cousins.

it was so much fun to be able to see cousins and grandparents in ohio this summer. the kids had a blast and it makes me want to figure out a way for us all to live closer together. more cousin time, please!

indianapolis temple open house.

 it was such a wonderful experience to be able to walk through the temple as a family. it was beautiful! temples are so special and sacred and i'm grateful we now have one in the hoosier state.

june wearing the little booties. so cute!

oh man, it was soooooo hot.

they had a Christus statue in the visitors center tent. june told us it was scary.

a highlight for gus was this huge fan blowing cold air into the visitors center. fun times.

lately.

 going to church with these two isn't always easy, but they always look cute so that helps.

meijer is a popular errand thanks to sandy the horse. a penny well spent.

i locked us out of the house on a very hot day...whoops! luckily i had water and snacks in my bag and our landlord came quickly. what a saint!

napping kids are my favorite kids.

louisville slugger museum.

this museum was so much fun for our whole family. the tour was quick and there was lots of machines to look at and bats to hold which kept everyone entertained.

blueberry picking.

I'd been hearing suuuch good things about Bryants Blueberry Farm, so Josh and I took the kids on Friday and it was PERFECT.  The people were kind, the place was quaint, and the blueberries were the tastiest ones I've ever eaten.  Gus, Josh and I ate our weight in berries, while June had a blast just picking and exploring.  It was pretty wet from all the rain we've been getting but the kids loooved all the puddles to hop in.  Oh and they had a little bar of soap hanging from a rope and a water faucet outside for people to wash their hands and Gus and June reeeeally loved that too.  The place was amazing and now Josh and I can't stop thinking about buying some land to have blueberry bushes of our own and maybe some goats and chickens too.

more summer.

summer time.
