You guys, it’s SHARK WEEK!! I don’t usually get all into sharks, but I have been sucked in majorly this year.  Maybe it was Anna’s super awesome, last-minute, kick-off party?

Funny story:  A few years ago, when Kyndall was 4(ish), Justin let her watch a few episodes of shark week.  In the middle of the night, I woke to heart stopping screams coming for her room.  I rushed in to find her climbing the bookcase in her room.  Seriously, she was on the third shelf.  Getting away from the shark, apparently.
Summer evenings around these parts are spent on the trampoline 98% of the time.  The girls sweet-talked Zion into helping them stunt.  So cute 🙂

I have jumped on the ‘bench-sitting’ train since reading Simply Tuesday.  (Seriously, you guys have got to read it.  It’s all about calming your soul.  The tagline itself reads:  Small Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World.  And right now, it’s half-off on Amazon.  Preorder it here.)

Jase tried his first actual food (prunes), not counting oatmeal cereal.  He wasn’t quite sure how to take it, but after a few bites he decided it was OK.  Not good, but OK.

Fact of Life #3978:  When you are the third child, your family pulls you out of bed at 9:30 at night to ride around and watch fireworks.  Which you will sleep through, because you are a baby.  PS:  See that ring around his head?  My boy puts out some sweat, y’all.

These two.  Such love.

Please excuse the poor, movie-theatre lighting- quality of this photo, but we went to see Max yesterday.  Spoiler alert:  Towards the end of the movie, Max (the main character/hero dog) gets badly hurt and it appears he’s dead.  My girls would be traumatized if the movie had ended this way.  I looked over at one point and told K “He’s ok, he’s going to be just fine.” while silently thinking “Please let him be OK,  PLEASE LET HIM BE OK!”

During the ENTIRE movie, Jase just chilled.  He did nurse a little at one point but the rest of the time he actually watched the movie.  Further proof that he is a great baby.  (Saying this scares me a little–am I going to pay for this when he hits the teenage years?)

By the Numbers:
Number of photos taken on my phone in the past three days:  14
Number of times I said ‘seriously’ in this post:  too many!

What have you guys been up to lately?
