July 2017, part three

date night - Downtown Kitchen, so yummy!

Culver's with this girlie! So much fun!
I realized it'd be our last chance for a Mommy/Chloe lunch until who knows when, and I had already mowed and cleaned three bathrooms!  and I had a free kids meal!

from Culver's to the last day of camp festivities.  
They loved it and asked if they could go two weeks next summer!

Abby and her sweet counselors - 
Grace [they called her Grape] and Jensen

the MES village - Caden, Ryan, Dilly, Seth, Abs, Lyla, and Bella Brown



Friday night pool and pizza dinner with the Houlihans

one of the literally 150 pictures Ryan took on the underwater camera



We spent the night at Nana's new house, helped her settle a little, swam at the Zerings', and then brought Maxim and Stratton home for a sleepover!

 and then we met Auntie Sarah at the Mayfield milk plant in Braselton for a fun day and to return her boys  [no pictures were allowed inside/ on the tour]
cool hairnets for the tour

really yummy ice cream!







summer morning fun

sweet girl picked out her outfit to match the flower headband
a fun playdate with the West and Meldrum families!

Time for an adventure! ...
Tubing with the Conleys!!

so thankful I found this bungee cord in the car to attach us!


we were able to hike back and tube down as many times as we wanted!  
[we walked once] 



and then Varsity Jr in good ole D'ville for lunch
Ryan got that crazy triple bacon cheeseburger thing again.  But the deal was no drink or sides since it cost more then the kids' meal :)  he ate every bite of course



with Alicia [and baby Eden!] and Christa at JJ's 7th birthday party



Saturday night last hurrah of summer shindig, lots of fun!
also known as the night Mari broke her arm in our backyard...
Abs, Kayla, Chlo, and Mari

Cooper, Lucas, Sawyer, Ryan, Nickolas



She's a Waumba Land graduate/ brand new UpStreeter!


our last day of summer! :(
swimming of course!
with Josh and Sean.  And we had Cooper and Sawyer for the afternoon - sweet Mari broke her arm [at our house nonetheless, eekk!] and was at the ortho. She has a pink cast "just like Chloe!"  poor girl, it's not all it's cracked up to be!

Grandpa's in town!
Thanks to Grandpa for taking Ryan and Chloe to Las Palmas for dinner while Abby and I were at the Sam Hunt concert, a great coincidence having him in town this week :)  
[Coleson was in Orlando for work]
Etowah River with Grandpa and the kiddos

Swimming with Grandpa is the best!




More Pool Fun!!  Summer is the Best!!!

7.17.17 - Ryan and Abby's hide and seek week = intentional Chloe time!  
I took Chloe, Couper, and Josh to catch air and pizza, what a fun day!
hooray for positive peer pressure!!  I can not believe the things Chloe tried at catch air with these two by her side :)  So much fun and happiness and so many smiles!

the boys thanked me a bunch of times and told me this was the best pizza ever :) 
Josh ate three pieces!



another Chloe playdate - at Couper's pool!





not sure who took this, but I like it!

SAM HUNT!!!!!!!  
Just Mommy and Abby, what a wonderful night.  She loved it, and I loved watching her love it and sing along to just about every song.
Wish our random photographer had gotten Abby's pink cowgirl boots in the pic :)
