The Whole Month of August:)

Ok so summer flew by WAY to fast!! I started back to school August 10th, but enjoyed myself up to the very last minute!
Grant and I spent quite a few days at the Club Campbell pool! Here is Addi and Kennedi ready to go jump in. Grant was supposed to be in the picture, but was standing at the door yelling "outside, outside" instead.
Here is a quick video of my amazing child who can already swim, that is with the help of about 20 different floatation devices...



Monica, a.k.a Auntie Mo/my sister, invited Grant and I to come spend our last few days of our summer vacation with her and her fam! It was fabulous! I got to go to one of their neighborhood pools everyday with Emma to become some bronze beauties!!



My brother Todd and his boys, Michael and Steven, were there two of the nights that we were! Which was fun, UNTIL....


Every adult decides they have somewhere they have to be and you get stuck with a 11, 10, 7, 3, and 18 month old to get up, dressed, fed, bags for the day packed, shoes on, and buckled in the car to take swimming. Then when you get to your mom's friends house with the amazing backyard and pool, the 3 year old is running around the edge to scared to get in while I am terrified he will fall in, and the 18 month old thinks he is actually 18 years old and can jump in and swim without assistance while the 11, 10, and 7 year olds are doing back flips and cannonballs off the diving board! Don't worry though, some more adults showed up about 40 minutes later when the 10 year broke out in hives and needed to go in for a shower, while the rest of the children chased geese in the backyard! No I'm not bitter!:)


I will say the drive to the pool made it better! We cranked the radio to some Fergie and danced the whole way there!




THE CHILDREN, a.k.a my son and wonderful nieces and nephews..





Chasing geese...




CHUCK E. CHEESE

Precious Hope was sweet enough to take Grant through the climbing tunnel slide thingy...




Monica and I after doing the dance machine game thing 3x's in a row...

Nieces, nephews, and cousins...
Kado, Hope, Brooke, Thumper, Michael, Steven, Lexi, Emma, and Grant

Road trip to Uncle T and Aunt Mindy's house, just me Emma and Grant. We made a quick stop at Target to buy some sunglasses and then decided we couldn't go empty handed to see sweet Gracelyn...


Grant talking to either Mimi or daddy, anyone to keep him from screaming....

Yes we were driving down the interstate, Monica don't freak out!



Ok for those of you who don't know I totally grew up on a farm, and am a complete farm girl! Not really, I did grow up on a farm though, but don't know much about what happened on it:) Anyway, while we were at Trent's Grant and I spent Saturday morning at my dad' s house. Grant had the BEST time! Here is dad getting Grant his little bucket of feed...





Here is Grant helping to feed the calves....

I really do LOVE horses!! I tell Beau all the time to buy me enough land so I can have a couple of horses to play with!!

You can tell in this pic that Grant is focused on something...

it would be on this tractor. Dad thought that he would enjoy riding in it, but Grant crawled up in this wagon, sat down, and kept saying "no, no, bye bye, bye bye"


He loves to climb







The outfit Emma and I got Gracelyn...She is so darn cute!!!




COUSIN THATCHER CAME TO STAY WITH US!!! I am yelling this because it was that much fun!!!!! It makes me sad to see all these pics of him because we miss him so much!

Every night he would lay with beau to watch his "shows" before he went sweetly to bed!
Mitzy sent these adorable personalized t-shirts with their names!!! Love it!!
We played A LOT outside, and always had to take a break for a capri sun and Popsicle...




On a walk at our park around the lake....Playing at the park...Chasing ducks... Last night Beau and I had a date night with our good friends Chris and Tammy! We had soooo much fun. We didn't even eat dinner until 7:30, and then went to a movie at 9:50, and got home at 1:20 in the am:)!!! To some of you that might not sound unusual, but for us it was crazy! A usual night for us is dinner around 5 (sometimes 4:30), and bed by 9! Embarrassing, yes! I love you beau and had a Great time on our date!!





This was actually just taken about an hour ago!! I got some of him smiling sweetly, but this expression seemed to match the outfit! He was dressed and ready to go look at some cows and goats with daddy at one of our friends farms! He LOVES to go out there!!

Well there you have it August wrapped up in a day!! I need to get better at this again, but at least I am doing it some!! Love you all
