June iphone photos and Kids Say


Happy July! July is always a good month to celebrate because it’s National Ice Cream Month–not that I don’t already celebrate almost every other day of the rest of the year 😉 Anyway, here is our June recap with iphone pictures..(not in chronological order–or really, not in any order at all!)
 
1) I bribed my kids with puppy chow to get them to cooperate for this picture. Based on the comments from my instagram, I’d say I’m not the only mom to bribe haha 2) I’ve always wanted a silhouette picture during my pregnancy but we’ve never had good windows for that until now!! 3) love my girly girl! 4) 26 weeks (taken yesterday!)

I’ve mentioned before that I use an app called A Color Story to edit my iphone pictures. I just wanted to show a before and after to demonstrate how I use it to brighten up a picture that probably would have just been left on my camera roll otherwise! The app is free, along with many features. But I did pay for the extras and so far I think it’s been worth it! (I’m not affiliated with them at all–I just love the app!)

I will always treasure all these pictures with the kids! The other pictures are from Father’s Day, celebrating the best daddy!!

Okay, I may be exhausted, but look how blessed we are!! That picture of the kids eating ice cream is one of my favorites!

1) Sharing her ice cream with her baby brother. 2) She had been playing house with her brothers and had stuffed a blanket in her swim suit. They came down the stairs, excitedly telling me the good news–she was having triplet girls! She wanted a picture in front of the door, “just like mommy!” 3) She got bangs!! It was definitely one of the best decisions I’ve made! No more snot and food getting stuck in her hair haha. 4) Dipped cone to celebrate the first day of summer!

1) and 2) we’ve been trying to get outside in the mornings before lunch to play and swim while Desmond is napping (and before it gets too hot!) 3) Twinning with Evangeline. She heard me mentioning I wanted a 25 week bump shot and she said “I have a baby in my belly, just like you! And I have a striped dress! Can I be in the picture?” How could I say no? 4) We loooove Tubby Todd! You may remember my (non sponsored) review of Tubby Todd that I did a while back. Now they have a MAMA line that I’m excited to try!

1) I’m enjoying this pregnancy and not wishing time away AT ALL! But there are so many cute things that I’ve found through Instagram for my baby girl and I’m so anxious to use it all! If you want sources for anything in the picture, let me know and I’ll link you to their shop! 2) and 3) If you think I take a lot of pictures of this girl, it’s because I spend so much time with her. The boys are usually off playing together and I get this little BFF. 4) One of my favorite pictures of Des! He fell asleep on me yesterday and I was able to pose him, just like when he was a newborn. I can’t believe he’ll be one in 11 days!!

National Donut Day was at the beginning of June. So of course we celebrated, homemade donut hat and all! And Evangeline’s room got the “sweetest” little feature wall!

1) After making fun of snapchat for years, I made an account to see what all the hype was about (mrsjessroberts) I like that I can take videos of the kids for Don to see later in the day (without having to fill up my phone’s storage) and the kids love the filters. But besides that, can’t say that I love it at this point! 2) Desmond and Kingston’s faces crack me up in this picture.

This month’s Kids Say post is a bit lame (maybe I was just too busy!) But the story at the bottom still has me laughing!
 
 
Kingston–“do you still need to put on makeup?”
Me–“no.” (I had already put some on that morning.)
Kingston–“so you’re just going to look like that?!”

Liam–“Wow mommy! Your tummy really does feel like a pillow!”

Kingston–(About the storm clouds) “I think the sun burnt those clouds.”

The 4 older kids had been playing dress-ups in the basement when Kingston came running upstairs to tell us “There’s water in the basement. It’s on the floor by that baby bed.”
It had been raining earlier in the day, so Don and I immediately thought we were going to be dealing with some water damage. He went to check and as he went downstairs, the kids were all pointing and saying “the water is over there!!”
As he went to inspect, he realized that Kingston had just been informing us that there were bottles of water…on the floor…in the basement. So “there’s water in the basement” had a much different meaning than what we originally thought. But we couldn’t stop laughing, thinking about the double meaning of that statement and the panic that followed.
 
P.S.—if you even reached the end!! I will be renaming my blog soon and doing a makeover of this space! We have a couple of blog names in mind, but I need help deciding! I will be conducting some kind of poll on here, facebook, instagram, or snapchat! So be on the lookout!! Or if you already have a suggestion, just write it in the comments!

May iphone photos and kids say


I typically like to post these at the beginning of each month. But we have been so busy lately. If I’m not working on a different blog post, a video, spending time with the family, or getting a million other things done, I’m trying to push myself to get off the couch because I’m so tired. Desmond has been waking up extra early lately so my exhaustion levels have been off the charts. We were up at 5:30(?!?!?) this morning and I’m already shaking from exhaustion. Still wouldn’t trade it for the world. But that’s where I’m at in life–exhausted!
 
Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before, If you follow me on Instagram, most of these photos are repeats. But besides the fact that not everybody has Instagram, I also like to have these pictures on my blog as well. So here is a little (big?) recap of the month of May.
We celebrated 3 years with our little princess!

I love that she loves color as much as I do!

I was kindly sent a bouquet this month from FTD Flowers. Fresh flowers definitely cheer up a space!

1) sink baths with our favorite baby products, Tubby Todd. 2) 22 weeks in my favorite new dress from PinkBlush Maternity. 3) and 4) a couple shots from our (red, white, and blue) Memorial Day weekend.

I’m so excited to meet Maggi’s new baby girl next month!

Rachel and I went out for ice cream and pictures. I already posted the ones she took HERE but, not to brag, but I got quite a few cute pictures of her twirling and effortlessly looking beautiful. (I also went to Ices a second time in a week to celebrate 12 years of remission!)

1) A snap of Evangeline’s very pink room. 2) Have I mentioned we have no clue what we’re doing when it comes to gardening? But Liam is really excited about it so we’re trying to learn! 3)We got a little surprise visit from Elsa and Anna. The kids loved it! 4) I will take as many group shots as I can while they’re young and can be bribed with candy.

So that was our month of May in pictures. But now for the part that people scroll past the pictures to read.

Kids Say–

Kingston–“Dear God, thank you that Jesus made chocolate. Amen.”

We were going to my Grandma Hunn’s house to see her new baby chicks. So I googled “baby chicks” to show the kids what they would look like. I told the kids that I think my grandma said they were black and not yellow like most of the pictures. Liam told me to search “black chicks.” I had to laugh because he had no idea what he was asking and I kind of assumed what would show up when googling that–side note: don’t google “black chicks.”

When referring to her 3 older brothers at the same time, Evangeline calls them “the brothers.”
Example: “What are the brothers doing?”

Kingston–“Daddy, did you get this boo boo on your knee from work?”
Don–“Yeah.”
Kingston–“Maybe you should stop going to work.”

Me–“Ow, Kai! You cannot dig your hand into my stomach!”
Kai–“Oh, I thought that was a pillow.”
**kids, forever building up self-esteem.

Me–“Miss, who should I make a quesadilla for first, Kai or Kingston?”
Evangeline–“Kai….because he’s the better-est!”

Me–“I feel blah today! How do you feel?”
Liam–“Better…than you.”

Kai–“What’s your worst favorite song?”

As Desmond was trying to reach down to scratch his butt during a diaper change…
Me–“Eww! Des! Don’t do that.”
Evangeline–“No no, baby!! If you do that, you will get stinky and die!”
