Monthly Photo Project – July

I’m kind of sad that this is the last post for the monthly photo challenge I did as a part of my Bucket List for last year. It’s been fun to make myself really focus on getting photos of the girls each month to see how they’ve grown and remember some of the day-to-day moments.

July’s photos were pretty appropriate considering how dang hot it was!! A little bit of pool-time-fun for the win!

Clearly Pumpkin was enjoying pool time with her sister!

Little Pumpkin does this all the time with her hands, and I love that I caught her doing it!

They aren’t exactly playing together just yet, but it’s pretty cute to watch Peanut hand off toys to Pumpkin! I also love watching how serious she is when making her “soup” – love that she has an active imagination! I hope she’s able to hold on to that and develop it into creativity as she grows up.

Y’all, messy, wet hair is such a picture of summertime for me. After all my years spent with summer days full of the pool, it’s so much fun to watch my girls start their own summertime memories – complete with crazy pool hair!

Monthly Photo Project – June

With our move to Houston coming up quick, we’ve been stock piling boxes for whenever the oh-s0-fun packing process begins. So for June, I thought it would be fun to put the girls in one of the boxes so that this month’s photos are really a reminder of the time of our lives we’re in. The not perfect, uncertainty looming, boxes piling, excitement growing time we’re in as a family.

Peanut decided to have her own little dance party & Pumpkin’s reaction was too cute. So fun seeing her watch her big sister.

Another plus of using the box? Not having to scramble around to chase the girls – especially Pumpkin!

Peanut is almost always soooo sweet with her sister. She’s constantly wanting to hug & kiss her or make sure she’s ok.

And while there’s lots of sweetness, Pumpkin doesn’t always have a lot of patience for being loved on! (This bottom right photo cracks. me. up.)

I love these sweet, happy girls!!! Can’t believe the year of the monthly photo challenge is almost over, and we’ve gone from a toddler & a bump to a big girl & a standing/walking baby girl! I love you both to the moon & back!
