My boys head back to school NEXT WEEK! So our summer is coming to a close, here's what we've been up to!
hitching a ride on daddy's shoulders during our trip to the mall
sharing a pretzel and lemonade to fuel us for some more shopping!
selfies by Sadler!
proving my point that sometimes I say "yes!"
a reminder that there's little eyes looking up to me
Every library trip ends up including playtime on the computers
5 rounds of tabata to set off 5 s'mores during cottage week, but who's counting ;)
couldn't think of a more fitting shirt to wear to watch Rachel Hollis' documentary "Made For More"
Thanks for the ice cream Grandma and Grandpa!
soccer camp!
rub a dub dub, 3 kids in a tub! This day's entertainment provided by Aldi's bath bomb!
We see deer so often, but I still always snap a pic, it just never gets old!
trampoline + sprinkler + pool = a pretty great day!
this had me yelling "PIVOT" in my head thanks to the infamous Friends episode!
never enough underdogs for this trio!
SHINE roomie reunion before FAB!
my berry cute blueberry pickers!
celebrating 17 years of dating with dinner in Saugatuck
food is the way to my heart!
my handsome date!
perfect day at the lake with the Meiste crew!
playing "chiropractor"
Putting their math skills to work buying donuts and fresh produce at one of my favorite summer spots!
Haven't done this in YEARS! Definitely felt that the next day!
Daddy's still got it!
Sadler kneeboarding!

First ice cream truck experience for these country kids!
celebrating Bennett's 1st birthday!
Scoring some goals during a family gathering on my grandparents’ old farm!
Days like these are good for the soul!
when you and your bestie show up at the pool with the exact same lunch container for our salads, a recycled deli meat container! ha!
one perk of needing lots of meds is not having to buy cotton balls, ever! They always stuff the bottles full when they're mailed!
SO good!
never a dull moment here on Nature View Lane!
dead hawk!
When you have a kiddo who needs to gain some weight you fill up on donuts BEFORE their checkups!
it was as big as his head!
Being their mom is my greatest privilege and also my biggest challenge! These brothers each require a completely unique parenting style for their unique sets of genes, and vastly different personalities. They bring my heart so much joy, and my head so much grey hair!
In addition to their obvious contrasts, those differences were confirmed yet again today at their check-ups when one son proceeds to epically armpit fart just as the doc walks in the room, while the other chews nervously on his fingernails while pacing the room!
Oddly enough, they BOTH grew 2.5" and gained 7 pounds in the last year!
seeing a pic of you working out taken by your toddler is always a humbling experience! ha!
cousin sleepover!
Taking advantage of time alone with a hike thru the trails at Cottonwood Park, one of our favorite things to do lately!
walk on the pier!
date night wouldn't be complete without ice cream!
being home alone in the morning has officially made me ready for back to school!
giggly girls!
another great day on the lake with friends!
