John Deere and Last Day of School

Love how well these two get along

I got these t-shirts for the boys at the beginning of the summer, and they completely wore them out! Every morning they'd wake up and ask for their tractor t-shirts!

Trip to the market to get strawberries - then we made oodles of jam -The best jam this side of the southern border!

Beach days are definitely the highlight of our summer days! I wanted to take the boys once before the girls got out of school! We all had a great time!

They spent hours collecting water and dumping it into the holes they had dug in the sand!

A few times I thought they were going to fall asleep like this - they loved being buried in the sand!

And hip-hip horray! The last day of school finally arrived! We made cupcakes for our classmates and took each of our teachers maple syrup that the girls had made with their dad!

To be honest we were all super excited that summer was here - that meant we could do lots of day trips and trips to the dollar store and Wendy's for their $1 frosty's!

May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places! I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...
