Back To School

Back To School!

4th and 6th Grade

here we come...

 

 

 

 

What?!? Last week of Summer!

Morning selfies were a must!

Especially during the last week of summer. 

Spent some alone time with Cody!

Bdubs and grocery shopping. 

Which do you think was his favorite?

We also got some alone time with

This sweet girl.  She loved on us and loved on us!  There were lots of kisses shared. 

How could you not love that smile!?!

The boys mowed grandpas yard for him this week.  They told me if he tried to pay them they would stick the money back in his underwear drawer.  HaHa!  They make me so proud!  

This pretty girl would stay in bed all day if you let her.  

Meet the teacher night!

I HATE that school is starting. 

We have had a GREAT summer!

I know the boys are getting older and I hate it!

I think weena knows we are fixing to leave and she isn't going this time. 

She's been extra bratty. 

It's almost football time!!

This will be James last year to play for OSU.  Really excited for it, but sad it's our last year to watch him.  

My boys!

They open my door for me ~ escort me in any time we are going in a store ~ bring me coffee in bed ~ AND pick pretty flowers for me and put them in my hair!

I am one lucky mom!

This last picture sums up almost our whole summer!

We spent lots of afternoons snuggled up all in my bed watching movies.

Where did our summer go??

We are in single digits for our

Jamaica Trip!

In 8 days we will be heading

to spend 7 glorious days at

this place!



 

We are beyond ready and way

beyond excited!

Everything is Jamaica...

Even my coffee.  :)

 

 

Cousins came to play for
a couple of days this week.
The boys loved every minute
of it.  I even got to hold
sweet sweet Brynlee!
Without. Her. Crying. 
She really loves me now!
We spent lots of time together.

We picked our first

cucumber and are

still getting bowls full

of tomatoes every day.

 

I love it!  I'm going to miss

gardening when the fall comes.

Carrots are tricky!

How do you know when they

are ready to be picked?

How do you know if there

is even anything growing under

those beautiful green tops?

 

Rylee just couldn't wait any longer

he had to peek at just one.

And look!!...

They are growing!!

We have had lots of little grasshopper
visitors these last few days.

One of the things I kept reading

before starting our garden

was that tomatoes love

to be planted with marigolds.

So I planted marigolds from seed

in every corner of our garden.

Look how they have grown!

They are out growing my

tomato plants.

 

I think next year I might

plant most of my flowers from

seed.  They seem to grow

better and are WAY cheaper.

KC will like that part.

 

 

Every morning Rylee
comes and snuggles in bed
with me.  Every Morning!
We always try to sneak
in a selfie before the dogs
attack us.  Do you see me in
there?  I'm there just under all
the dogs.  Sometimes it doesn't
work so well.

 

KC saw this rainbow cloud at
work.  Strangely enough we saw
one when we were headed to his
moms funeral and then this one
exactly one week to the day later.

 

Cody found him a Coke with

his name on it!

He's been looking all summer.

 

Where in the heck has summer gone?

I tell you what...

I'm not ready for school to start!

At All!!!

We have enjoyed our lazy

summer days!

I have loved the past few
evening rain storms.
I love the rain!

 

And we have this boy!

He had friends over and ended

up staying up until 5:30 in

the morning.  One last end of

summer hoorah!  He did not want

to get up for his early morning

haircut.  Penny was just there

for moral support. She's lazy like that.

A Crazy Week

We have blooms on our

okra plants!

And little okra nubs that

you can actually

see now!

Our cucumbers are looking

really good.

We have maybe 6 that

are growing right now.

KC's mom passed away

this week.  While we didn't

have the best relationship with

her these last few years, it is

his mom and I knew

it would be rough on him.

 

We were very blessed to have

good friends Old and New

to help make things a little easier.

 

Some of KC's time off gave

us a chance to have a special

afternoon with this handsome boy.

 

 

AND we did

School Shopping!

UGH!!!

I HATE shopping!

And to top it off I picked tax

free weekend to do it.

 

I had to take a picture of Cody

saying these jeans were good.

I know on the first day he will

throw a fit and complain about

wearing them.  He would

wear shorts all day everyday

if I would let him.

 

I needed proof!

 

My little Ry picked out all

of his own stuff this year!

He knew exactly what he wanted.

If it wasn't black or blue

and striped - he wasn't interested.

He also picked these shoes.

KC was so proud of him for

picking the Vans.

 

Weirdos!

We did mark every single

thing off of our list in

just under 5 hours.

Not too bad I guess.

I'm just glad to be done!

 

We also bought Kade's school

clothes.  He is kinda sorta getting

a sense of style.  Anything his dad

likes - he likes.  So he asked us

to buy them.  I asked Cody to

hold them up so I could send

Kade pics of what we got.

 

His faces made me laugh!
