LaFeber Life Lately: Summer Days!!

We have made the most of this strange year by living every day in the moment. It has actually turned out to be quite a beautiful summer because of this and I can see God's hand in it all. 

Pool days with our best friends Adrien and Jura and their little ones

Jura has been my best friend since we were 9 years old and I want to cry every time I think about all we have been through together! Just the fact that our kids are also growing up together makes my heart so happy!

Lots of days spent sitting under this particular tree with my littlest one :)

Isla's first experience on a slide and she didn't cry!

Isla and her little buddy Emery.

Of course if Austin got to take her on the slide, then Evie definitely had to! Poor Isla is going to be fearless out of necessity!

Mandy, another one of my special friends who makes my life so much better! I don't know what I would do without my tribe of Moms/neighbors to make life better and hold all the babies!

She has already lived the most beautiful life in her short 6 months of life and she is loving every minute of it!

Celebrating Briana's birthday out in Mesquite!! We love her to pieces and she is literally THE BEST Aunt in the world! The kids call her Nana and she is definitely their favorite adult!

Our last park play date with my close friend Chauntelle and her little ones, Blakely, Owen, and Emery before they moved away :(. Blakely and Evie have been inseperable since 6 months old and Chauntelle has been a life saver in my life! She babysat them for a year while I worked and is always the best at planning girls night out and getting me involved in all the fitness activities going on! We will miss them all terribly :(. I am going to miss sitting in front of them in sacrament every sunday and hearing Owen whisper "EEEVVIIEEE" over and over again hehe! Evie was one of his first words and he loved to say it often ;). Thank you Heavenly Father for the incredible friends we have made in this wonderful community.

My girls. My heart. My soul.

Our oven broke right as I was baking cupcakes for Briana's birthday (NOOOOOO!!) So Austin and I got to work and after ordering a special part that I had never even heard of, we got that baby working again! I love that he is always right by my side with every project around the house that I tackle!

And of course we are always doing yoga.... because Mom is insane without yoga.

Grandpa came to visit on his day off from work and we took him to the park! It was such a fun, special day :)

Evie mastering a pose that I can't even try to do! Floating Lotus pose.

Late nights by the fireplace roasting marshmallows and that sweet sweet smile :).

We may have burnt more than we roasted but that's okay haha!

Such a beautiful Henderson night. Our front porch is my happy place :).

Loading up their marshmallow sticks

MMmmmm S'mores!

One of the blessings from this horrible virus plaguing our world is that Daddy gets to work from home now!! You have no idea how wonderful this has been! He has been a part of every special moment this year and it has been so special :).

Evie spending the morning talking to her favorite tree....

and Austin spending the morning digging holes and planting acorns like he likes to do. Someday one of them will actually grow in this desert landscape ;).

As you can see, despite the craziness of the world around us, this summer has been full of sunshine and bright smiles. How can anyone complain about that?! :) I am learning quickly that life is what you make it. And we are making it wonderful :).
