It's the little things like... the (RETURN) of summer dayyys!

Da-da-DUM!!! 

It's SUMMER, and the Matamoros family adventures are BACK and better than ever. (I know what you're thinking...just when you thought they couldn't get any sweeter.)

SUMMERTIME. I'm just a little excited... here's one BIG reason:

Ok, and maybe there's (one) MORE reason:

Last summer, this blog served as my super-exciting ;) "out-of-school-for-the-summer" creative outlet. I looked forward to posting all of our summer adventures every week and hoped to create a sort-of "memoir" showcasing all the joy (in even the smallest moments) that our little family shared during our time together. Most of our adventures happened without even leaving our front (or back) yard. Well, the adventures, for sure, didn't stop when school started back, but life does have a way of speeding up just a teeny bit between the months of August-May. (In fact, I could create an entire separate blog just for school adventures.... for another day... ;) )

Since I'm a couple of weeks behind (June 4th ALREADY?!), this post will be a catch-up of all the adventures (even in those "little moments") that our fam has already had in these summer days... So, hold on to your hats, ladies and gents, this is going to get good...

Summer (for me) officially started when my BFF got HITCHED!!! (We had just little fun celebrating our sweet Lauren & Sam...)

Rehearsal dinner ADVENTURE... (Our mountains had missed us!!)

Two of our favorite adventure-ers on the planet!! (Max was TOO busy dancing with the flower girls to pose for a pic... no joke!)

My beautiful LAUREN. BFF soul-sitahs! :)  

We got down with our bad selves with Lauren & Sam, and then it was finally "officially" summer. (Cue "Schooooool's out for the summmmaaaa!")


Since the weddin', here's the BIG adventures that have filled our summer days (thus far)...

We've been HAMMOCKing...

(As if we even have to tell you) We've, of course, been running through the SPRINKLERS...

We've already eaten a (few) POPSICLES...

 We've hung out with CELEBRITIES...

Max was really sad the fish wasn't there...

Meet Lady... Lady Bug.

We've even gotten our hands a little DIRTY...

Our new herb garden... yuuum!

And, yeah, on second thought, it's ONLY June 4th. The adventures are just beginning, so stay TUNED, and we're keeping our eyes peeled for the "little moments." :)
