The look on Marley's face!

Weekly Update

Room changing has been crazy around here!

 

The butterfly is getting a new space.

It need lots of work.

 

Good thing this guy puts up all

of my crazy ideas

It's coming along nicely.

Gone with the Wind

while I work on orders.

 

I love Gone with theWind.

 

We started hosting some

paint your own sign workshops.

I was nervous at first, but I really

enjoy doing them and hanging out

with everyone.

The Olympics have been going on

in full force around here.  Cody loves

watching them just as much as I do.

School starting back up means

I can get back to butterfly business.

 

I needed lots of materials!

I cooked a ton of freezer meals one day.

These save me on those crazy busy days!

Rylee has been practicing his

bow shooting.  He has a tournament

coming up and is really nervous about it.

 

Breakfast in bed from my skinny.

He's the omelet master.

Cody started football!

Not sure how I feel about it yet.

He really likes it though.

Kade has been semi trying to

look for a job.  He wants the money

but doesn't want to put forth much

effort to find one.  I guess I would

be trying to enjoy my last job free summer too.

 

running pups

The boys had a shot gun shooting

event out at Camp Don.

 

 

 

 

Cowboy Game with Gramps

It's finally Cowboy game

weekend for Cody and Grandpa!

 

They planned every thing out

weeks ago.  Cody said he would be

in charge of road trip snacks.  Ha Ha!

He has been waiting all summer

for this!  So excited!

They left early Friday and stopped

for some lunch in Grapevine

at The Rainforest Café.

 

Dad doesn't go to The Rainforest

without ordering the super

huge nachos.

and he clears his plate every single time.

The game was that evening.

It was dads first time to see

them play in the new stadium.

 

 

On Saturday they were

headed to Six Flags.

They didn't let the rain and

cool weather slow them down.

 

 

I have a feeling they took lots

of snack breaks!

 

Cody had SUCH a great time!

I am so glad they got to do this

together.  He talks about it all the

time and says it was his favorite

trip he's ever been on.  They have

a lot of inside jokes and very special

memories from this weekend.

 

Randomness

Cody is so excited for the

Cowboys game at the end of

the summer.  He just had to have

this set of Cowboys goodies to

start school.

 

Rylee was voted in to join

Order of the Arrow by his

peers in Scouts.

 

It is a very big deal!

It's a national honor society

for scouting.

 

It is top secret unless you

are a member.  He's not even

allowed to talk about what they do.

 

This weekend he goes to a

campout at Camp Don where

he will go through his initiation.

All we knew was he needed to carve

a little arrow and take minimal

camping gear.

 

 

My tomato plants have just

been big fat duds this year. 

I think I am just going to

give up on them.

 

 

 

Tent set up for the

Order of the Arrow camping night.

 

These are the boys Rylee went

through his ordeal with.

(that's what they call it)
