late night dance party (not sure why everything happens at night but it's how it goes right now)

running a ton to finish 35 miles during august before by 35th birthday

i got glammed up for a birthday girls night with my friends

this guy hopped on my arm as i was picking raspberries

olive finally lost one of her silver teeth!

andre`a is the sweetest with her thoughtfulness 

telling them about disneyworld

we kept it a secret for most of the week

their new shirts for next week

trying on her mask

i did it! i ran 10 miles two weeks in a row and then this week i ran 5 miles three times so i hit my 35 mile goal

i bought this dress for myself and didn't love it on me so i was going to return it but i thought i'd let hazel try it on and it fits her perfectly and looks totally adorable

all ready to go tomorrow! so excited!

it's risky business under a table where kids eat but so far so good

we've been letting noah and hazel watch the office
