note 2 self

Lately, I've been toting my camera around to nearly every event that we attend...one never knows when a random sister hug may occur (not likely anytime soon)! I didn't set out to photograph signs or words that I find, but I find myself drawn to them. It must be something about their color or their rust.
Besides taking pictures of everything that I see, I've been on this site called "pinterest" (totally amazing and I suggest checking it out)...I keep coming across very thought provoking quotes and suddenly, the light bulb went on! Here is what a spark of creativity did to me...

Cherish Today

Today was one of those days that I would repeat over and over again if I could! Not just because it was a {BEAUTIFUL} summer day, but because I got to spend it with the ones that I love! Chad had the day off so it became a day full of family time! Here are a few pictures of a day that I am grateful for...

 Yummy kabobs for supper!

I set up an obstacle course for the girls to complete. I couldn't have imagined how much Alexis LOVED this idea! We all got into the fun as you will see below. These are the moments that I hope Alexis will always remember!

 Chad really got into the fun...I just LOVE this man!

BIKE RIDE!!

BON FIRE TIME!!!

 Wow fire...don't worry, it was under control!
