A Funky Summer

Our summer has been one that I really don't want to repeat. We have had some good times but over all it's been overwhelming. Since October when my granddaddy passed away we have attended 6 funerals. Four being this summer alone. I was telling a friend of mine that I'm ready for school to start so that things will slow down and I can rest. Kind of odd to say because it's usually the opposite.
 
We have had some good times though and one being...
 ...celebrating Jeff's 40th!
He had a few of his friends come over and they had a guys poker night at the house. He really had a great time!


 Grace had a blast at Pine Cove camp
 
 She is already talking about next year!

Jared heading out to his first youth camp.
 He had a great time! If you want to hear more about REACH Camp you can read his blog!
While Jared was gone we had a little fun too. This is Jeff and I will not tell you how long it took for him to take the plunge off the platform. Lol
 
 We had a blast and will take Jared with us next time!
And it's not really summer until you grab the old water hose and sprinkler. Lol 
 
Happy 18th Anniversary my love! (July 6th)
 
We got a call on July 9th at 8:25pm that my Grandmother had cancer and they gave her 48hrs. Shocked is all I can say.
I along with all of my family and Tj making a rushed trip back from Florida to spend the next several days with her. You were such a wonderful grandmother to us. We will miss you until we see you again.
 
We are loaded up and heading to VBS!
 
Kids enjoyed it this year but is was exhausting. Celebrating making it through the week with ice cream cake!
Thursday morning I got a call that my Great Uncle (Granny's brother) passed away. He lived in Monroe La. so we stopped and took a few pictures.
Picture with the famous and largest duck call.
 
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
 
What in the world is that nose outside? Yay we get a new road! Finally!
 
 And as I type this these two are having a blast at my Aunt Peggy and Uncle Don's house. Grace called me tonight with such excitement! She went and got her first pedicure and a box of fake fingernails! lol I think Aunt Peggy is having fun having a girl in the house!

We are starting to get ready for the up coming school year and we are excited to embark on a new journey this year with the boys! Caden starts football August 4th!! Wow!! Go Bobcats!!!

No Excuses

I have no excuse for me not posting. I could find the time but I've been lazy... So I apologize (Mom & Dad). Over the past few weeks have been difficult, we lost a good friend and his son. They were killed in an automobile accident, but still no excuses. So this is my catch up post. Mainly, picture post ;)

Easter 2014 

At Children's. I asked her if I could take a picture to show her later on just how well she did with the IV in her arm. Yes this is the same child the ER had to hold down with sheets wrapped around her and that also take four adults to hold her down for a shot. Children's Hospital staff is so wonderful! We go back July 23rd
 School Easter party
 
 Took my boys out of school for the day...as you can see we really had a great time!
 
 Pine Cove work weekend
Jared loves going every year 
even though they are there to serve others!

 Grace was not feeling well one day after school and her best friend was worried about her. :)

We also went on a fun scavenger hunt to keep our minds somewhat distracted from our very sad morning we just had.
