Randoms from our week

We've had a busy, fun week. Well, most of it has been fun. Our air conditioning was out for about four days last week (the not fun part), so in our efforts to beat the heat, I bought an ice cream maker. I've been wanting one for a while and having no air conditioning in 95 degree heat could not have been a more perfect excuse!! The kiddos were so excited (and I'm not gonna lie- Chris and I were pretty excited, too!). 

 Waiting....

 And waiting...

 Homemade peach ice cream- perfecto!!

 Cade and Ella went a little nuts for that ice cream!

 Harper was not going to miss out! She loved drinking out of Daddy's bowl!

 It was all fun and games until Cade got splattered. Taking a picture probably made it worse, but these are the funny pictures my brothers and I love from when we were kids. Sorry, Buddy! Ha!

 In other news, our girl is on the move and loves to hide from Mommy.

 Papaw, Mamaw, and Payton came up for a visit on Saturday, and we went to Keehner Park for a picnic. Love those warm summer nights outside!

 Fun memories!

 Harper had her first taste of fried chicken and loved it.

 She also enjoyed her time on the swing.

Ella, Payton, and Cade had fun exploring the woods.

Yay for summer picnics!! =)

 Ella has hip hop dance camp every night this week, so we've been trying to do some special things with Cade while she's gone. He tried his first sushi Monday night, or "shushi" as he called it.

 It was a hit!!

More big news- Harper is finally standing up! She had us wondering there for a while if she was ever going to walk, but she is pulling up on everything this week. It won't be long now!

Harper also took her first ride in the Jeep last night and just giggled her little head off. Here's to our three big kiddos! They are growing up too fast!
