Monday
We took Ella's sponge rollers out to see how curly her hair was
Playing with water beads first thing
Ready for the day and excited about her curls
We made a quick grocery run for some eclipse supplies before heading to church so I could work
Back home and watching the eclipse
Party with the Stones - Sun Drop and Moon Pies
The boys were interested in the moon - unlike the girls who said it wasn't "their thing"
Me and Staci thought it was pretty cool
Thanks to Mammy for getting our glasses in last minute and rushing around to make sure we all had them!
Pierce stayed to play and the water beads kept them busy
We made some pom poms - another birthday gift
Caleb and I snuck away for a late bike ride - Ella can't hang!
Tuesday
Kids came down and fell back asleep in my bed and slept late!
What do they want to play with? Water beads - they can't get enough!
Donuts for breakfast
We made a quick Target run and this made us think of Crawford so we sent him a quick picture "Squad Goals". He calls them his squad.
I told them they could pick to do whatever they wanted - after I said no to Disney and Great Wolf Lodge, they settled on Chuck E Cheese!
Ella loved the riding ones
Trying to win tickets
With their prizes - sucker, bracelets and cotton candy
We took dinner to the Hutchens and Ella was so excited to hold Carter
Snapping a picture with the baby hog!
Now there are 5 little friends!
Wednesday
Ella asked to use her birthday gift card so we headed to Panera for lunch for her fav - broccoli soup in a bread bowl
Movie and some ice cream that afternoon
That night we headed to Mini Putt in Rocky Mount with church friends
Silly girls flew thru putt putt
Trying to get it in the hole
Daddy came too! Caleb was excited because he has been working alot
Group picture
This boy hit the jackpot on tickets
Game time with Leah
Tickets kept coming
More riding for Ella
Leah hit the jackpot
This place was a lot more affordable and had way better prizes than Chuck E Cheese!
Thursday
We spent the morning at home cleaning the upstairs - including toys and clothes
We made a quick Chickfila run in our PJs for breakfast
That afternoon the kids had well check ups - both are growing great!
Dr. Buck said if Caleb kept growing like he is now he could be 6'3" or 6'4" when he is full grown.
Then we headed to School Open House to meet the teachers
Grayson, Caleb and Connor were glad to see they were all together this year
Ella at her desk - she was excited her teacher had bags of gumballs for everyone!
With her friend Madysen from last year
Her teacher Mrs. Deans, Ella kept saying how sweet she was
Caleb was pumped to have Mrs. Hunt again (He had her for 1st grade too!)
Thursday night we headed to the lake for some Raynor Family Fun
We ended the night with some cards
Sweet little babies asleep in the bed together
Friday
These 3 were up bright and early
They had to go wake Mammy up!
Ready for a boat ride
Watching Caleb kneeboard and ski
We stopped to explore Goat Island
Mammy and her sweet darlings
On the dock
Swimming and Caleb relaxing
Fishing - we did a lot of that this weekend! Granddaddy would be proud!
Owen loved the water!
Sweet little cousins - these two are best buddies lately!
Feeding the fish bread and watching them swim to the surface
Relaxing in the hammock
We came in for lunch and Owen crashed like this
More fishing!
Caleb caught a bunch!
Ella got one!
Owen was excited to catch some too!
Dinner on the porch - pork, potatoes and peas
Cousins enjoying their dinner too
A little more fishing - these two were reeling them in
Enjoying their smores
Kent and Owen by the campfire!
Saturday
Caleb and Corey took the boat out fishing that morning
Then we all rode to see the big catfish
and feed the ducks
We all got ice cream!
This gazebo had sprinklers all around it and the kids enjoyed running in and out
Hanging out on the back of the boat
Ready to ride back
Relaxing
Caleb caught a huge catfish off the end of the pier
We spend the afternoon swimming - this boy had a good time - can you tell?
Jumping in the water together
Silly cousins
Sunday
We got prepared for back to school - can't believe the summer is over!
