Signs Of Summer

You can tell Summer is in full swing around here.  We've been enjoying get-togethers with friends, we've been doing our best to hit the pool when we can, and Hope is in super-duper birthday planning mode.  Not to mention being totally and completely eaten up by mosquitos.  That's summer in MO for you!  ;)

I've been working on my speech for the Texas Style Council coming up here REALLY soon-- I'm so nervous and excited about it.  Are any of you going?  I'm really hoping to meet some of you!

    Eek! We're so cute! Even in our swimmies. So glad we got (most of) the kiddos to rally for a pic.

    What an adorable bikini!! Those first sunnies are from Tumbleweeds, right? I can't seem to find another pair like them but I adore the wood frames!!

    It is "winter time" here in Australia (although for a Canadian it feels more like fall) but I can't wait for it to get hot again next month!!

    Have fun!

      Actually, the first pair is from UO several years ago! They are just plastic frames. I do have the Tumbleweeds heart sunnies, though, and I love them!

    Loving those retro looking bathing suits Katie ! :)
    Our summer in the UK seems to have gone overnight - we had the most incredible electrical storms! But now it's all grey and miserable. Easy come easy go!

    Your swim suits are adorable!!! I love the bright blue one with the ruffles. I've been searching for the perfect high waisted 2 piece. Thanks for the links.

    Hope you continue to enjoy the lovely summer!
