We just had back to back visits from wonderful family and friends. The Kisgens (minus Patrick) came for Unity Presbyterian VBS. The kids (who were of age) had a blast all week. We all enjoyed spending time with everyone. Dinners and slumber parties. Fun stuff!

You know! It was just THAT big of an  special occasion

Maybe next time Asher!!

After we said goodbye to the Kisgens we were joined by the Johnsons! Vera and Baylor are just soooo cute together! Had a great 1 and a half days on the lake while they were here. Alecia, Ashley, Justin and Damon joined us too. 

Boatloads of fun!!!   

25 Years and Counting!

July!

All of a sudden we are midway though July! This summer is flying. We have been working hard during the week and enjoying the lake on the weekends! 
Celebrated the 4th with family and friends. Every chance we get we have been on the lake. 

Brighton went to camp at the YMCA for a week. The focus was art but he did many other activities daily, such as swim and play sports and then typical camp activities. He enjoyed it soooo much. 

Best part was Friday when I picked him up. The counselor who walked him to the car gave him the highest compliments. He said Brighton was the best camper all week and they never had ANY trouble with him. They went on and on. It was such a nice thing for a mother to hear! Wondering why he doesn't act this good for me at home?

Sorry I am not blogging. I am living and loving LKN 2015!!

Father's Day Weekend

Our Father's Day weekend was filled up with fun activities involving dads! We spent some of the weekend at Kelly and Craig's with Max and Connie. Had a nice lunch and went out on Max's boat for a couple of hours. 

The Flantley O's (we have decided to combine this name rather constantly saying Antley's and Flowe's) along with Donna took DB out to eat by boat on Sunday. Lovely day. Love all of our dads!

Jason, you are the best dad to our boys. Thank you for being such a strong role model for them to look up to. Thank you for being such a hands on father and help to me! We love you!!

Family Reunion at Myrtle Beach

Warning many pictures ahead!! 
This year, my 1st cousins on my mom's side of the family (Thomas') made plans to get together to reunite with each other and have all of the little 2nd generationers meet. The last time we all got together (minus Meredith, who was missed but working away on Realty TV in Hollywood!) was almost 3 years ago, so there have been 3 little baby boy additions to the family since that reunion, so it was time! 

8 adults, and 9 Little Ones all united for a week at the beach. It was such a great  time. The kids all got along and had a blast, as did the older ones!! 

The week literally flew by and we were packing up and saying goodbye way to soon. We had a fabulous week of days at the beach, cooking big meals or going out together. It is tough to get everyone's busy schedules in sync to plan something like this, but now that we have done it, I hope that there are many more to come!!   

FOND MEMORIES MADE. I love all of my cousins and really appreciate everyone's efforts to stay connected and close as we get older and have families of our own. Missed you Mer!
