solar eclipse and daddy's birthday || my best friends are gone (but i had so much fun!)

We witnessed the solar eclipse!! It was so neat!!! I really wanted to get some eclipse glasses, but they were all sold out by the time we actually were going to buy them, so Daddy made an old time eclipse box, that actually worked very well!! It was neat!

 

We celebrated Daddy's birthday!! He requested pork chops, mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner!!! We also surprised and made him hot wing dip and chocolate chip pound cake!!! It was all delicious!!

My BEST friends came and stayed from Tuesday to Saturday with us! I had such a good time. The worst thing about their visit was that it didn't last long enough. It flew by. But I am so happy that they got to come stay with us!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went to a bookstore on Friday!!! They had a deal where you filled a bag of books as full as you can for $7.00!! I got 30 some books for $7.00!!! I was SO EXCITED!!!!
We rode on the gulf cart for hours (which was so much fun!!!) while we listened to music and talked!!

I am so blessed to have friends like Abigail, Joe, Stin, and Anna!!! They are so much fun to be around. I feel like we're like family (I actually feel closer to them than some of my real family! lol!)! We have fun being crazy together (we certainly did some crazy things this past time) and I love it that we're making wonderful memories together!! :)
Can't wait til next time!!! :D

 

what have you been doing lately? did you watch the solar eclipse? when do you start school? what grade will you be in? 

my 4th of july || hot weather + learning the bass

I had the best 4th of July EVER!!!! :D
Some very close friends of ours came and celebrated with us!
Here is just a sneak peek into our fun days together!






I had such a wonderful time with my family & friends!!!



Please be praying for Jason, Katy, and the girls as they have moved out west. They left last week. They are quite a ways away from us now and I miss them a lot, but please keep them in your prayers as they search for a house and for Jason's new job at Chik-Fil-A.

It has been really hot here the past few days. We had a heat advisory and the heat index was 105 degrees. I've been getting the garden watering done in the morning when its cooler and spending my afternoons inside the nice, cool, air conditioned house reading books and playing piano.

Since Jason's not at church anymore, we don't have anybody to play the upright bass. So I have decided that I will learn it. On Wednesday I practiced a little and I can already play "Jesus Loves Me" and "It Is Well." I'm having a lot of fun with it though, and I cant wait till I get better!!!!
