It was a low key weekend around here.  Jim and I worked on yard projects, fixing mowers and gardening.  

Which is why I had to live vicariously through everyone else. 

Tatum had tickets to the stampede through her work (I think).  She and Cameron attended all the days. They ended  up in the rain on Thursday and got soaked.  Saturday they drug Mallory along for the ride.  

It looks like fun, but also in my “advanced age” looks like a place to avoid at all costs.  I’m glad they had fun  i am glad I stayed home.  

Cameron also participated in the corporate tug of war tournament.  His team didn’t have as much weight as they could have, and basically took a spanking.  He said this is his last year for this event.  

Sunny went to Tulsa to visit Preston and they went to the aquarium.  I had been telling Preston what a great aquarium it is - especially when you consider it is in the middle of landlocked Oklahoma!  Preston told me that they were really impressed with it.  I’d go back. I loved it! 

Spencer told me that Easton has a tooth that they can see but it isn’t through the gums yet.  He was a bit crabby this weekend. But he got to gnaw on his first steak!  That’ll fix it!  

He’s so close to being on the move!  

Mallory said she had a great time with Cameron and Tatum. It makes me happy when they voluntarily hang out together.  

I’m not sure where Cameron got the cowboy hat. Boy is crazy. 

I’m excited that this is a short week.  I am excited about the 4th- best holiday besides Halloween.  I’m excited that the weather is finally warm enough that pool afternoons are a thing again.  Life is good. 

 

Just pix

Seems like the last couple weeks has been consumed with ball photos.   I had some photos saved in my phone that I don’t want to lose, so I’m leaving them here.  

This photo of my little ladies’ man cracks me up. 

Cameron and Tatum went to the Stampede. Cameron happened to see his old preschool teacher (and family friend) and she sent me a photo. I love it. 

Work has been a true fiasco lately.  Law suits, easement disputes, budget time,  an audit. So yes, I sometimes have to take a second to decompress.  If you don’t laugh you cry right?  

I know I already shared this photo, but I love it.  They were deep in conversation after Saige’s last game. I’m not sure what they were discussing, but the moments where I see them acting like true friends make me happy.  

Evelyn’s ball photos.  I don’t think they are the official team photos, but the sunflower seed one is the most realistic thing I’ve ever seen. 

The girls have been going to the summer reading program.  The library at Carbondale truly has a fabulous children’s program. They have a ton of cool stuff for the kids all summer long.  This week was touch a truck and meet Chester Cheeta. Wrenley wasn’t a fan of Chester I was told!  

Cameron and Tatum went to a concert - he said it was Madison’s.  I love that they are having such a fun summer together.  

Amy took some cute photos at her daycare.  Lawson is getting so big!  And he is going to be a big brother.  We are so excited!  

Our first month of summer break went by in a flash.  We have been enjoying the more relaxed schedules.  It’s weird that it is a few days until July starts.  Slow down summer!  

 

Colin, Easton, Saige

Today is Colin’s 28th birthday.  I cannot tell you how proud of him I am.  He has grown into a fine man.  He is a good husband, a good dad and a has a job he loves.  The life he is building is happy and amazing.  

Today Easton is 6 months old.  He is a joy to our lives.  It is crazy how fast half a year can fly by!   

I love them both (and Spencer too). 

Happy birthday and happy half birthday to my boys! 

Saige’s team won their tournament tonight.  This means they were both the league champions as well as the tournament champions.  

This team was pretty fun to watch. Yea they are goofy and mess around a lot, but they are also competitive, worked hard and played pretty well together.  

This game ends summer ball season for this year.  It was a good season and I’m glad we did it.  I’m also sort of ok with reclaiming our evenings.
