Pops' 74th Birthday

Pulling Pops away from the farm is really hard this time of year. We brought the party up to him. Shipley's Doughnuts are a favorite, particularly the apple fritters. We delivered them first thing this morning. The kids and I decided to decorate a few signs to hang up for party decorations. We celebrated over yummy food, all of which came from the farm. We finished off the afternoon with a race on the bikes. Hunter won most every time. Pops did cut corners a few times and Hunter caught him making sure that Pops knew that was "cheating". It was a good family day, farm and all. We are going to miss this.

New Hat

This morning Mackenzie came out wearing a new hat. Yes, they are clean. She was so proud of her hat she wanted to go show Nannie. I love the look from the back. She is such a girl, but a girl with rough edges. Love her!

Visiting with Mawmaw

Mawmaw was not aware that I took this picture. She has become camera shy over the last year. We had her over for dinner. She had a great time sitting and enjoying their little laughs. I am always happy to see family, but I am extremely happy that she has moved into a home and is happy about being there. I have missed her being at mom's, but was happy to have her closer in her new home.

S'mores Please

Getting together with my BFFs is always fun. I was looking forward to a night of wine, laughs, and sleeping in. We ate dinner downtown at the Pub. Once I heard what they had for dessert there was no turning it down... S'mores. As Girl Scouts, this is a staple food for us. We had fun sitting in the middle of a crowd of business and enjoying an old memory. Love you gals!

It's the Little Things

Pops has all kinds of boxes pulling up around the farm. He has one box the kids have taken too. They have painted, colored, and cut this box. Aunt Wendy got to enjoy them playing and creating.
That night I had a night out with my girls. Adam was on parent patrol with the help of Annmother, Wendy, and Pops. They took the kids back to the Summer Fest for more fun. Wendy is now calling Mackenzie "Warrior Princess" due to her lack of fear. They had so much fun that they slept in the next morning till 8. That NEVER happens.

SummerFest in Ashland City

Adam and I took the kids down to the festival on Wednesday night. I knew that Hunter would get his money worth out of the kiddy rides, but I had no idea that Mackenzie would be up for the rides. I don't know why this surprised me. She rode every ride that she could. Hunter even braved the adult rides. We had a good night enjoying the kids.

Neighborhood Fun

Adam's neighborhood buddy dropped by to let Hunter play with her kids. They had a blast painting the Watermelon box. Adam even carved out a few windows and a door. All smiles here.
