A Little Recap With Some Photos!

 So July has proven to be EXTREMELY busy, jam packed full of fun moments with my little family and our friends.

So here we go!! I hope I don't bore you too much but I just have to capture the last couple weeks.

July 4th Weekend :)

First we had a cookout with our wonderful and dear friends Kate and Ryan, Ryan is a best friend from college and Kate is a dear friend I made through work, I am so happy that I met Kate because now she is making one of my best friends the happiest man on earth by being his wife and we cannot wait for the big day. So we just cooked out at their cute little house and had a fun backyard fireworks show. These 2 truly love my kid and that makes me love them even more, I am so thankful to have them in my life!

Don't mind the foggy look, we were having fun with a backyard fireworks show

The wonderful hosts for the evening cookout, with their flower girl!!




Here is Lydia bug in her festive 4th of July outfit :)

This is the new "cheese face"
Trying on mommy's new shoes, uh oh she likes them!


First time @ Ritters for Ice Cream :) I spent so much time here with friends in high school, it's so funny to come back with my little family. 

yummmm

Her first time to the horse track since she was about 3 months old!
She even got to pet one of the horses that worked at the track, I tell you the girl has no fear, her hand was almost up the his nose and she laughed and wanted more! Think it might be time for mommy to take up riding again so she can continue her love for these big animals.

Look at that smile, she loved it!




FLASHBACK:   Her last time at the horse track @ almost 3 months old.

Waiting for the winner with daddy

taking a break, all that walking and cheering on the horses wore her out! 

That gets you caught up through this last Friday. Remember... that post I did about a friend of ours that was having their annual party and had asked if they could raise funds for our adoption at that party this year? Well that party took place this past Saturday (Woodstock theme, music, bounce house, lake activities, game show and so much more!!)  We are so incredibly blessed to have this family in our lives and I cannot wait to share more about this party.  BUT it is a post all its own so we are stopping here with the recap. I hope you stuck it out  and enjoyed what has been our fun-filled July so far!

Lydia is adorable!! I love her name too! Not just because that's actually my first name too. I go by my middle name. :) I am looking forward to reading how your adoption fund is coming along! Will say a prayer for you and your precious family. You have a beautiful heart.

Dear God,
I thank you for this beautiful family. God, I ask that you would bless them abundantly through this time. Fill their heart with hope and peace. Surround them with all the support they need from each other, family and their friends. Wrap them in your arms and remind them that You are there and in control through every decision and every outcome.
Lord I thank you for this family again and for the giving and pure hearts you have blessed them with.
In Your Name I pray, Amen.
