felt all out of whack. I kept these signs up for months and months - just so sweet and special. 

And the rest of our randoms... 

June 2013: Beach Afternoon

 

We had nothing planned one Saturday so we decided to head to the beach. It was gorgeous - the perfect summer afternoon. Edrie entertained herself with the sand and a new friend and we relaxed. I love that we are so close to the ocean again! 

   

 

June 2013: Lindsey's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party

Lindsey is one of my best friends. We've been SUPER close since we met in General Chemistry in college. She's been there for all of my big and little life stuff. And so we were super excited to celebrate her impending wedding.

We did a bridal shower brunch followed by a wine tasting tour in 'vintage' bridesmaid/wedding dresses. We were surely the talk of the town!

June 2013: Giant Salad for Two

 

Everyday for lunch Grant eats a giant salad. He LOVES them. Even on the weekends he wil typically throw one together in a mixing bowl. Sometimes Edrie will chow down too. This day I caught them in the act and I just die looking at these pictures. SO FREAKING CUTE!

  

June 2013: Date Night

 

At some point last spring I was looking for a recent picture of just Grant and I and I couldnt find one anywhere. We used to take pictuers ALL THE TIME (see blog archives pre-Edrie), but now there is someone much cuter to take pictures of. We've been doing better the last year or so at going on regular dates so one night I had G's mom take our picture so we'd a picture that was recent. We're still pretty cute, right??

 

June 2013: Freedom!

This sweet girl likes to have her clothes off. Last summer it was almost a nightly occurrence for her to run free in the backyard. 

 

Why are baby bums so cute??

 

June 2013: Farmer's Market Strawberries

 We spent many a Saturday morning at the Hollywood Farmer's Market. So much great stuff there! This particular morning we decided to get a bunch of strawberries. Someone couldn't wait to try a few.

 

She was the star of the market - random people were taking pictures of her because she was just mowing those strawberries while we pulled her around. So funny! 

 

June 2013: Garden

It was so fun to plant and watch our garden grow last summer. It was our first time using our raised beds and we loved them! Here you can see the beginnings of our carrots, strawberries, and broccoli.

 

June 2013: Tryon Creek Hike

We spent a day with Holly, Everest and friend at Tryon Creek State park and it was SO NICE! Edrie loved it. I'm cracking up that I put her in a skirt to hike? It was more of a walk, anyway.

It was super beautiful and she loved following the big boys around to check out little nooks and crannies. She looks so small in these pictures!!
