July’s Favorite Photos

July was a fun month, the weather was kind and cool, and we had fun celebrating the Fourth of July with friends and family. We started some big home projects, and enjoyed some quiet days too. Here are a few of my favorite photos from July.

My biggest kid always makes this face when he sees me take a picture.

Sometimes I catch him making this face.

My little big kid has enjoyed the Summer. He isn’t in too big of a hurry to go back to school.

Agnes is getting excited for preschool. She can’t wait to start school.

We celebrated the Fourth of July with our neighbors and all of our family too. That’s Uncle Rob with the kiddos. He is the best Uncle ever!

My littlest kids have a different imaginary game going every day. They love to play.

I finished up a big crochet project, I also made a bunch of little ones too.

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen.

The weather in July was unseasonably cool and comfortable.

Agnes was thrilled when she spotted this little visitor enjoying the cool clovers.

So much work happened on the house over the last week of July.

Here is a little peek at the progress.

We kept the pup busy with extra walks, and trips to the park while the siding was going up.

She hasn’t been too fond of the noise, and all of the extra people around. Her protective bark has been non-stop, but she is a good little guard dog.

She loved going to the park with the kids. It was a nice little walk from our house.

The big kitty has been pretty calm through the home renovations.

Once he finds a good spot for a nap, nothing stresses this big guy.

Nine Years Today

Nine years ago today, I posted my first blog post, not really knowing what to do, or just what NicoStuff.com was going to be about. I was a first-time mom in a small town, I had no idea we would be moving in a few months, I was just trying to figure out who the new-mom-me was.

Nine years later, we’ve moved twice, added two more amazing kiddos to the family, and I’m confident in my skills in motherhood. I’ve learned how to cook, how to crochet, and I am in love with my life as a homemaker.

I want to thank you for reading along, posting comments, and all of the amazing friendships over the last nine years. Thanks for being there for me through the good times and the rough times too.

Here’s to what lies ahead….

 

Lost Weekend

I spent most of the weekend in a sleepy-haze, but pain free thankfully. This last set of migraines really did a number on me… I am feeling much better today though.
