friday night with just the four of us...

i'm thinking this might be our last friday night as a family of four...bittersweet.  we had lots of plans for the evening, which started with meet the teacher....

emma's teacher was so sweet!  we are looking forward to an awesome year!!  we had a little time, so we made a pit stop at our local snow cone stand...




emma got wild thing, i think because it's the name of one of our favorite books...


and see?


carson got blueberry and just happened to have on a blue shirt...priceless for a stain treating momma.


after snow cones, emma performed at the high school football game...


that was so much fun for her.  we were so proud!


here she is with one of her favorite friends, who's in her class this year too...yay!  we went home to the a/c and pj's...i was worn out :)

a little more summer fun :)

we have been enjoying one of our last couple of weeks of summer.  well maybe the kids "enjoyed" more than me...38 weeks pregnant in the middle of the summer can be miserable, but i'm hanging in there :)  we spent one whole morning at the splash park...


about a week ago, we saw the movie, "chimpanzee."  i think this was carson's first attempt at mimicing their table manners...




here's his second attempt.  chimps don't have the best table manners, so friends, this. is. not. good.


after a couple of hours at the splash park, we went next door to the real park...


they had a blast...


i think they both love a park more than anything else.








i got this shot, because i was sitting on the mulch...spent.


and then, they complied, and i got this one too :)


emma had cheer camp this week too...


and show offs, were friday night :)


mama c. & papa c. happened to be in town early for her party, so they got to watch too, which was a special treat.  she did such a great job on stage!  we were so proud of her :)


friday was also our ten year anniversary, but it was just an ordinary day, and i think we were both okay with that.  hopefully, we can celebrate with dinner this weekend, but for now, i am just grateful for my amazing hubby and all that he is.  the past 10 have been great and i'm sure that the next 10 will be even better.

also, don't forget to vote, if you haven't already :)  i'll be shutting down the link soon...very soon :) here's the link...



now, if i could just fast forward the next couple of weeks...the end is exhausting in every way imaginable.  hugs to you all...
