July Summer Recap!

We started out the month of July by having our annual family get together.  Grant and Madison love to play with their cousins and just hang out!  Here are some pictures from then.

               from uncle Brent!

        Fun with sparklers!



Grant then headed off to Horizons for the first year!  He was pumped and I was nervous!  😁  That's just how moms are!
He had a fabulous week and enjoyed it very much!  Here are a few pictures I had people send me during the week just so I could see him!! 😄

   Volunteered the first night to go on     
     stage and do the iggle wiggle!

      Morning exercise!

       Grant and Clement hanging out!



     Mykal and Mandy making Grant take   
         a pic for me!

    Eric and I went down on Wednesday for Devo!  It was so awesome!  I had to go see Grant! 😘
Horizons was a huge success for Grant!



Grant attended tennis camp also and Madison attending American Girl Camp.  They both have had a great summer!  I still can't believe it is over!

Summer Time June Recap!


Well I can't believe I will be going back to school next week!  This summer flew by! We didn't make it to the beach this summer but we did go to the mountains! Grant attended 4 camps this summer and got braces and Madison attended two camps this summer.  All three of us went Maury Christain Camp the first week in June and we left Eric at home because he had to work.  Next maybe all 4 of us can go!  It was a great week at Maury Christian Camp and Grant and Madison had a great week!  I worked in the kitchen and so I stayed busy pretty much the whole time but I loved working in the kitchen!
Here are some pictures from Maury Christian Camp.  The top left is all my peeps that I worked with in the kitchen.  The top right is another one of Emily and I.  The bottom right is Grants team performing there skit on Thursday nite.  The bottom left is me getting initiated at camp!  It was our first year and they always initiate first year staff and campers!!  It wasn't too bad, but I was dreading it all week!!  



Here are Madison with two of her friends and then the top right is my dear sweet friend Mykal!  The sunset was awesome! We were singing on top of the mountain  watching the sunset on Wednesday nite before Devo and it was amazing!

This top picture is Grant and his cabin buddies and the bottom picture is another one from Grants skit.  We all had a great time at camp!!

After we got home and rested a week we got ready to get Grant his braces!  He had a lot of emotions going into this nervous and excitement all at once!  I had a little more nervous than excitement just hoping he wasn't going to be in too much pain in the process!  I just can't stand it when my children hurt for any reason!!  

Grant attended basketball camp at CA for a week and loved it.  I think I was a little nervous since he had just got his braces and didn't want him to get hit in the mouth with a ball!  The week went great with no injuries!

Next we had a cousin get married in Chattanooga so we decided we would extend our trip after the wedding and head to Gatlinburg and go to Dollywood and then drive up in the mountain one day.  We have season passes to Dollywood and Splashin' Safari so the kids were excited to be going there!  We had a nice trip and here are some pictures to share!



We were eating at Bubba Gump in Gatlinburg.  Love this picture of them!

They both had to get their picture made with the fat suit!

          Family picture by the sign!

 Love the picture with the grandparents!
