Goodbye Summer.......



Here's our August! 


For our anniversary, the boys went off to Beba & Bompa's.....

We had some time with the girls.....

& then we had fun! 
Course 1: Charcuterie with margs

Course 2: Tequila sunrise

(which was better stirred)
.....with grilled cheese tacos filled with steak and mexican street corn

There was a course 3 but we were getting full, so we moved on to course 4: chocolate covered strawberries with espresso martinis!

We had a part 2 celebration for dinner the next night! Bacon filet with asparagus, mac n' cheese leftovers and whiskey sours!

Time for fishing to get crossed off the summer list!

The dog 😂

Seth went to "basketball camp" where we LEFT him (for the first time everrrrrrr) for the whole morning, Monday-Friday! Every day someone earned a gatorade so he was pretty stoked to have "won" one day! 

Kylie told me one day "My foot is all better, can we take the boot off?" So we made a countdown chain for our doctor appointment!

Bompa gave away his TY collectibles!

(Lucas got one too, he just didn't want a picture LOL)

We all made it through basketball week! LOL

Daddy upgraded!

😂😂😂

If someone isn't home, this is where she is watching and waiting LOL

Fireworks!

An unintentional spicy breakfast smile LOL

She went through a spiderman phase 😂

Since the boys had a sleepover on our Anniversary, the girls asked to have one, too. We decided we'd go for it because sleepovers for them in the past never went well and it's something they should be used to for when we need it! This turned into an impromptu date with the boys!

When I got back from dropping the girls off all the boys were wearing a red shirt, so I threw one on! 



& a movie night!

What you put on my phone is my property! 😂

I looked out of the kitchen window one day 
and saw Slinger had come to say hello!

The last two weeks of summer are crunch time! Time for a golf date with my parents that we planned back at Father's Day LOL 

Every time my mom would hit her ball and then I would, my ball would go right where hers was - and vice versa when I went first, too! LOL

& then this happened when we were all putting LOL

Leaving Mia was iffy but she couldn't care less when I got back home 😂

Our church had a "water fun day" for the boys so we took the girls to the Children's Museum.....

& some ice cream 😎

😂😂😂😂😂

When they've been in the basement with Daddy & come up like this.....the random carrot in Mia's hand 😂

It was truly just one adventure after another all month.....😬🙄

Music is life around here!

Time for the boys to go on their first ever camping trip 
(that isn't in the back yard!)

& while the boys are away, the girls will play!

I gave them both a makeover with MY makeup & it was a peak into my future that I wasn't ready for! LOL

Mommy's night!

Mia got her sword out to protect me from the bubbles!

Time for new family memories.......

Literally & figuratively filled my cup ❤


We've got a brewing ballerina! Look at those toes! 

Kylie's turn!

Lucas' creation!

SHE DID IT! So proud of this girl! 

When things get lost behind the oven.......

.....aaaaaaand then the kids all got sick!

Daddy & I did batch #2 because I couldn't stare at all the apples that were still left at the top of the tree knowing they would go to waste (we can't eat them fast enough once they drop).

We had a sick bystander getting fresh air and stealing apples!

Goodbye summer! 

The kids had shared their germs (a great way for Mommy & Daddy to start the school year), but we weren't going to miss out on our last night of summer! Daddy said it was the best summer ever and I have to agree! Not being a slave to anybody, school work or job schedules is absolutely indescribable! Being with my best friend every single day? 👐 I know we get it good in the summer but when reality hits in the fall, it's HARD! 

Let the countdown begin 😂
