All good things must come to an end...

As the end of summer creeps up on us. I have to admit it's bitter sweet! I'm happy to get those peaceful hours back, but am sad Bry is leaving back to Portland this coming Sat.

Also I will miss having my helpers around the house. They all have been very helpful this summer.

But we've had a fun filled summer. Two camping trips, a visit to the undersea garden, Oregon coast aquarium, fishing, crabbing twice, a night in a huge cabin, birthday parties, lots of sleepovers, late nights, & overall tons of fun times.
If you ask me it's been a pretty perfect summer.

I still can't believe Bethy is going into the 6th grade!! She is blossoming into a wonderful young girl!

This is also Ky's first year at school without his sister being there. He's nervous & excited. They're all growing too fast!

But I'm grateful I get to be home with them to watch & learn with them! I love my life!

I am hoping to find a hobby of my own this coming year. Kinda hoping to start roller derby, but we shall see :)

Let's see what this fall brings us

Prayers, Weddings, & Parties

This have been rather chaotic around here lately! Jeremy's grammy's health hasn't been so great lately. Within the last few months she has broken her pevlis, got a double UTI, broke her hip, & as of last night had a stroke & seiuze. So we're going to visit her in the hospital again tonight. She seems to be doing better this morning than she was when Jeremy's mama called last night. So that is a huge plus! But we're not out of the woods yet! Prayers are needed!


Also my cousin's wedding happened! Yay Matthew! I was one of the bridesmaids! Always a brides made, already a wife ;) It was tons of fun! The wedding was beautiful & I got to get all dolled up. Which being a stay at home mom, that's always nice! Not to mention the wonderful new friends I made! My "wedding buddy" Brandi is awesome & made it all that much more fun! We also went to the after party & had a BLAST!  Sooooo neded that!

I know I'm a classy lady ;)

Oh but evenbefore the wedding, Jeremy took me to see Jim Gaffigan. Which was AWESOME! He was hilarious!  But the best part was when we went out aftertheshow for some drinks & dessert at The Steelhead. When we were almost done & thinking about leaving.... Guess who walked in?! Yup! Jim Gaffigan! He sat one table away from us! So I immedatly ordered another drink & we gawked at him. When we left, we stopped by & said hi & shook his hand! :) super awesome!! 

As for parties... we have had some fun! There was the Mangina  party! Matt & Dalidas bachlor bachlorette party. Super duper fun! Let's just say the night ended up in a pool & my poor cousin hurt himself! Ugh! We're not super graceful people lol

And then last weekend we celebrated Bethy's 11th birthday... Hunger Games style! Her 1st teenagerish party :) We had over 18 kids in our house! I'm not sure how any of us survived. But she had a blasty blast! We got her a tablet & she has hardly set it down since she opened it! Still can't believe my baby will be 11 on Fri! Time sure does fly by!
