Sweet summer time.

I've never liked summer.

In fact, all of my life it has been my least favorite season.

I had to pick up my sister's jaw of the ground a couple weeks ago when I told her that I was actually really enjoying it this year. Being outside, soaking up the sun, watching my boys play, water and spray parks, backyard swimming pools, walks in the morning & evening, frozen popsicles after a hot day... love love love!

Kansas rang in the first day of summer with the most amazing weather... low 70's and just a slight breeze. That evening was the perfect opportunity to take Cohen on his first wagon ride with his brother, since he's a big boy now and all. This is another one of those picture-perfect-moments I had really been looking forward to ever since we got this wagon from Nana for Christmas, and I am so glad it lived up to my high expectations. Unfortunately I forgot my actual camera, so iPhone pictures will have to do.




Reminds me of that song... "these are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive..."

This is yet another thing that has changed me since being a Mom. Seeing my boys happy and having fun outside makes me happy as well... I can only imagine it will get more and more fun the older they get and the more memories we make.

"Summer time, and the living is easy..."

  2. Awwww, you know I'm a big fan of the red wagon photos! I love love love summer. It is my favorite season of all. Swimming. Hot dogs on the grill. Fourth of July. Yes, I know there's sweat involved but I just don't like the feeling of being cold or being cooped up :)

    We have got to get the boys together soon! I wonder if there's a park in the middle? Leawood park might be a central place to meet. The boys love that park and it's right off 435.
