These moments are fleeting, these moments are mine,
These moments are glimpses, snapshots in time.
I wish to breathe them, to drink them all in.
These moments are where my memories begin.

Girls Breakfast (and spending the day with my best friend from Ottawa)
Beautiful and Peaceful Prairie Scenes
Water Fights
Front Porch Reading (with freezies)
Birthday Girl
Mommy’s Day Out

It’s been such a wonderful and full month! Wishing you a lovely weekend!

What a lovely family. You sure had a fun filled July! Have a good weekend :)
It was a wonderful month Danielle! We certainly made sure to enjoy our first month of summer!
Wishing you a lovely weekend as well.
I knew August was quickly approaching, but this is the last Friday of July??? Oy!! So glad you had a lovely month and hope the next one is more of the same!
Isn’t it hard to believe Lisa! Summer is just whizzing by!
The matching tattoos are too cute, oops tell Deliberate Daddy his is awesome and manly!
Oh my goodness Jen… you always make me laugh. Yes – very manly indeed. By the way, his tattoo is the real one ;-)
Whew, good to know. I was worried :) :)
You captured some great moments this month Jennifer. Were those white jeans I saw you wearing? :)
Love the birthday girl, and the Bible reading, and the tattoos. And of course mommy’s day out!
Have a lovely weekend my dear!
xoxo
Haha! Trust you to spot the white jeans. Yup, I took some of your fashion advice and found myself white jeans AND skinny jeans!
Thanks for sharing in my moments!
Wishing you a lovely weekend as well.

these are such lovely memories you captured! the scenery in Canada is breathtaking! can’t wait when i get to see it! + your girl reading the Bible is so precious!
Canada is beautiful. If you ever come, you have to stop by in Alberta and I’ll give you a great big hug!
I loved that Bible reading moment as well. It was well after her bedtime and I was going to read my Bible out on the deck. I invited her to join me and she was delighted.
Wishing you a lovely weekend Gen!
Very sweet! Wishing you another wonderful month ahead!
Thanks so much Yanic. July was the perfect start to our summer.
xoxo
What a fun month. I love that tattoos. How fun is that?! Happy belated birthday. Here’s wishing you a happy August filled with many more such beautiful moments.
Yes, it was such a fun month with so many beautiful memories.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
A wonderful collection of moments. Mom’s day out must have been great!! Have a great weekend :)
Any time I can have a mom’s day out is pure, welcomed, bliss!
Thanks for sharing in my moments Katie.
Wishing you a lovely weekend as well.
Beautiful pictures, beautiful life! Scrolling down I thought, “that’s my favorite!” Then, “no, that’s my favorite!’ Love them all. Here’s to a wonderful August!
Awww, thanks Farrah. It is a beautiful life… thank you for sharing in these moments with me.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
xoxo
Aww, such a lovely family, and great memories captured. I just adore your poem at the top.
Thank you for sharing.
Awww, thanks! I wanted something to introduce {these moments} and I’m so glad I came up with that poem! It will now be the regular introduction to my {these moments} posts.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
BEAUTIFUL! I love the fake tattoo…do you ever wonder if she might actually get the same one as dad when she gets older? If my dad had a cool tattoo like that, I’d probably get the same one! But my fave is the one of you reading to your girls on the porch.
I don’t want to even begin to think about my daughter getting a tattoo. Although her dad has a rule about tattoos: think about what you want, write it down, if you like it a year later then you can seriously consider getting it.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing in my moments of the month.
I’ve had such a busy week that I haven’t had a chance to really visit daily like I usually do. I happened to come on today and see these amazing photos of the family. I really love that water fight, look at the joy on their faces. Here’s hoping you have a great weekend my friend.
Thanks Amanda! It was a wonderful month and lots to be thankful for.
Wishing you a delightful weekend as well.
xoxo
A nice recap of your month, here’s hoping for a great August!
Thanks Susen! It was a fabulous month… I don’t know how August could top it but we’ll see!
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
What a great idea! I never thought of doing a “These Moments” post at the end of each month before! I may have to jump on the bandwagon!
Our moment this week comes from the blueberry field!

Have a lovely weekend, my friend! xo
I did enjoy the {this moment} posts but they became a little much to be doing once a week. I like this switch to a monthly {these moments} post. I whipped up the poem and here we go… a new tradition. You’re more than welcome to join in!
Blueberries… my favourite! I’ll make sure to stop by.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Tim Horton’s! I miss it so much.
And the beautiful prairie scene made me gasp.
here’s to another month of beauty!
Tim Horton’s is THE best!
I love our prairies… they’re wide open and the sky is ENORMOUS! Absolutely breathtaking.
Ah… just lovely moments Jennifer!!! That prairie is breathtaking! I love the idea of capturing a months worth of goodness. :)
I loved compiling these moments and looking back at the month. It’s been lovely!
Beautiful, priceless memories. May your August be beautiful, also.
Thanks Angel! It’s been a lovely month… there’s so much to be thankful for.
Thank you for stopping by!
I really like this end-of-the-month photo montage! (And let me echo the sentiments of “Say what? We’re at the end of this month?” Where did July go?)
Okay, I was just commenting on your blog while you were commenting on mine. Kindred spirits I tell you!
Can you believe July is almost over?! I’m stunned. It was a wonderful month indeed!
Such wonderful memories…a life well-lived. I especially love the prairie shot and the one of you reading to the girls. That is the stuff that memories are made of. You will especially treasure shots like that one day. Beautiful and precious memories.
Our prairies are gorgeous Topaz.
Thank you for sharing in these moments with me.
Such a cute poem that you wrote! Love all the pictures from your month. You had some fun and relaxing moments with your beautiful family!
Thanks Emily… I needed something to open up my these moments posts… and this poem came out of me.
We’ve had a wonderful month of July. I’m looking forward to another great month of summer vacation!
Some lovely pictures! I particularly like the Water Fight one. After all what’s summer without a water fight or two! Love the expression of your daughters face as you are reading on the back step, think she may be having a brain freeze from the lolly!
thank you Debbie. We had such a lovely, lovely month. Truly spectacular!
