I've been a very bad blogger, but I promise, once I get caught up, I will be a much better at updating y'all on our latest happenings!
We are totally lovin life in the Stroup household! Being a family of eight is so much fun- never a dull moment in this house. We are having a great summer! Lots of staying up late, watching movies, swimming in our new pool, baseball games for the older boys, dance practice for the older girls, hanning out, building forts with the little kids, and going to the lake every chance we get!......and of course trips to Andy's Frozen Custard to get a little treat on a hot day!! That's what it's all about, right?
Starting off with the trip to the hospital and ending with the latest happenings, here are a few pics of what we have been up to:
(above) Ella's night at the hospital. Although she had an IV in her hand and an oxygen monitor taped to her toe, she still smiled for a picture! (and YES she even wears a bow at the hospital!!!)
On June 5, James celebrated his 11th birthday at a local Japanese restaurant where they cook your food right in front of you!!!
On the same weekend as James birthday (much to James's dismay) the older girls, Anna Grace and Sarah, had a dance recital! They did amazing!
Anna Grace was a flower girl in our pastor's daughter Stephanie's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and we wish the best for Stephanie and Mike!!!
We went over to a neighbors house for a Father's Day Cookout. Ella enjoyed her ice-cream cone poolside!
Our little(st) bathing beauty! Ella loves the pool! She likes to swim around with the older kids holding her. She will even plug her nose and stick her face under water!!!! She will be swimming in no time!
Just last week we went to the lake! We left the little kids at home and enjoyed a nice (worry free) time of skiing, wake-boarding, and tubing!
Our beautiful little Guatemalan Princesa!
