My life over the weekend and in to this week...

Isn't this a crazy picture!! It's not recent, it's from the 4th of July....but thought it fit how these raccoons have been acting lately!!! They have been wound up like tops and haven't slowed down at all!!! Should have seen them in church yesterday!!! I'm sure the people behind us were glad they weren't the one's going home with the boy's!!!!!!! And to top it off, Case has been on a "Dukes of Hazzard" marathon...I cannot tell you how many times we have watched the shows that Jim recorded for him!!!! HE LOVES THEM!!! And he told me a couple days ago he wants to be Cooter for Halloween...you know, the guy on the show that not only works on cars, but can hot wire them too!!! Great!!!

Happy Birthday Case!!!

My baby is 5 today...has it really been 5 years since we were at the hospital waiting on his arrival...has it really been 5 years since he would cry all day, never nap, and rarely slept at night....has it really been 5 years since Hayden became a big brother...has it really been 5 years since we fell in love with this beautiful baby...I still am...


We had his birthday pre-party this morning before Hayden got on the bus and daddy went to work...about 6:15am...he has been waiting patiently to open the huge box that has had his name on it for over a week!

Kansas State Fair...


Well, we're back from the State Fair...it was great! The boy's had their tractor pull event for Nationals...although they did not place, they did a great job!! Momma and daddy could not be more proud! They were content receiving a hat, pin, and ribbon for their efforts! The number of kids participating was unreal and it did take a while to get through the event!!! 

Enjoy the pics...

Happy Birthday to Kent...my one-of-a-kind brother-in-law...

Today is Kent's birthday...my sister's husband.  He's a great guy and fits in to our crazy family like a glove...from the moment my family met him, it seemed he had already been a part of it for years!!
He's very funny and loves to play jokes on people and loves my sister like there's no tomorrow...he has the boy's call him uncle T'bone...and they do...

goodbye summer...

We have had a wonderful, busy summer! We were fortunate to have taken several trips all over, enjoyed a music festival, celebrated a rainy 4th of July...in which Jim and I celebrated 17 years together since we first started dating...seeing my brother and sister...I love them so, and hate that they live so far away from their big sis!!  The boy's did a lot of traveling back and forth from the lake down the road from us...we would get there at 10:00am...swim, have lunch, swim, and leave around 12:00pm...
Goodbye summer, we love you...see you next year...you're our most wonderful time of year...

 

*picture is of Kinsey, Riley, Hayden and Case...all four very good buddies...
