june 2012

at first I was going to try to do a super duper in a nutshell update of the past 3 months ... but than it turned into a realllly long drawn out picture slideshow

so I'll just try to catch up in a timely manner

.june.

the guy from starbucks gave us this clover mug free .... because we're special

 also because we are special, we took a couple's photo to document our awesomeness

 baby ate a smiley face

 clover found a magical land

 celebrated 33 years with this guy

 finished off the rest of our basement in a month

tried the "photography" thang ... but for a friend :)

{by the way...sweetest baby EVER!}

 did VBS music. live with Balding Brian and Crazy Kenzie

embarrassed Darby

 he got us back

baby started walking

 flew to california

can't forget these guys

 

exposed this wild child to the germiest floor ... cannot sit still!

 ate at the most magical place full of rainbows and happiness

May 2012

SUMMER!

brian's off of work! 

{sort of, if you know brian he is never not working on something}

it's not summer without 

 swimming

&

watermelon!

 memorial day

flowers are blooming so beautifully and Clover loves to smell them

 this is one blossom! they got so big, but I don't know what they are!

and summer here is a little different

we get to experience lightening bugs, every night!

 making memories with my girls!

what we don't have pictures of, is that we are finishing off our basement

brian has been working on it every spare second he has

framing, running electrical wire throughout, plumbing, sheet rocking, mudding

all by himself {with help for the electrical}

we're going to be having a young seminary couple live with us for a little while, while the husband is finishing seminary

we were wanting to do use our house somehow for ministry, that's why we got a bigger house, but we thought it'd be a couple years....and the Lord just had this fall into our lap

so now as we are preparing to fly to california in a week and a half, and we are spending more money than we originally calculated....we are continually reminding ourselves that the Lord is good and provides.


with all that said and done.....I have officially caught you up to what is going on in the Irby household
yay...good job...wahoo....you did it....
now for a celebratory cookie dough treat ;)
{and maybe some sit ups afterward to work it off.....it is summer after all....swim suit season {shutter} }

Happy 33th Birthday Bri Bri!
