10 days, 2,000+ miles, 4 states, and so much fun. We're almost home, but I'm still not ready for it to end! #ourkidsarethebestroadtrippersever #theminivanmadeitpossible #boiseandtheoregoncoast2016

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Sweet land of liberty, of thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, with freedoms holy light. Protect us by thy mind, Great God, our king.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Sang these words yesterday while sitting next to the most patriotic person I know... my Grandma Knowles. Such a beautiful way to celebrate this amazing country. My heart burns brightly with love for this country, on this and every day.

Happy Independence Day!

Spent a few hours hanging with these lovely ladies while our kids played at the park. I left wondering how in the world I was blessed with such good friends as these through high school and how lucky I am to still see them occasionally. Cream of the crop, people. They're the best. #bff #ninekidsbetweenus #movebacktoutah @taushamarie! @bekackand I miss you!

Kolaches for breakfast this morning. I wish David got to stay home from work everyyyyyyy day. He's had the week off and it's been A+! #czechtexanbreakfastofchampions

Sometimes you drag your kids all over creation running errands then pretend like the whole reason for leaving the house was for a trip to the "donut factory". #winning #krispykreme #ireallylovedonuts

My favorite people. (Minus @davidpeaden who we are REALLY missing this week but who just said he was on the 4 o'clock train home to us!) #pajamaday #everyday

Half Day Fridays are THE best! #theend

Our Saturday morning consisted of organizing and hosting a multi-family yard sale. This morning, the first thing Lydia wanted to do was host her very own pretend yard sale with her Dad and little brother as her main customers. I love this age of playing pretend. It's pretty new territory and it's so much fun.

Crying and feeling so so sad because she wants us to paint our new window seat red instead of the white that I told the painters to use. #itshardtobefour #bigemotions

@davidpeaden came home from work yesterday carrying this star basket, balloon bouquet, and an award he received at a meeting for being a "Rising Star" at his firm. There are lots of really neat things he will get to do as a part of the award including attending part of the National Partner retreat in October, but more than anything it's just so neat for him to be recognized for all of the time, effort, and dedication he puts into the work he does. I'm so proud of him and so grateful that I'm the one that gets to team up with him on this life journey! #hesalwaysbeenastarinmybook

Progress! It's been one setback after another but two weeks after our painting "start date"... We finally have paint! (Although they used masking tape to tape around the wall and when they pulled it off they pulled all the paint with it. So they are supposed to come back and finish that... Sometime in the next week. Ugh.) So excited to see this finally coming together after years of planning! #windowseat
