Thursday Tidbits!

• I have been quite neglectful of my blog this summer. I have no good reason why just haven't been much in the 'writing' mood. We have had some very rough weeks lately and I will be glad when life gets back to our 'normal'.

• Luke started Pre-K this week! I cannot believe my sweet BABY is in his last year of pre-school! It just doesn't seem right!

• We took Lucas up to Lokomotion in Fayetteville this past weekend to ride Go-Karts! We had a lot of fun, it was such a pretty day. He rode one time with daddy.

• Then he got to drive himself! He did SO good!

• We also had his last day in his last class a few weeks ago. He was excited to take flowers to all his teachers. You can tell he's had a hair cut since then and it was 'water day' hence the swim attire. ha!

• Waiting on Mema to come!

• Cute new Toms! I knew Lucas would like these because of the 'cheatas' but he really likes to talk about the skunks just as much. haha so funny!  

• The weather has been beautiful the past few days. I love how chilly it is in the mornings and it makes me SO excited for fall!

• But we still have one last summer hoorah before I can get into full fall mode and that is our trip to Disney and the beach coming up! Only 43 days left!!

• That's all I got! It's going to be a tough weekend for our family. I am just ready to get through it and start a new week.

Cousins eat Cake!

Strawberry short cake that is!

Two happy boys :)

Thursday Tidbits!

• I can't believe it's already Thursday again! This summer is going by so fast!! This week feels like a deja vu of last week that's for sure, Brent's been out of town and Luke and I have been going to school/work and swimming and watching t.v. Summer time musts :)

• I am counting down the days until we leave for Branson! 12 days!! Can. Not. Wait.

• I didn't post anything about our weekend. We didn't do a whole lot but we did go see Turbo and we got Netflix!

Chopping veggies and watching t.v. so awesome!

• Let me just say I am loving Netflix! I'm sad we didn't do this sooner. I've been watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager (hate me) and I just love watching a bunch of episodes in a row and I'm finding movies I'd never heard of! Just wish there was a 'Lifetime' move section! ha!

• I know you are thinking wow this girl needs a life. LOL!

• I got this pretty picture of Cooper last night. He is such a sweet dog and Lucas' best friend.

• Pool time is the best!

                I had no idea that this whale was going to be so big! It looks hilarious in our little pool!  

• I made Luke some Kool-Aid the other day because I don't think he'd ever had it before. I had forgotten how seriously yummy kool-aid is! And brings me back to my childhood.

• Got to see sweet Emmy the other night. She is growing so fast!

• My flower bed is looking so good with all this rain! My hydrangeas are loving it!  

That's all I got! Happy Thursday!

Wordless Wednesday!

This sweet little boy has been keeping me company while his daddy is out of town this week. 

Lately he has been playing alone for long periods of time in the evening and it is truly bitter sweet. I love to see him grow but he will always be my baby :)

A Few {More} Fun Pics!

Some more summer pictures I didn't want to leave hangin :)

Lucas had his tball party last week! We had such a fun time at the little Lake in town.

We have made some fun friends at tball! Hoping to be on the same team next year!

We've also had fun taking the mustang out and about! Brent even put it on the racetrack this past weekend to see how fast it could go!

We went to a fun party at Brent's bosses house! Lots of yummy food and pool time!

Both these two love shrimp and crab!

Eating cake and ice cream at Uncle Jason's birthday party with friends!

Holding sweet baby Emmy! Look at that skirt! ha!

Dirty little boy at the racetrack!

Last day of swimming lessons! He was the only boy in his class but didn't seem to mind at all :)

Even got a trophy!

I went to a painting party with my work girls! I painted this for Luke's room.

It was tons of fun and I can't wait to do it again!

Helping daddy peel shrimp for the bbq!

Playing Catch Up!

I haven't said a whole lot around these parts lately but that doesn't mean we don't have a lot going on. Could be the sign of to much happening :)
