A Visit with Ms Linda, Sports Galore, and Happy Birthday, Mommy!!!!

On Monday, Mommy and Addie got dressed up and we had a dinner date with Ms Linda at Red Robin in Fayetteville.  We spent Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at sporting events and Addie and Mommy visited with Beverly Oliver on Thursday (she gave us fresh farm eggs), Friday at a friends house (Ayson also had a sleepover :), Saturday catching up on chores, and on Sunday we celebrated Mommy's birthday!

Dinner with Ms Linda at Red Robin!  Addie was so happy to see Ms Linda!  Lots of hugs and kisses!

Addie wanted Ms Linda to come home with us and sleep in Addie's room with her- hahaha!

The last lacrosse practice of the season was on Wednesday and involved an egg toss and a water balloon toss!  Afterwards, the kiddos pigged out on ice cream sandwiches, cookies, and Gatorade :)






Ayson had a sleep over at Grady's house on Friday night.  Apparently, Ayson and Grady did not go to sleep until close to midnight...and Ayson was up at 6 am!!!!


and he was useless on Saturday with only 6 hours of sleep...hahaha!  Ayson typically gets 8-10 hours of sleep.  Ayson vegged on the couch with Mason for most of the early afternoon.


On Saturday early evening, the kiddos were able to meet Max, Gianna's oldest brother new puppy!!


Max is a cute golden retriever!


Hahaha!  While we were all standing in the front yard, a flock of birds flew over and Neighbor Dave got pooped on!


The kids have been begging to make slime so we did on Saturday evening and it was super easy!






Great smile, Big Guy!


Smores time!!!


Pretty sunset!




A second Smore for Ayson!




On Sunday, we celebrated Mommy's birthday (which was on Aug 2 but we were busy with Daddy at football practice and Ayson at the last lacrosse practice).  Mommy was "surprised" with breakfast in bed, we then went for a walk at Baltimore Woods (with no complaining), and then Mommy had blueberry pie for her dessert!  What a great birthday!  Thanks Daddy, Ayson, and Addie for the special day!

We waded in the water and saw water bugs, fish, and crayfish!
