See Ya Summer

Summer 2014, you have been a fun one.  Here are a few highlights from how we have spent our last few days of summer goodness.  Diane and Carolyn were in town for a few days and we so loved getting to visit with them at Papaw's.  The weather was unusually pleasant for this time of year, so we enjoyed getting to run around and play with everyone out on the patio.  Love, love, love when we are able to get together!!!!

My little crew went for ice cream and a little walk around the shops near Renaissance.  I just love spending time with these sweet people.

EK loved every minute of cheer camp.  She added (after I finished the other blog post) that her most favorite part of the whole thing was when the big football players came in and lifted all of the little girls up by their feet really high in the air.

We went to a birthday party at Pump it Up.  The kids had a ball.  They are SOOOOO different.  EK is so cautious and Walker is wide open! He really loved hanging off of the little cliff wall thing and then falling in to the pit.  He did it over and over again.  EK got to the edge but never could make the jump.

We had dinner with the Sykes crew after Kat had a soccer game in Madison on Tuesday night.  Good food.  Good friends.  Good fellowship.

We went to Christ United night at the M Braves game last week as well.  I am assuming that a baseball game was actually taking place, but J and I didn't see any of it.  The inflatables were much more entertaining for my little people, and we headed home after about the 3rd inning (I think.)  I did text my mom after we left and told her that our night at the game really served as confirmation that we indeed made the right decision to not get tickets to the State games this year.  Maybe we will be ready for that in a few years...just not this one!!!

We went to Columbus for the weekend.  J's mom and I had our semi annual shopping extravaganza to the opening of our favorite store Fashion Apparel.  We always have fun and it is kind of our "thing."  We found some CUTE things and the best part is they were all a GREAT deal!!!  Perfection!!!!  We went to swim at the Sykes house while in Columbus too.  EK convinced Hunter to lift her so she could better show us what they did at cheer camp.  And Walker, bless him.

We got to see J's grandmother as well.  The kids kept her quite entertained and she said she would be needing a nap after getting back to her house!

 My kids always LOVE spending time in the Nelson's yard.  Walker found J's old batting helmet and I could not pass up the photo opportunity!!!

This is our last week before we are in full swing school schedule mode and we have a couple more things to cram in before this summer is in the books.  This has been a good one.  Here's to hoping the second half of 2014 is just as great!
