I Wanna Soak Up The Sun..

Hello Summer- Sweet Sun-Shiny Goodness!! All I wanna do is lay out, grill out, and eat snow- cones!! :)

Life in our neck-of-the-woods continues to be busy, and like I said before, unless I take actual pictures of events, it’s usually all a blur, so lucky for you- here’s what I got!! Way back in May, on the 20th to be exact, Addi had her end of the year school program, as she has every other year. The only difference this year, was that bubba was an attendee instead of a participant. Man, was that weird!!

Princess and Talan were up first! We all enjoyed seeing the program in action, as we’ve had to listen to her “songs” for months now. Things like Ho-Ho-Ho-Hosanna! Ha-Ha-Ha-Hallelujah! He-He-He-He Saved Us!! :)

Looking forward to next year.. Addi’s LAST year before Kindergarten!! {wow!}

The following Friday was T-ball of course, but afterwards we headed to Philip & Ashley’s to celebrate Smashley’s 30th Birthday!!!

A brief look back, at our imperfect PERFECT friendship..

Technically her 30th wasn’t until Sunday the 23rd, but when she gave us the “ok” to celebrate, we celebrated - Fiesta Style!! Shredded pork & beef tacos, guacamole, and margarita’s..STRONG margarita’s!! :)

The next morning, bright & early, Matt and I had to be in Harleton for The Rangers final tournament of the season.

Earlier in that week, Brennan continuously fought a high fever off and on, and on that Thursday he broke out in Roseola!!

      IMG_1365 IMG_1366 God Love Him.. Is that not just the worst?! Thankfully, it only lasted a couple of days!!

Brennan {of course} made All-Stars, so luckily were not quite finished with T-ball just yet. His first game is next Friday, and he’s already started a rigorous practice schedule {yes, he’s 6!} Diana’s serious about their T-ball!! (ha, as is his CaCa!!)

On Sunday, we spent the day moving  the Funder5 into their new house..well, really Matt helped move.. I.. soaked up the sun!! :) But geez.. check out their pool, who could blame me?!

pretty. super. nice.

The next week’s a blur (hence no pictures) I’m sure we ate alot, we went to Athens to visit pop and pick up a boat one night, hung out @ The Funder5’s and tried out the hot tub one night, ate some more, and on Sunday, Matt and I headed to lake Fork to meet up with Cody & Mel!

IMG_1405

IMG_1406 This day was very important to Brennan.. it would be his FIRST tubing experience!! :)

Brennan LOVED it, as we knew he would!! Sadly the tub (one handed down from Cody & I’s lake days) had a slow leak in it, so Cody made a “single-rider-rule” for the remainder of the afternoon!!

IMG_1439 Cody WORN out!! :)

IMG_1470 Our Captains..and useless Matt..

We headed back to shore to rest, drop off a few passengers and pick up a few more. While we were out tubing, Missy & Addi had arrived, and were anxious to come aboard, but before we went out for another round, bubba just HAD to show Addi his new “trails” he had found on the golf cart. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this next picture, it’s to a tee, that old saying.. a picture’s worth a 1000 words..

IMG_1473

Mel & Missy and I were waiting in the boat for the boys to come back, and I just happened to snap this picture, at the perfect timing, because little did we know what had just occurred…

Cody: a little pissed, but calm, has the “smirk”..

Addi: The WORLD has come to an end, and it’s all bubba’s fault! Cry before someone blames ME!

Brennan: I’m not saying a word.

Matt: LOVIN life, basking in the children’s “secret” and can hardly contain himself to keep it!

The reality: Brennan wrecked the golf cart with his 3 year old sister aboard! wrecked into a fence, locked up the wheels, the golf cart will not run, wrecked! {thankfully, they were ok} wowzers..

IMG_1475Missy & the pleasant princess

IMG_1474 I swear, if we have no children, she’s payback enough!! ;)

IMG_1477 sometimes it’s just best to just.. go to sleep! Look at that baby’s “injury”..

All in all, it was a wonderful day at the lake! Cody & Mel are now in the process of  buying Pop’s boat, so I see many a more tubing weekends for us all in the future! Good Times, Good Times..

IMG_1479

Monday was Memorial Day, and Matt, Clay, his dad, and Seaney boy Richardson, woke up to play golf in the wee hours of the morning. (craziness) Mik picked me up that afternoon, and we all headed over to MeeMaw & PawPaw’s to spend the day on the lake..soaking up some more sun!! :) Sadly I got not a one picture!

This week has been crazy busy in the apartment world, and I’m sooo happy it’s a short week, and that tomorrow’s Friday!! No plans for this weekend as of yet, {This means make some, Ash & Gin!!} but you can bet, I’ll Wanna Soak Up The Sun!! :)

Until Next Time! Have a good one!!
