Insta Friday

Hello friends.
Hello Insta Friday.

 

Having a garden is one of my most favorite parts of summer.

Every year I forget how small the plants in the garden start out.

By the end of the summer, you won't even be able to see the soil.

It's about one of the coolest things.   

Such cute fellas.

I love that Starbucks sends me a birthday gift every year.

It's the happiest kind of mail.

I may have gone a little crazy planning activities for the family reunion.

Reading with cousins.

Nature hikes.

Crafts.

Boat Rides.

Decorating bags.

Catching fire flies.

Flashlight tag.

Bubbles.

Smores.

Coloring.

Matching sunglasses.

It's going to rock.

I can't freakin' wait!

Last weekend we celebrated Nana's birthday at our house.

Shrimp, chips and salsa, wine, sweet potatoes, rotisserie chickens, cornbread casserole,  

bananas calypso flambeed with homemade ice cream.

Happy people just hanging out.

Stress relief lotion, fruity soap, and pictures of the hellians as gifts.

It was fun.

Tried a little twist in my pony tail this week.

Simple, but kinda fun.

Made some homemade lemonade this week to go with dinner.

So fun and refreshing.

We had friends over for smoked pulled pork and just hanging out in the back yard.

So fun.

We love hanging out with them.

Seriously, if you don't own a rose bush...go get one.

Talk about happiness every day.

Love me some fruity summer foaming soap.

I know.  

I can make it for way cheaper, 

but sometimes it's just fun to buy the real thing.

I mean, starwaberry basil, come on!  Who could resist that?!  

Not me.

I may have said this before, but I love Sonic.

4 cherries!  Now that's a good day.

(I may have already indulged in one by the time I took this pic.)

Greatest purchase ever.  

3 for $15 at Costco.

Who knew drinking water could be this fun?!
