THE PRESTIDGES: Survived July and rocked it!

July flew by, and well, we had actually wanted it to, so it worked out. Adam was in his final days of studying for the bar exam, which were pretty brutal, and the last 2 days of July he flew to New York to take his bar exam. He feels pretty good about it, but we won't find out for months if he passed (fingers crossed till then). But while he was cramming all hours in the library, we tried to have fun and make the most of summer without him. As fun as it was, we were all excited to get through it!

I warn that there are lots of random all-kids photos! And Solana has taken on a new meaning of selfies. My camera is full of these gems every day. Oh I hope she never changes. I love them!

It was a double shower kind of night - before dinner, and then another one after. But spaghetti faces are so cute!

Dinner without Adam can get pretty casual around here. (See photo above)

Solana selfie on her way to gymnastics

Slide buddies! And trying to attempt the park at 8 am in hopes that it doesn't get too hot was only brilliant for 20 minutes. We were all sweaty by the time we left.

Sometimes, the mulch is pancakes. But today, it was food for the animals on the boat - Solana was a mama cow, and Boston was a baby cow, who kept messing up the animal food!

Discovering that he fits nice and snug in the doll stroller.

Love the double chin action.

When it rains, the boots come out, and I secretly wish we all had a matching pair :)

Hand waxing at Yankee Candle. She did so well for barely being tall enough to get one hand down.

Solana and her proud wax hand. But I seriously have no idea what to do with it, its still sitting around the house and I pray it doesn't melt.

Yeah this one is awesome!

He loves flipping through the pages, and I can't help but snag a cute photo of it.

Play-do is my enemy of mine, so when we bust it out we go all out with the hope I that I don't have to get it out ever again. But she sure does love it and that makes me not dislike it so much :)

Boston's new NYC shirt (sized 12 months) and Solana took it off him and put it on herself. Let the clothes stealing begin… That face says "Please, can I keep this shirt?!"

6 years to the day and 2 kiddos in between. July 18, 2014. Our 6th anniversary. When life gets crazy and we don't ever get to see each other, we get fun mornings to remember how perfect life can be. Happy Anniversary to us! Best six years of our lives!

I guess the sofa is a little too big for Boston's standards. He loves thinking the stroller is for him.

When Daddy is home, he always riles them up right before bedtime.

This is the first time she crawled into his crib, where the giggled and talked and hours later finally fell asleep. I couldn't help but sneaking a picture late at night. They are best buddies. (minus all the sibling fights over toys and attention)

I'm on a boat!

Rocking the water slides solo. Love her independence.

Yeah they were exhausted from Water Country. That's when you know they had lots of fun. I love Boston's face. It says, "Please take me home."

It never gets old. Climbing into the "sink" is the only way to get what you want from up high. Works every time. This time, Boston just decided to stick with it and hang out in the sink.

She's a great mommy.

Someone loves going to the dentist. She even told me after that taking care of kids' teeth is what she wants to do when she is bigger. Just like Daddy's friend Matt :)

Someone did NOT like the dentist. Haha. He gets over it pretty quickly and Solana hated it as well until about 2 years old. This face says, "I can tell this is not going to be good."

Mid-day sculpture building from our future architect/pediatric dentist/lawyer/animal rescuer.

After the bath is my favorite time, all clean and extra sweet.

Picking up Adam on his last day of studying, never to return to school again. His happiness was through the roof! Which of course made us that much happier to have him back. Peace out, law school!
