One Week!!!

We have reached the one week mark until our move and things seem to be moving right along! The girls are doing unbelievably well with the transition so far and are quite the little packers! Continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we take on this new and exciting adventure!

Our little helpers!

I took a picture of the girls with their names on the wall before we took them down.

I'm not going to lie it was pretty sad taking the names down but they thought it was so cool so we ended up having tons of fun doing it!

Mackenzie requested that we take some pictures of the house, so we did!

Our first home as a family <3

Norristown Summer Visit!

Every summer we take a trip up to Jimmy's parents and this past weekend's trip was definitely one to remember! Why?! Because Aunt Jenna came as a surprise from California!!! Jimmy and I were in on the secret but my in-laws and the kiddies had no clue! It was so fun seeing every one's reaction and it was so special to have the Wolfe family together again (we missed you Uncle Nick!). In three days we seemed to have done it all! We swam, lounged by the pool, played tennis, went rose picking, played cars, went out to dinner both nights, visited with Granma, picked pears, chased geese....you name it, we did it! Thank you Nana and PopPop for such a fun weekend and a special thanks to Aunt Jenna for making it that much sweeter!

Surprise!!!

OBX 2015

We were so blessed to be able to spend almost 3 weeks down in the Outer Banks this summer! Each week seemed to get better and better and the kids (and adults) couldn't have had more fun! The first week was Ball Family week and we were so happy that Uncle Kev and Courtnie were able to join us for the Fourth of July weekend! The second week was Fiorda/Ball week where Gran-PopPop, G-G, Uncle Vince, Tyler, and Sam all came to join in the fun! The third week was Kid week where we wrapped up an amazing summer vacation with just MomMom, Aunt Kris, and the grandkids! Thank you Mom and Dad for another year of amazing memories made at the Beach Ball!

Four little beach lovers!

There is nothing better than relaxing in MomMom and PopPop's pool!

Headed to the beach!

Photo taken right after she said "I'm NOT tired!"

Collecting sea shells was a huge hit this year!

Of course we had to do a silly one!

Seriously the best running view ever!

This one took a little swim in the pool (she swims like a toddler).

Me and my best bud watching nightly cartoons!

That smile...<3

Turtle watching

They were so proud and excited to bring their buggy boards down to the beach!

We took the kids to see "Inside Out"! Such a cute movie!

I had to leave mid way through week 2 due to two weddings. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked but my Uncle sent me this one which totally melts my heart. <3
