Going to the Cabin

 My posts have been sparse this month. A lot going on, but I just haven't had the...energy-interest-mental health- to come up with witty blog posts. So here are a few things we've been up to...boringly written :) Andrew, Ryan, Grace, Jillian, and I went to the cabin for a weekend.

 Weather was perfect. Fire was perfect. S'mores were delicious.

 Snickers got filthy.

 For some reason Ry and Grace needed to stand on the picnic table...maybe to get away from the smoke? Ryan IS beautiful....so it follows him. And of course, Grace is breathtakingly beautiful...so it follows her too.

 We had fun murdering the marshmallows we didn't want to eat.

Everyone settling in to go go bed. I'm grateful to my dad for leaving us this place to gather as a family.

Lazy Days of Summer

 Snickers and Grace LOVE to go to the park...we throw Snick's rope, and a shoe for Grace, and they have races to see who can bring it back the fastest. I'm not kidding.

 Snickers LOVES to go in the car. It's super sad any more if we have to go somewhere that she can't go...she sits at the door and whines. Apparently, this whole year, while the rest of us are at work/school, Jillian has been taking her everywhere. She thinks she's a person. And did you know that the bank offers not only suckers for good little children, but DOG TREATS for your pooch? It's true.

 Happy, tired, dog.

Happy, tired, Gracie.

Cabin Work Party

 We had our annual "cabin-work-party" a couple of weeks ago...My uncle and any of his kids that can come, and any of my siblings and/or their kids that can come, spend a day cleaning, fixing, chopping wood, hanging out. It's a good time. This year we were rebuilding a balcony. The water was higher than we've ever seen it too! This is Grace getting out of work by holding baby Finnley...

 Haha...my brother hates having his picture taken. He didn't know I captured this one!

 My fabulous nieces and nephew...

And me getting out of work by holding baby Finnley...good times!

Royal Wedding

We had a blast getting up at 3am to watch the royal wedding...we even wore hats, but those pictures turned out very...ummm...badly. So. Good memories though!

Last Day of 3rd Grade!

 I picked Grace up from school today. Her LAST day as a 3rd grader! We got pedicures, went to see Kung Fu Panda, went to Barnes & Noble, then went to the MALL to purchase clothes for the summer that are NOT uniforms!

She changed her clothes in the car on the way home...no more charter-school uniforms for 3 whole months!
