Labor Day Weekend

Kicked it off with a WIN vs Biddo on Thursday and had FRIDAY OFF from work/school. Whoop Whoop!!!

MIL brought some peaches for Husband to use for jam...

We had Husband's favorite day of the year and I thought the logos on our shirts were so funny for the day....

Breanna was not there so these two were on kid-care duty and loving every second of it...

The chaos around the table... all food and peep CALEB WAS THERE! HOORAY!

Ended the afternoon with some chicken catching, wrangling and snuggling....

Lotta SUMMER happened between this picture....

and this one....but so grateful to have the moment captured by SIL L while I stayed home with Husband...

and we put the house back together. SIL L said "it doesn't even look like anyone was ever there..." I said 25 years of doing this....Husband and I are a great team and we have a pretty good system going....

July Randoms Captioned

Tell me you have teenage girls without telling me...

Went to visit "old boss" aka Penney at her beach house...the only photo taken... our knees with our 2nd daughters in the background...

Do you see it? :)

Photos from Husband, Minnie and Miss B's camping trip with family...stolen from B&B or sent to me by SIL L or Miss B

Minnie, Miss B and Sky swam to the "big rock"

Punk kids. :)

My heart walking around outside my body...

Meanwhile... no one splashes me when I'm at the pool by myself... and even when BIL L showed up he didn't get my hair wet either! Winning!! Ha!!!

Random BIRD all weekend they were gone trying to get into my living room... RAH!

It's giving Christmas vibes... all the dang lights.

JJ helped me purchase a new TV!

Matchy blood sugars but his went WAY off the rails after this pic! Yikes poor guy!

Cozy....but I missed my crew so much and I WAS SO HAPPY when they got home!

Minnie worked a girl's only sports camp for two weeks.... good introduction to dealing with kiddos....eye opening for her for sure!

Beating the Heat

Just no other way to beat the heat than lakeside or poolside... we have been upwards of mid 90's and in fact they CANCELED the summer track meet for the week because of the heat index. This has not happened in ALL the years we have had a team that Husband or I can EVER remember.... crazy hot...

These two had a sleepover in Abbey's camper and went paddle boarding at sunset...

(Pics courtesy of Wes/Kel or Minnie/Abbey)

These two had a sleepover and then we grabbed her siblings and hit the local pond where Minnie met us...

Jumping into a pool post soccer practice with all your clothes on in the summer at 9PM....it's what childhood is made for!

Hanging at L&L's with 42 bottles of sunscreen and 86 water bottles... obvi!

Best place EVER!

 

School's Out!

My year long lunch date gave me a gift on the last day of school... we talked endlessly about Discus and Barkley...we videoed Husband when he was home recovering with his hips so that my friend could SEE Barks and Disc... we discussed his dogs Max and Murph and I even printed pictures of his dogs for him to look at almost daily....

On the last day he came in right before the end of the day and informed me it was "time to open your present"... he then pulled out the tissue paper on top...asked if I wanted to touch it and then before I could open it said "IT'S FOR DISCUS"! 

I could NOT keep it together... add in an office full of people who heard the whole exchange... I was crying and laughing all at the same time...while it is a very soft blanket... it is in FACT covered in CATS... which most people know I HATE and he knows how MEAN Discus is...

but I emailed this picture to his mom that night... it may actually not REALLY been FOR Discus but she's claimed it as her own now!

Last day of 8th and Sophomore year... so FAST

The outtakes....

We hit up the pool on Friday and then went over for our annual ice cream TRADITION

Plus Paisyn cuz she's always up for a good time!

Here comes SUMMER!
