Week #19 {2017}

Sunday Dylan was exhausted from his trip to Dollywood and laid around most of the day.  

Bombi joined him out on the deck.

Monday we went to the Duke Ceremony.

And that evening, the sunset was spectacular.

Tuesday Chris and Dylan rescued a turtle from being eaten by Bombi.

Meet Tops.  We had a turtle in Georgia that was named Spot.  Dylan thought he looked the same, so he reversed his name and came up with Tops.

Wednesday on our way to pick up the big kids, little guy crashed out in the car.  I LOVE sleeping babies.

Dylan was at a friends house and when I drove up I saw this {such goobers!}:

During taekwondo, I finished this book.

And I can't get enough of this!

Thursday morning, I had an awesome workout buddy.

Afterward he brought me these flowers to "Remind you of Papa Nutt".  Sweet boy.

It's fun watching Dylan assist in other TKD classes.

After TKD it was Ry's first practice of the season for T-Ball.

Friday morning I took P to Burger King in between dropping Dylan off and her off for school.  Can you tell I'm running out of ideas of things to keep us busy for that hour?

The birdies look like birdies now... not little aliens!

We got to watch a storm roll through.

And Dylan {of course} played in the rain.

It's amazing how different weather changes our view so drastically.

Saturday morning we walked down to the creek to let Tops go.  He was stinky, attracted bugs and I just don't have time for him right now.  Plus I am sure he will enjoy life much more down at the creek!

On the way back we saw some gorgeous weeds...

it reminded me of Ecclesiastes 3:11.

It's been such an amazing thing to watch these birds.  I hope the kids will remember it forever.

Bombi...working on his Autobiography.  {hahahahaha!}

He sure loves Dylan and has to be right next to him.

Week #18 {2017}

Sunday Bombi still thinks he's a lap dog...

Such an adorable face.

It's been fun watching the plants/trees come into bloom in our yard.  We don't know exactly what will pop up...but a couple of days ago we noticed a rose bush bursting with buds.  Today we got our first bloom.

Kisses!

Love our view from our front door.  Can you spot the neighbor's cows across the street?

That night, I stayed up way too late finishing a great book.... Go read my review {here}!

Monday Ry got to do some mowing with daddy.

While they were mowing, I discovered a whole bunch of mint growing in our yard!

I finished off another great book, Giddy Up Eunice...check it out {here}!

Tuesday morning, Chris told me to come quickly and to bring my camera and I'm so glad he did... so precious!

Morning fog had settled on the farms on our drive to school.

Got to run errands with my momma today.

All the birdies hatched!

Tonight we kicked off softball season!

Then Ry hollered for me to come and take a picture of him and Dylan.

Wednesday I invited some friends from my old neighborhood over for coffee and I got to hold baby Mackenzie.  Babies are the best!

And I got a couple of sweet house warming presents!

Thursday we celebrated our 15 Year Anniversary!

Friday morning nuggle boggles.

And my workout was brutal....

A storm rolled in and everything was gray and gloomy, yet still beautiful!

That evening TKD held a special class taught by Grandmaster Hall {an 8th Degree Black Belt!}.

Rylan was too young to participate, but he dressed out and paid careful attention to what was being said.

Saturday we checked on the birdies who looked very hungry!

Bombi must be cold blooded.  If there is a heater or fire on...he is right next to it!

Saturday morning Dylan and I woke up at FORTY FIFTEEN in the morning {!} to drop him off at school.  His orchestra was traveling to DollyWood for a competition - which they won First Place in every category!  

While he was having fun, Chris found the snake in the barn.  Since he is a rat snake, we are going to leave him be {and I will NOT be going into the barn anymore!}.  He's probably 6+ feet long and looks VERY well fed!

We were going to do some small improvements to our powder room {paint, new light fixture, replace toilet, etc}.  While removing the old toilet, the supply line broke and water sprayed EVERY WHERE!  It was pure chaos, and all we could do was laugh.  So what was supposed to be a half a day project...will take a lot longer now!

Driving back from our 1,490th trip to Lowes this week, the setting sun was spectacular.

I ended the night with picking Dylan back up at his school at 11:45pm.  It was a long night.  But Dylan had so much fun, it was totally worth it.
