Peter got a new Ceramic Grill for Father's Day and we wanted to start having pizza party nights as soon as we got it home! Since we had family in town we thought it would be a great time to do it. I went to the Trader Joes to get all the ingredients and it was honestly much easier than we expected. Everyone got to make their own pies and Peter figured out the perfect timing to get the crunchy crust and bubbly cheese! It was a lot of fun, and the kids loved it!!! I'm voting for Pizza Party Friday Nite, every week! 

my very yummy pizza with a thick and crunchy crust!

This sweet boy, looks so much like his uncle Peter, and I absolutely love it!

some yummy peas for this boy!!

So yummy and so fun!!! I'm reeeeaaaally looking forward to the fall weather when we can make the pizzas and then enjoy them out on the deck. 

hello summer littles.

one // ice cream parties in the playroom with the AC. My favorite kind of ice cream parties.... no sticky mess or sweat from the heat! 

two // packing up our suitcases from our big summer trip to Florida. It's so fun to pull out the cute outfits I've been saving for vacation!!

three // the way Asher's hair curls around his ears when he's sweaty outside. Poor guy, I feel bad because he will sweat within seconds of being outside, but the curls are so cute. I'm really hoping he will end up with a head full of curls like his big brother.

four // putting the boys to sleep before its officially dark outside is so weird. Also, something that I never thought would happen in our house, so its kind of awesome! It definitely does't happen every night, but its a game changer when it does.

five // iced coffee. Lots, and lots of delicious iced coffee during naptime helps me make it through these long summer days with two sweet boys. YUM! 

Wanna do list // Summer 2016.

Happy 4th!! I thought what better time to share my summer wanna do list?!? A summer holiday always makes me think of the fun things I want to do in the months ahead. It's going to be busy, but I'm looking forward to a lot of fun, and I'm hoping we will make time for a few of these activities!

Happy first day of June. How is that even possible.... it is creepy how fast this year has flown by! I really shouldn't be surprised with how busy we have been, but it still amazes me. This summer is going to be so full and fun, I can't wait!!

Feeling // happy!!!
