we all scream for {homemade} ice cream!

One of my favorite childhood memories is listening to the sound of the ice cream maker run out on the back patio. The picture below is not of our ice cream maker, but ours looked JUST like it! The rusted parts and wire hanger being used as a hook on the side. My mom would let us take turns pouring in the rock salt around the bucket, and we'd usually sneak a piece or two to munch on! :) I wonder if my mom still has that ice cream maker... good times!

Tons of great memories can be made while the ice cream maker is running. But now, you don't have to have the maker to make the memory!

If you know me, than you know that I LOVE my flip flops! I must admit, the only time you'll catch me in tennis shoes is on the volleyball court. What do you say we celebrate the 1st day of summer by blingin' out some flip flops! Check out these ideas...

Summertime Features!

How's YOUR summer going? We've been swimming twice and I'm already tan. It's a blessing, I guess. Luckily we all tan pretty good. We slather on the sunscreen and head out! We've been having TONS of fun! These are some of the things that we've checked off our list so far this week...

prepare a FHE lesson

build a model

host a sleepover

build a fort

cold stone ice cream

Jackson prepared the SWEETEST lesson for family night! It was on reverence, and he even showed us a slip of paper that his primary teacher handed him last week. Inside it read 'thanks for being reverent!' He was SO proud to be able to show us. Because, let's face it- it doesn't happen very often! Let's just say, my kids are VERY social at church! :)

Okay, some of my favorites from our Summer party are:

Time Well Spent made these darling summer flip flops! I want some for myself!!
