We know... it's been awhile.

We've had an Amazing, Busy, Chlorine Filled, Terrific, Summer.

{wish it wasn't over}

Boys Day Out

Today Donnie and Nate attended the Lucas Oil Off Road Races.  It was the ultimate Guy Day, complete with Ice Cream, Monster Trucks, Dust, Dirt, and a very happy Father and Son.

When they returned home, the boys were really excited to share their pictures with us.  While showing them to Gracie, Donnie said, "Maybe next time sweetie you'll come with us."  

Gracie replied, "No WAY, not EVER, I am NOT going There!!!"

That's my GIRL.

Happy May Day!!!

To you.

on this day, two years ago...

Why...

Why do they have to grow us so darn fast?

biking and boating

A perfect Sunday.

Garage Selling with Gracie

Gracie Mae scored the Deals of the Century at our community garage sale.  Armed with only $4.00 she set out with me on her very first garage sale adventure.

First deal of the day... a brand new in the box, all accessories included, Easy Bake Oven, $2.50!!!!

The cake was delicious!!!

Two Terra Cotta Pots ~ $1.00...

painted and decorated for Nate's Best Buddy...

and our Favorite Kindergarten Teacher! 

She also bought a hawaiian shell necklace for me for only .50cents!!!

We had so much fun shopping together.

Art Show

Gracie's elementary school hosted an Art Show last week, showcasing art from the entire school.

The girls were very excited to show off their lovely butterflies.

Gracie named her butterfly "Lili Loo Lollipop" (after a sweet classmate???).  We love it and can't wait to hang "Lili" up at home.  I especially like how she tried to sign her name in cursive... soooo grown-up!

For the boys... art may be more of an acquired taste that they haven't quite grown into.
