Catching up on summer fun!

I cannot seem to keep up with blogging these days so this will be a catch all post!  We have been beyond super busy this summer!  All fun stuff but crazy busy. Sadly, it all ends tonight as Braden and Chris start school tomorrow.  Ethan and I have until the 12th so a little more run around and play time!

I finally got to make my trip to Charlotte to stay with Cassidy, my long lost friend since kindergarten. :)  We have literally been friends for 30 years and know more about each other than any two people I'm sure. ha!  I got to fly down by myself and just relax for the weekend!  We shopped, layed by the pool,went on some jogs/walks, ate a lot and watched some chick flicks!  Such a good little getaway!

Last week Chris and I took the boys to Cumberland Lake and Dale Hollow for a few days.  The weather was perfecto and it was so nice just having our little family together on these beautiful lakes.

The day we got home from the lake, we headed over for Brandi's surprise birthday party. I took a ton of pictures but those are all on my camera and this is on my phone, so here ya go!  ha!  The boys enjoyed the birthday treats of course!

Chris and the boys hit a Lowe's clinic on Sunday. Braden built a Madagascar van and Ethan built a Toy Story speedy racer.  Good boy time for sure....hammers and nails and all that good stuff!

Just playing outside....silliness

The boys and I went to Indy this week to see Michelle's new baby.  He was SO cute and snuggly....I sure love getting in some sweet baby snuggles here and there!

Braden had a birthday party for a little school friend that night at Sellersburg pool....lots of school buddies :)

Last night we went to open house at Grant Line so Braden could meet his teacher and drop off his supplies.  How in the world do I have a first grader?!!?!?  This is the grade I used to teach!!  Crazy!

Today Braden and I had a little date to celebrate the last day of summer. :(  We shopped a little and picked out a few new cool shirts for school, grabbed some Arby's (Braden's favorite) and then met friends at the movies to see Smurfs II.  Tomorrow is the day....back to school!  I'm a little sad...although getting back into a routine is nice, I sure enjoyed (most of the time-ha!) having my boys home with me this summer!
