A happy place Sunday


It is no surprise that I love chaos.  I love having all my kids home, love cooking for everyone, visiting with everyone, hanging out together and catching up.  And I love when all my kids are in one place. It doesn't happen all that often.  Which is why days like yesterday are my absolute favorite!  
We started out the day with mowing!  The neighbor has me completely paranoid.  Jim got the mower running, and I started out early to beat down the grass so that we can see the rattle snakes before they see us!  From there, Colin and Spencer came out to the house.  We fed goats, and cut branches because our hay has not shown up quite yet.  We had some breakfast and then headed out to Wrenley's 3rd birthday fishing party! 
The girl was so excited!  She had water guns, fishing, bbq food, presents and cake!  What else could a girl want? 


This child loves big.  She was having so much fun and is also a little bit ornery!  She reminds me so much of Quincy and Saige at that age.  Ornery grin, sweet girl!






After the Wrenley birthday fiesta, the kids all came out to the house to swim, do fireworks, and eat.  A delayed 4th of July party.  
 I made a cake for Quincy's birthday, and got a couple of birthday photos!  

Easton is a happy baby!  I love it!

As you might recall, last time the kids were all home, there was a football accident and Spencer is just now starting to walk again from that incident.  So when I went out to see the kids hanging in the pool, and see my sons doing back flips off of each other's shoulders, and chicken fighting with their girlfriends on their shoulders, I was a bit concerned.  Tatum might have a sore back today from carrying Cameron, but other than that, no injuries happened (thank God).  













Wrenley running away from smoke balls, and asking us to help her cover her ears was cracking me up!


Clayton was having a little too much fun with roman candles.  

No tears from Easton on playing with his goat this time!  Last time, he was not a fan of Dale the goat!







































It was a too fast, but extremely fun weekend.  I am feeling extremely blessed today.  Tired, but blessed!
