Outdoor BBall Tourney

 Saturday was the annual bball tournament in OOB... Fun to have Miss B out there with Minnie this year! 

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: July Gardens

If you know you know.... heartbreak....

 

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...

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!

 

My World All in the Same Place

In one week my girls were both on the same field/court at the SAME.EXACT.TIME. I thought my heart might literally explode.

They have NEVER been on the same soccer or basketball team in their entire lives....

Minnie passed the ball inbounds to Miss B and unfortunately didn't square those hips but it was a great pass and a great shot to take!

Oh my heart....

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: Miss B Gets a Guitar!

Rewind to seeing her classes for 8th grade and realizes she was signed up for Intro to Guitar. She BEGGED me to switch her out of it... I said "NO". You are musically gifted, you love to sing and SOMEONE has to play the guitar at a campfire... mine as well be YOU... 

SO.... she LOVED it.... and has signed up for it at the High School....

A co-worker told me about a grant program that I could apply to and try to get Miss B a FREE guitar... yes please...my request was approved and they ordered her a BRAND NEW exactly what she hoped for... acoustic guitar! Bring on the CAMPFIRES!
