 This summer weather has been super weird. It has rained probably 3-5 days every week this summer! On the nice days we try to take advantage of it and play in the sun! This summer, I watched a little girl a couple days a week for 5 or 6 weeks. She was so so so sweet and got along really well with Cheyenne and Berkeley.

Savannah's camping Birthday

 Our little friend Savannah had a camping birthday party up in Helen in the mountains. It was so much fun! Lots of kids:)
 Here's the cute birthday girl! She turned two:)

 The girls loved those little caterpillars!







 These girls can be so silly sometimes!
 I went for a run, and was about a mile or two out, running really fast down the steep hill when I tripped on my shoelace and ate it hard! It was extremely painful, I couldn't even get up, I had to roll off the road into the grass. I had no idea how I was going to get back to the campsite. It was excruciating pain for about 20 seconds, then my fight or flight response kicked in and it got pretty numb. I hobbled back to the campsite. You cant tell how bad it is in these pictures, but I still have a significant scar on my shoulder and my knee doesn't hurt anymore, but my knee cap is all lumpy and misshapen now. It sucked.


This girl loves her chips!



Not pictured, tubing down the river, checking out the awesome town of Helen, intense games of mafia by the fire, getting rained out the last night and day... a good time had by all:)

Layla's bday party and fostering a kitty!

 For some reason, we took a thousand pictures at Cheyenne's little BFF, Layla's 5th birthday party. Cheyenne and Layla just have this special little connection, they really get along so well.


 Right before we left for the party, we had some other friends over and this little bunny came bounding out of the woods into our front yard, as it got closer, I realized it wasn't a bunny but a teeny tiny kitten! We got it some tuna fish and water and kept it for two days. The girls fell in love with it, but Jeff and I kept sneezing. I was watching a little girl and the mom loved it so they kept it! It worked out perfectly!

 The park the party was at had a little stream to play in. The girls had so much fun sliding on the rocks.





 Everyone loved the kitty.
 As we were playing in the water, I noticed this sign:
 grrrrrreat.... thankfully, we didn't see any.
 We rocked the red, white and blue outfits, because it was Memorial Day.




May Madness

Jeff hosted a May Madness basketball fundraiser. He brought back alumni to play against the current players. He ended up mixing the teams though so that it wouldn't be a blow out. The alumni cheerleaders came and there were  quite a few fans who came, especially since Jeff just planned it like 3 weeks before. They raised $1000 for their team! I think next year even more people will come since it was such a positive experience for everyone who was there!





The pictures were taken during warm up and after the game, but during there were quite a few people in the stands. It was fun and a great event for the community!
