July wrap up and Tom's birthday!

 Life has been so busy lately!  So this may be all over the place but I want to get caught up!

Spanish Fork spring softball ended a couple weeks ago.  We finished in 2nd place! (We would've finished in 1st but half our team was missing for the championship!  And I ended up having to pitch...yikes!)  I love playing with these ladies.  And can't wait until next year!

I love this picture!  Tom took the girls out for ice cream the night I received all my LuLaRoe inventory to get them out of my hair!

After a walk I just laughed at how silly they looked the whole time without me noticing!  Hot mess express right there!

Well my new business venture has begun!  I got my initial inventory on July 11th and it has been non-stop since then!  I sell LuLaRoe clothing online and at in-home parties!  It's been an emotional roller coaster that is for sure!  It has been a lot of work but a lot of fun and very rewarding too!
They are thinking, "mom, what have you gotten us into?"

This is after it was all unpacked and organized!  Holy moly!

This was during my Launch Party which was a huge success!!!!

Jade also completed and passed her first level of swimming lessons!!  She was so nervous on the first day but after that she had a blast and loved it!  Everyday for 3 weeks she would ask when swimming lessons was!  She became so brave and loves bobbing in and out of the water!  Way to go Jade!

...and keeping Lainey entertained during swimming lessons was no small feat!

Carter had a fun little birthday party!  They went swimming and it was fish themed.  It was so cute!

Wearing our LuLaRoe to church a couple weeks ago:)

Playing at the park later that night!

We went out to eat with Tom's parents/ John, Misty and Teaghann/ and Kimi, Jon, Ella and Elijah to celebrate Tom and John's birthdays!

The best picture we could get of all the girls!  So cute!

On Tom's birthday we got a babysitter and went on a date to our favorite restaurant- Carabbas!!!

and later that night we had cake with our best gals!  He picked himself out a longboard and spike ball for his birthday!  Happy Birthday Tom!  We all love you sooooooooo much!

Another swimming day at the Bunkers!

On the 21st we went to our first ever Spanish Fork Rodeo!  Unfortunately, our girls had a real hard time.  We were right under the speaker so Lainey was freaking out from the get-go and Jade was beyond exhausted from swimming at the Bunkers, swimming lessons, and then the late night rodeo.... Tom and Lainey left about 9 and Jade and I left about 10:30.  We are so bummed the awesome seats we had from the Jones were not put to good use!  We didn't even see the barrel racing or the bull riding!  Better luck next year I guess!

Random hilarious picture of Lainey looking like an 80's punk

Fiesta Days was going on all week!  We finally made it to the Carnival Saturday night and had so much fun with the Jone's!

Lainey was terrified of the Ferris Wheel haha

It may have cost us a small fortune but we had fun!

A crazy tragedy happened in our family later that night.  Tracie, who was with John for almost 4 years and during that time had our beautiful little niece Teaghann, was killed in a car accident.  It is so so sad.  She left behind 4 young kids.  Thankfully, all 3 dad's are on good terms and will try to get the kids together when possible.  It absolutely breaks our hearts though knowing that those kids not only no longer have their mother...but also no longer have each other in the same house any more.  It has really rocked me just how fragile life is and the effects of 1 person to so many around.  There was a small balloon release service but they wanted to keep it to just family.  Our thoughts and prayers are daily with those kids.

One of my best friends from high school who now lives in Maine stopped by for a visit!  It was so good to see Karilynne and her cute girls!  Our girls are right in between each other!

On Saturday night we had an impromptu dinner with Michelle and Larry, Kimi and Jon, and Sadie and Brock were in town!  It was so fun to all get together!  and we all showed up wearing our LuLaRoe!  And the Sizzler guy totally photobombed us haha

The girls look a little homeless because I met up with everyone right after I was done at the Salon!  Tom, bless your heart, you definitely do your best with getting the girls ready!  And luckily they are so cute, it's fine;)

Summer nights in the backyard...

Tom secretly snapped this cute pic:)
