Life Lately - Summer Fun and My Birthday

Sunday
These kids got called on stage to help Pastor Richard with his sermon 
Helping demonstrate forgiveness and how you have to let go!
It was also a sad day because it was Richard's last day with us!

Monday 
Pierce and Caleb headed to golf camp and loved it!
When I picked him up, he said "I wish I could call Granddaddy and tell him all about it" 
Boys with their golf bags 
That afternoon we went swimming with the Fazzios while Isaiah was in town 
The three amigos in the neighborhood

Tuesday
We took a day trip with some church friends to Simply Natural Creamery 
Playing checkers on the porch 
Sweet little friends 
Taking the tour - it was wet so we had to walk instead of ride 
Petting the baby calves 
Ella was trying to rub a frisky one who kept jumping 
Kelly found a pregnant friend 
Milking the cow 
Ella, Mattox and Madi Grace all trying to milk the cow 
Touring the milking station - it was all very interesting

We ended with a picnic lunch and ice cream - it was delicious! 
We left and went to Town Commons to play at a new park - this spun round and round 
Waiting in line to zip line 
Zip Line Fun 
That night we celebrated my birthday at Mom's with dinner from Tokyo Express and presents 
I got an I Watch! 
I have been wanting one so was excited to get it - thanks Corey, Mom and Susan! 
Silly boy playing with the packaging 
Also got a monogrammed pillow for my bedroom - that is on the way 
Dessert Squares from Sugar Plumme - my favorite 
Sweet cousins - Owen had his arm around Ella
Brooklynn let me French braid her hair - she looked like such a big girl

These boys really loved golf camp 
We had the Palms over for dinner and Mrs. Janice brought a cake and Nannette brought flowers and we celebrated again!

The whole crew - we love when the Palms are in town and we get to visit 
We had a water balloon fight - these three were up to no good 
Wonder where these three get it from ?  They made a Jacuzzi in the wheel barrow 
4 wheeler riding with Caleb, Luke, Isaiah and Elijah 
Sweet friends who don't get to see each other often but pick right up when they do
