Evan and Hannah's Wedding

Image
Matt and had the honor of being invited to celebrate Evan and Hannah's wedding in Oregon and it was a beautiful weekend! It was the first trip we had taken alone since we went to the Florida Keys a few years ago and it was nice to get away. My whole immediate family was there so we didn't get a ton of alone time, but we did have our own Airbnb and got to have breakfast together each day. We got there on a Thursday and the rehearsal dinner was that night. Friday was our free day and me, Matt, Dad, Janet, Jennifer and Allison drove around to sightsee and did a few short hikes. We drove across the Washington state line to have lunch too. Everyone was pretty tired that night, but me, Matt, Jennifer and Allison went to a wine bar for a couple of hours at the hotel where they were staying and watched a musician  We wanted to do a hike that day that we did not have time for, so me, Matt and Allison left about 730 Saturday morning to do the 2 1/2 mile hike up to Multnomah Falls. Those ...

Cousin Camp

Image
Piper ended up getting to stay for 11 days and she and the girls had the best time. It was a last minute trip so we didn't have a big thing planned for each day like past years because we had to work, but they loved the downtime at the house together too. We did go to a movie, went to dinner one night and went to a movie, so we did do a few things. Of course there was lots of time at Vivette's and Piper was happy to get to feed the horses and she even got to ride twice  The highlight of the visit was probably the day we went to the lake for the 4th of July. They jumped off the deck, swam in the pool, went for a boat ride and ate burgers and hot dogs  We were thankful to Capn and Yaya for letting us go!  We also had a good time at fireworks at Cypress Baptist on the 2nd. Holly and Madison came to visit too and we got 2 nights with them while she was here  We were sad to see her go, but she had to get back to her horse and Matt and I had to get ready for our trip to Po...

First HALF of Summer??

Image
I'm thanking God (and my husband 😊) that I am not going back to teaching next year, or else I'd be way more depressed today, as I realized that summer is just about halfway over. June was pretty busy as I tried to recover from school, while also getting back into real estate, plus all the stuff with the kids. Their extracurriculars don't quit in the summer like they did when they were little so Wednesday is the only day we don't have anywhere we HAVE to be. Lillian is still feeding horses on the weekend, teaching lessons two days a week, and taking lessons herself. Plus she worked horse camp two days in June Kathleen wrapped up her volleyball season and she really enjoyed it. Plus she has cheer three days a week, but I don't have any pictures from that because we don't get to watch. Lillian went with her friend Callie to Cypress' high school beach camp. They left on a Monday and came back on a Friday and had three full days in Panama City. Twice a day worsh...

McCormick Beach 2025

Image
It had been 3 years since we took a family beach trip with the McCormicks and it was so nice to get together again! Me, Matt and the girls met Yaya and Capn in Pensacola on the Saturday after school got out and the rest of the family got there Monday. We spent most of the time relaxing on the beach We did some fishing and crabbing one evening  The "big kids" went to a nice dinner together one night while the grandkids stayed with yaya and Capn. Me and Matt took our girls to breakfast and souvenir shopping one morning for some family time The boys took 4 of the 6 kids on a chartered deep sea fishing trip and they had a great time catching us dinner And we had an impromptu family photo shoot the last night too We had to leave a day earlier than everyone else because Kathleen had to get back for her uniform fitting for her first year of competitive cheer and a volleyball game.  She's only had one cheer class so far but she thinks she's going to love it!  We were back for...
