First day of his Senior Year

How is my very last baby boy a Senior?!?

And Rylee's first year in College.

He's already gone through most of his

basics through High School.

This semester he will finally be

going to in person classes at AC.

These two hate sharing the bed.

HATE!

But neither one of them will give in to the other.

They are very stubborn.

When Ellie does this with her blankets,

we call her our Sith Lord.

She is our Sith Lord a lot!

Red River

I'm not sure how this happened,

but these are the only photos I have from

a friend filled long weekend in Red River.

I don't even know what happened to the rest.

So, here's a photo of Kristen and myself

enjoying a glass of wine at the winery.

And one of KC holding a

hummingbird on his finger.

The hummingbirds were insane!

July Photo Dump

It's hot! and Mama needed a pool!

We set up a tiny one in the shop and I love it!

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

I'm in it most evenings.

And it's even better when you add a cocktail.

Ellie is always our biggest explorer.

Frame is going up for my

new office in the shop!

We finally decided what we wanted to do

with the inside walls of the shop.

It looks so good!

And KC got the pool table from Meme.

It was his Papaw's table and the one he

grew up playing on.

It's also already a big hit

in the shop.

KC and the crew went to

see the Dirty Heads at Red Rocks.

We popped sooooo many fireworks out

at the Lavender's and had a nice 4th of July.

We spent a day at the lake with

The Lavender's.  Their daughter and her

family came down and brought their boat.

KC tried out wake surfing.

He was really good once he caught on.

June Photo Dump

Just a little boy gazing out the window.

We're getting back going on the shop.

We had so many problems with permits

and inspections.  Our builders said they will

never do another build inside the city limits again.

They are from out of town and we

were their first Amarillo build.

Insulation and the metal siding went up!

And then the trim!

It looks so good!!!

KC's sister came through town with her kiddos

and mom.  I was sick, but he showed them around town

and made dinner for them.

Kade also came through and

everyone got to meet Silas.

Red River

We took the fam to Red River for

our family vacation this year.

You can't walk through town and not

visit the Candy Crate for fudge.

I was shocked that Rylee wanted to play

Frisbee Golf.  This is the same shot he broke

his arm on last time.

And we played lots and lots of pool

while we were there.

We had very chilly and rainy weather for June.

I loved it!

And then it cleared up and we were

able to take the kayaks out on the lake.

Inspections. Inspections. Inspections.

I just want to get this thing done.

Did a little patio path and of course

Little Miss Ellie Beans had to check it out.

This is what 19 years looks like!

Married for 19 years?!?  What??

We did our favorite and had some drinks

around the fire pit.

Freedom graduated this year!
