There's not much happening around here today, just enjoying a quiet little Monday & cleaning around the house. The girls went with my mother in law to visit family in OKC & Masyn was thrilled! 

She has been asking to visit her cousin Aliyah for weeks. 

If you follow me on IG, this is all old news, but I'm still posting them. :)

These little splash pads are our favorite. 

I picked this one up at the end of the summer for $2 at The Dollar Store.

You can't beat that!

AK wasn't really laying out... it was getting close to nap time & she just couldn't wait any longer. 

10 minutes later...

gorgeous view

Masyn & AK love to look at the toys at Walmart & Target. 

They could spend hours just hanging out. 

Masyn is very into picking out her own clothes, bows, & shoes right now. :)

So far I haven't killed this container yet. fingers crossed it makes it the whole summer.

My flower boxes on the front of the house are doing okay, not fantastic like I'd hoped, but they aren't brown either. One day I'll totally get the hang of all of this. 

AK dressed herself for bed the other night. She found Masyn's shirt...

We aren't making an announcement or anything, but I sure wouldn't mind if AK had a matching shirt just like this one someday....  

My bff bought AK this sweet little dress. 

I was browsing IG the other day & saw her "Who Wore It Better" post. 

{so funny} 

I just love Masyn's profile. 

Love that cute little nose :)

pretty boring random post, but I do love their sweet faces in all of these pics, so I had to post them. again.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best dad in the world. 

We are so thankful for you!

I mean, how many dads would wear make up & a bow so their 3 year old could laugh at their mischievous Christmas elf?

Thank you for showing our girls how they should be treated, respected, & loved.

Watching you be a daddy to our girls makes me love you more & more. 

We are so blessed. 

Happy Father's Day!

Parker {lifestyle/newborn}

Today we went to visit baby Parker & he is perfect.

Megan wanted a lifestyle newborn shoot & that's just right up my ally. 

I love them.

I loved hanging out with Hunter. He just cracks me up! He loves lawn mowers, 4 wheelers, suckers, his family, milk, & his tickle {blanket} Isn't that so cute? He even helped me take a few pictures today. 

He is so much fun. 

I must be in a black & white mood tonight, because everything I did in color... 

Well, I went back & also did a black & white.

So this is just a pre-sneak peek because I have so many more I want to share.

Happy Father's Day Ethan! 

Father's Day Handprint Tree

I have a few things lined out for Father's Day, but Masyn has been asking to make dad a craft. I didn't plan much of a craft, so this is my very last minute DIY Father's Day handprint tree. The girls are going to use green paint to add their handprints to this tree. 

I haven't decided if I am going to print this out & then use the freezer paper method to put it on a shirt or pillow case, modge podge it to a canvas, or just frame it. I might let Masyn decide. 

You can use the image I made on my silhouette for your kids to craft a little something for dad. 

Just save it to your computer & print. :) 

Tulsa Tough

Tulsa Tough pictures coming soon!

{you know, that thing they do in France... but in Tulsa}

Happy {almost} Birthday America!

The 4th of July is approaching & I am so excited. Every holiday is my favorite, but the 4th is really my fave. :) I have a few of my favorite pics to share that I have saved to my computer over the years for ideas & inspiration.

Masyn & I gathered up sticks today so we can make this for our front door sometime this week. 

I also need to change my chalkboards from AK's birthday party.

Love the idea of using scrabble letters to label food at a cookout. 

Masyn & I made these about 2 years ago, & I love to hang them up this time of year. 

This photo is via Martha Stewart & who doesn't need sunscreen?

 Especially on the 4th when you're outside all day? 

I will be doing this for guests all summer long.

cutest ring pops ever

A birthday cake for America?

Complete with sparklers instead of candles?

I think so!

My girls will go nuts for this.... 

Love the little ribbon flags :)

Looks easy enough...

Definitely setting a little craft station up for the girls on the 4th. That way there is something festive for them to do while they cool off. I think I'll have them do this on paper, instead of a shirt, that way I can frame & keep it. for.ev.er. 

{love those sweet little hand prints, sometimes I don't even want to wash my kitchen window because AK has her little hand prints all over the place & I especially love her little kissy prints}

Have you guys gone to the 4th of July parade in Edmond? We went last year, & we may possibly go again this year, but nothing set in stone. I wish we had something like it closer, because I'd deck Masyn's bike out in red, white, & blue sparkly stars so she could ride in the parade.

Of course, water games are the best any day in the summer, but so much more fun on America's birthday. I mean, isn't everything more fun on America's birthday?? 

Kinda' like everything is more fun on Jesus' birthday... I love Jesus & I love America, so I think those 2 days definitely call for a big celebration.

We made these a few days ago & they're a darling.

I need to find envelopes so I can make a few more & mail them to our family.

Nothing says AMERICA like watermelon... star shaped watermelon, that is.

I want to be RIGHT HERE.

This place looks amazing & I love this table. 

breakfast idea...

homemade popsicles...

I need to figure out our plans on the 4th.

 What are your favorite things to do? Traditions? Places to visit? 

I'd love to hear your ideas :)

 I tried the reverse image look up, but it doesn't work for me...?... so I really don't have sources for any of these. They aren't my photos, so if you can help me give credit where it's due, I'll link them back to their sources. 

tulsa zoo

We went to the zoo last Friday & the weather was perfect. 

The Tulsa zoo is really getting better... I used to hate it because everything was old & run down. 

Not anymore. 

I plan on taking the girls back a few more times this summer.

Did you know peacocks can fly? 

I didn't.... I guess I am a little behind because Masyn knew they could fly.

The girls loved the petting zoo. 

AK kept saying, "Brush. Brush."

She loved grooming the goats.

Then new sea lion exhibit is my favorite.

gorgeous.

I picked up these water jugs at walmart for 1.50 each & put each girls name on the front with vinyl.

 I had a picture of all 3 girls holding their jugs, but my card corrupted & I lost most of my pictures from the day, so you'll have to use your imagination. 

They rode the carousel & headed home after checking out all of the animals. 

Masyn was so sleepy & not ready to leave, so we will have to do it again soon.
