How To Make My Summer Count.



1. Play soccer.
....the 90 degree temps and sock tan line that I now have on my legs I could do without, but the winning 9-1 (and no knee problems!) made up for it.



 2. Cookout.
Including, but not limited to: friends, kabobs, bonfires, and s'mores {with reese cups!}




3. Spend days at the pool with miss Ashley & Lindsay 
(the Goat, where else?)
thank you Jessie for always letting me use your pool passes. 
You are a lifesaver and I love you long time.




Don't mind if I {we) do.


and sending ridiculous bathrooms shots to Steph...
don't act like you don't do these.

(coverup is from Target last year)


4. Quality time with our new hammock.
(it did get moved into the yard eventually)

We exchanged the red canvas hammock (pictured last friday) for an original rope one. 
I'm a little old school in the fact I like hammocks just how I knew them growing up...in all their ropey glory.



5. Seeing my cousin who was in town from Denver, CO.



Reunited at last :)




6. Go Fishing!

Don't count me out just yet.
This girl loves to fish and loves a good competition with Billy 
on who can catch the most fish even more.

The only thing I won't do is take the fish off the hook.
Billy can handle that part.


His tackle box he's had since he was little.
Thing is LEGIT...3 layers with multiple comparments and even fishing stickers.
Yeah, fishing stickers. So funny.


7. Grill pizza.

Oh my YUM.
How have I gone so long this year without grilling pizza?!
I must be insane. Grilling a pizza > baking a pizza in the oven. 
It has the most perfect firey taste and I think we must incorporate them at least once a week from this point on.

Gimme some tomato, basil, and mozzarella and a whole wheat crust on the grill 
and I could be set for life. 
(...until I get hungry again.)


{I swear there are tomatoes and basil 
underneath that massive mound of cheese.}


This weekend was the perfect combination of everything  we enjoy tied into a couple days. 
Isn't that what summer is all about anyways?! 
Now, I've got one last full week of work then it's....
 Texas time.
 I'm liking the sound of that. ;)

What are your favorite things to do in the summer?
How do you soak up your summer days?


Happy Monday!

  6. I think you need to let us know where you get all your cute clothes!! You always have such fantastic outfits. Love the print on those soccer shorts, as well as the coverup in the bathroom shot. Where is it from??

    My favorite things to do on weekends are definitely relax by the pool or on the beach, or hang out at the race track :-)
