What I'm Lovin' August {2021}

Our August memories were filled with more summer fun and preparation for another school year.  We were loving:  

Pictures with my favorite girl. 

Pretty girls in Sunday dresses. 

Watching these two boys enjoying their pool. 

 

This silly girl wearing her big brother's clothes like his swim suit. 

Starting and ending our summer with a Rita's treat. 

Grayson and Maggie enjoying their cool treats.

Brody enjoyed a cool mint chocolate chip Italian Ice.  

Mattox was looking forward to a friend's Nerf gun birthday party, but somehow, Mom was a week late and got the dates wrong.  

A trip to Charlotte is not complete without eating at Brixx pizza. 

Mattox draws an interesting monster that looks like a potato head. 

Brody designs his own pizza. 

And a stop at Cabela's to check out the fish tank isn't bad either. 

Grayson loved the fish in the huge tank. 

Daddy and his kids at his favorite store. 

Back to school for these boys. 

Evan begins high school in a high nationally ranked gifted STEM program. 

Brody begins his last year of elementary school. 

Mattox takes on 1st grade. 

Grayson starts full day pre-K. 

Miss Maggie wanted in the pictures although she wouldn't start school until her 3rd birthday. 

Big boys getting treats at Sonic after school.

Trying out a barbecue place in our new town that was started in our old city of 
Charlotte and was a favorite of ours. 

The weather was acceptable enough to dine al fresco.  I love Evan's real smiles when he gives them. 

Daddy and daughter are inseparable. 

Big brothers can play with baby dolls too. 

Miss Maggie makes herself comfortable while waiting at doctor appointments.

 

Big brother Mattox is not so patient as he waits for an eye doctor appointment. 

Grayson is so caring and gentle with Maggie in the pool. 

Cuties in the pool.

Daddy and son time in the pool. 

A boy and his best friend. 

Cocoa and this boy have a very special bond that I know will never leave him. 

A lovely rainbow in our own backyard. 

Naps by the pool are the best. 

Good summer naps. 

Maggie's masterpieces. 

Maggie loves her new pink potty.  She used it the very first night.  

Cute girl ready for bed. 

Fun dinner dates with old high school besties. 

Proud that I finally grew my nails out thanks to Color Street easy manicures.  These are probably the longest they have been since I was pregnant with Evan. 

Miss Maggie likes the corner booth at our Mexican restaurant. 

And so does Grayson.

Mattox and Brody are our resident artists. 

Brody likes using the murals on the walls as inspiration.  He  drew "the Palace of the Jaguar."  

Maggie creating another masterpiece.  She loves to draw and color now. 

Cute girls after church. 

Pelican's snoballs that taste like snow cream! 

Tea parties with my favorite girl. 

Sipping our "tea" and enjoying a pain au chocolat. 

Cute little curly haired cow girls. 

Pretty girls with pretty curls. 

More cute Color Street nails. 

More fun pool time. 

Pool time with daddy.
