The big girls LOVE watching YouTube tutorials on all different things.  The other day Noelle explained in perfect detail with really specific ingredients how to make oreo balls, and we are excited to try them!  For today, the tutorial was the “Top Knot!”  I think it’s so cute when I see one, but I just felt silly wearing one!  Fun, but not my style!  Too much weight on the top of my head!  The girls, however, loved them, and had fun wearing their top knots all over town for a little back to school shopping!  We were giddy to sport our new hair style and having fun!

Awesome back to school luau, girlfriends!

Carson, Ava and Noelle enjoying some fun in the sun before back to school!

Beautiful décor and food, Amy!  You amaze me!  XOXO

Noelle loves Ava’s “lion” dog, Basil!

Fun friends!

What a fun way to start wrapping up the summer!!!

Caught.  Again.  Waiting for punishment. 

Outfit/make-up designed by Noelle for our summer “Nerd Day!”  Of course, pictures of all of that fun to follow!

This is a picture of my little mommies running errands with me one day when Rose was in Jacksonville.  We got a lot done during those three days!

Poppa and Rara came to town for mission: Rescue Rose (lol), more like Recover Mommy and Daddy, and we got to have fun hanging out with them at their hotel the night before they took her to Camp P&R!  Here the girls are with their super cute suits from Ella Bella!

One of the nights Rose was at Camp P&R, we went to a fun Lego event for family fun night at our favorite CFA!

After Anna Kate enjoyed two of the Lego activities, she played in the play land while Mike and Noelle built a robotic motorized airplane!  It was really cool, and Noelle was really proud of herself because, well, we aren’t into Lego around here, but we should be, because they are fun!

You know when the cat’s away, the alligators’ will play!  We had the most relaxing afternoons swimming just us big girls this week!  Ah!

Everyone is home now from Camp P&R!  It was a successful time of swimming, nature walks, country living, more swimming, church-going, reading, playing with Jax and enjoying fresh food!  Noelle and Anna Kate went in July, and Rose just got back this week from her little turn at camp, which she knew was coming, let me tell you!  That baby woke up and had Jackson-Bille on her mind the day she left for Camp P&R!  So thankful for the time my parents have given our girls, and the break they’ve given us to catch our breaths.

Raising up sweet Mommies over here!!!
