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!!!
