The LONG Weekend Report

 After Miss B and Husband helped (at 5:30 AM!!) at the First Responders Breakfast at church and dropping off Minnie to ref on Saturday AM... the rest of us headed to a VERY WINDY WEDDING!!! We LOVE a good Johnson wedding and feel so VERY blessed to have been invited to most of them! Levi & Chelsey, Kendra & Daniel, Gabby & Isaac, and Kylie's celebration!


They held everything in a huge tent that was being held on the sides by men that came to the wedding and the vehicles that were parked on the outside and some ratchet straps! I will be honest, when the Father of the Groom opened in prayer I MAY have kept my eyes open... we all thought that thing was coming down!!! 


The beautiful Momma of the Groom being escorted by Miss B's birthday buddy :)

Paul! :)

Peyton!

Phoebe!

The bride wore her Mom's dress that she had made for $30 45 years prior for the ceremony and then changed for the reception portion!

We do LOVE us some Jeb! :)
Oh I have loved this boy on the right since he broke crayons in my 3-5 year old Sunday School Class


Speaking of LOVE... my FAVORITE wedding date and the fact that he was able to COME with me to THIS ONE! :) 

Because Minnie was missing the fun while she was reffing we had to send her pics of her fav track gals! :)



One of my very FAVORITE girls! This lady is just so dear to me...from gifting us Rebound to birthing some of my favorite humans... I just love her so!

She raised some wild and AMAZING young men! :)


A RARE Minnie sighting from the weekend... she reffed 9 games between Saturday and Monday...  but she was able to help me for most of nursery! Hooray!

and speaking of RARE SIGHTING!!! TWICE IN ONE WEEK! SOOOOO LUCKY!!! Miss O was playing in the game that Minnie was reffing so Miss B and I headed over after church to hang and watch MORE soccer :)

Miss O did AMAZING and her team came in 2nd for the ENTIRE WEEKEND in their age division!!! Soooooo amazing!
Miss B and I hit up Hannaford on the way home and I got busy in the kitchen... I love to be simmering and cooking away on a rainy Sunday.... corn chowder with potatoes from Husband's garden and fresh corn we cut off the cob this summer. Yum!

Crust-less quiche for the week ahead and biscuits for fun!

Minnie came home wet and happy to have fresh pumpkin muffins.

Monday was in and out but we finished the drizzly day watching our girl....

It was a FUN but very FULL long weekend....

All KINDS of Sports

 Thursday Miss B CRUSHED the team from Acton... always a good mood booster when you get a W!


One lone Grampa hollering! :)

On Friday Husband had a golfer that qualified for the State Meet!! Exciting stuff!! And before they left the course they were stopped by the MPA because... THIS happened... third year in a ROW!
SO PROUD of Husband and how he leads these boys to do what is right on and off the course. I always tell the gals, "someone has to win the sportsmanship award... mine as well be US"... I LOVE this award!

While Husband was having dinner with his golfer, Minnie was at the boys soccer game for Senior Night... Miss B and I went down the road to support the XC team and some of our favs!



Always fun to bump into a Boisse... especially when you are twinning!!!
Miss B and I finished the night snuggled on the couch and obviously Barks was THRILLED with it...so happy he was smiling! :)

Grateful and Blessed

Monday was a WASHOUT for Miss B at her soccer game that was 50 minutes away... I was basically an UBER... got there long enough to get wet and drive her home... I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Tuesday though was yet another GORGEOUS day for soccer... 

Even better that she was playing Miss O!!!! Fun with FRIENDS!

Oh these two melt me... I love them both so much....

and I have for SO LONG...


I mean quite literally they have been friends for their...

ENTIRE lives! :)

MY girl.... the one I call and the one that calls me... I don't know WHAT I would do without her listening ear, wisdom, Mom/Wife advice and her fashion ideas :) I also don't know what we would do without the monkey behind us...
that I am trying to wrestle with one arm in this picture!! Hahahahaha
GRATEFUL and BLESSED to have her in my life for the past 14 years raising these babies together!

Speaking of GRATEFUL AND BLESSED... Minnie was playing in the big city but Miss B and I had to go home to take care of Barks... I told SIL L and Sky I wanted ALL the pictures... so blog post... courtesy of them :) Thanks gals! :)

Minnie had a CREW show up to cheer her on!

Including her mini BFF




Husband even got to go!!! Hooray!!! And catch up on all things trapping and hunting :)


Maybe my most favorite picture they sent.... she LOVES her family fierce and I know it meant SO MUCH to her that they all came to support!!! So thankful!
