august!

to me, august is always the month that goes by the fastest. it seems that way, doesn't it? it's the tail end of summer, so while i'm busy thinking "slow down, time!" it seems to speed up, just to spite me.
it also might have something to do with 3 of my siblings having august as their wedding month... so it seems to sneak up quick when you feel stressed out about helping out, remembering when everything is... also family reunions, switching jobs, starting school, switching around my sleep schedule... this august is going to be one of those where i blink and it's over!!
i'm going to enjoy these next couple weeks, and try not to focus too much on the job, going back to school, money, etc. my family is visiting from texas, my little sister is getting married, we have 2 family reunions (too bad i can only come to 1!). needless to say i am super excited to see the fam as much as possible this month!

i got to go to breakfast with these 2 cuties, their mom, & their (second) favorite aunt casie this morning. mmm granny annie's! scones, pancakes, and SOS...yes!

they have both grown SO MUCH since i last saw them in april! it was kind of shocking, even though i was expecting it! i love these little squirts.

PS notice grace holding her fan i bought her in seattle... i saw it & just knew she would love it! once she figured out what it was she kept saying, "oh, pretty!" & didn't want to put it down when we got home.
