Pool Party for the 4th!

Friday we got to have a pool party at Mimi and Potts house! JD, David, Jessica, Rachel, Phillip, Raymond, Scott, Patty, Megan, Poppa, Mimi and Potts were all there with us and it was so much fun :)

Eddie the pup went for a little swim too, but he was sick so he mostly laid around... poor guy

JD "the chef" taming her grill fire.... this pic is so funny! Love that I caught this classic face of hers :) Love you JD.. thanks for cooking for us all!

Ray and JR were snorkeling buddies. He did so great for his first time and had such a great teacher too!

TN 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone! JR and I are in Tennessee spending the holiday with our families. I love being in Kingston on the lake for the 4th every year.. and am definitely spoiled by their AMAZING fireworks! We will get to spend some time at Mimi and Potts' pool with some friends, ride jet skis with dad on the lake, have mom a birthday party and see our nephew Tristan. Busy weekend for sure BUT as always I love being with family :)

I have a HUGE praise as I am now only $60 away from reaching my goal for the Philippines. I am almost positive that I will be getting this from family this weekend, so I am very thankful for EVERY ONE's support! Only 2 more weeks before I do!!

Please continue to pray for Potts as he is now 5 weeks post surgery. He went back to the hospital on Wednesday so they could monitor his blood pressure more closely, as it is still not stable. If yall would continue to keep him in your prayers we would greatly appreciate it. I am so ready for him to be all better.. and I know he is too :)

Have a great weekend!!

Happy Birthday Meg!

Meg is my sweet friend and sorority sister from college. Her and her husband Nick now live in Nashville, where she is a nurse. I love you my Meglet :)

Garden Flag

I finally finished JD's garden flag! Sorry it took so long friend... it has been a bit crazy :) I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out and want to make one for myself next!!!

Life with kids...

Where do I hope the Isham family is in about 10 years?

We hope looking something like this ha! One big happy family :)

We had the privilege of watching the Todd children again last night, and as usual had a blast! They wanted to go to the park again so they could swing and play on the monkey bars. Once we got back home they had a big time playing with the puppies too.

Can you tell that I love these kiddos just a little???

Now Maisy has my camera and is taking shots of us all. Isaac had fallen asleep on the walk back home.. such a little snuggler.

And Jar was in charge of pushing the stroller... he is such a natural ha!

The puppies chasing Maisy around

Major was jealous that he wasnt getting any attention.. aww poor guy.

Happy Anniversay to the Landers!

Today is Josh and Katie's 2 year anniversary! They are in Destin celebrating as we speak!!
Love you Flanders family :)

Congrats to the Links!

BJ and Jessie Link are expecting! Little Link is due in December and I am SOO very excited for them. Love you Jessie girl :)

Sunday Sewing

I had a rather busy day sewing today. I recently found a new discount fabric store and found LOTS of goodies. Every fabric is $7.99 a yard and its really nice stuff, so if you are in the area and want to check it out I think you should! Discount Fabric Warehouse

I did a lot of cutting yesterday as I have several new patterns to try as well. I ended up only finishing 4 projects last night but hope to do lots more this week!

Bday present- Towel for my mom's shop... she is a beautician :)

I found this cute orange and white fabric that I just couldnt pass up on sale for 50% off... so I decided to make a pillow! This is not for me.. but I have to leave who it is for a surprise ha!

And yes for those who have never tried to do a pillow before... it really is EASY!!
Bib and burp cloth set for one of my mom's customers. The burp cloth I made myself and I also did my own bib (also easy) except when I went to put the snaps on I did it backwards ha! So the last bought bib was used instead :)

The FORT

Today we went to the Todd's to hang out and help put together the kids new FORT! Their grandmother got it for them and it is HUGE ha! It took the boys all day working on it.. and they still didnt get it all done :)

Here is Lily already checking it out.. what a cutie :)

and Jar not looking very excited that I have the camera out

Maisy Lynn

The boys working hard and Christina monitoring the progress (her and I did a lot of sitting and watching ha.. b/c our job was to take care of the kids!)

me and the Isaac man hanging out watching

Just before bedtime.. more sweet Isaac time. He is getting so big!

and this picture was actually from a few weeks ago.. JR took it at Maisy's bday party. I couldnt resist sharing what a handsome fella he is :)

Carolina Mudcats

We have found a new favorite past time for the summer... Carolina Mudcats Baseball! This is the local minor league team and we have gone to 3 games already this summer. It is a lot of fun and really inexpensive too (from $5-8 a ticket and kids 6 and under are free!)

our 2nd game a couple of weeks ago...

with our other Mudcat fan friends, Micah and Haley

Game this week and we brought more fans! Hope joined us..

and the boys gained Big John :)

Muddy the mudcat is the mascot and he is so fun! He comes out on a 4-wheeler and drives around the stadium getting the kids all excited. He plays lots of games with the fans in between innings too.. gotta love a catfish as a mascot ha!
