Sweet Summer Sunshine Sisters

The other night at Brayden's baseball game I snapped some pics of the girls that just scream Summertime to me.  So glad Summer is finally here as of today!!!!  Woohoo!

I have a list of "to-do's" a mile long that I will start on today and then we will enjoy our time off to the fullest.  Looking forward to hanging out with my kiddos and making some wonderful memories!

Fun at the Senior Adult Rally

Monday morning Jay hosted a big Senior Adult Rally down at the camp and although I can't full participate with all the kiddos, I do try to go down there for a portion of it.  It was a production getting these TWELVE kids down there (Hazel is hiding behind Eli in the stroller), but we managed and everyone was fed too!



Brandon and his cooks fried catfish and hush puppies...yum!


We even managed some playground time too...







It's eatin' time!



Mr. Joe, one of our favorite people, works at the camp for Jay.  He is one hard-working man with a great heart!

Lunch time!

Fun day!  But I was T-I-R-E-D by the time it was over.  And all the kids slept GREAT that day...everyone was exhausted!

Mother's Day Celebration

After the birthday party, we visited the A-fair and then family came back to our house to celebrate Mother's Day since we didn't get to see our Mothers on Mother's Day (well my mom showed up at church but we didn't have her gift because we didn't know she was coming).  It was great having all of our family together!

Nonnie opening her gift from us...

Lolli opening her gift...

We got them shirts with all their grandkids' names on it.  Nonnie had 8 (one is on the way)...

Lolli had three (my kids) but hopefully next Mother's Day Matt and Tiff will have adopted and we can add to that list! :)

We had BBQ and enjoyed family time on the deck...


And this is what our house looked after getting all the gifts out haha!  


My sweet birthday girl...

Happy Mother's Day to two of my favorite people!

Lucy's 3rd and Brayden's 6th birthday parties

Since Lucy's 3rd birthday was in May and Brayden's 6th is in June, this year we decided to do a joint birthday party and have it somewhere other than home.  We had recently gone to a birthday party here at Bounz and the kids were dying to have theirs here.  So we did and the kids had a blast!

Lucy and one of her favorite people, my dad, Pop....

There was a huge room of blow-ups and Lucy managed to climb up all of them by herself and go down by herself.  I didn't think she would do the big ones, but she did over and over again!

Trey....

Karis and Timmy

Adam going down with Story...

Hazel even dropped by with her mom, Jessica....


I wanted to get more pics of the blow-ups but the lighting was terrible and quite honestly, the kids were WAY too fast for me to capture anything!




My mom even went down the big slide!

After a while in the bounce room we headed to the party room to eat and open gifts.

Ethan and Brayden

Axton and Timmy

My sweet big girl :)

Love this sweet (almost) 6 year old!

Morgan, McKenzie and Ellie

Amy and her kiddos: Oakley, Story and Meila



We had quite the panic with cupcakes.  I called to order cupcakes and NOWHERE I called could take an order because it was the weekend of graduations and everyone was booked for miles around.  So we took them to Kroger and just let them pick out whatever they wanted.  It was a combination of a bunch of different kinds but they loved getting to pick them out.  Every time we go to Walmart they want to look at them and they always say, "I want THESE for my birthday!"  So this time they got to do just that.

Since the party was at "Bounz" I packaged gumBALLS and said, "Thanks for Bounzing with us!"


It was a GREAT birthday party to celebrate my sweet kiddos.  A fun time was had by all!
