Slippin' and a Slidin'

We were going to have Braylon's best friend, Logan for a weekend so we decided to get us a slip and slide so they could play outside all weekend. They loved this thing!!! They played, played and played some more.

We have been trying for the last several years to do a little Shaw/Frederick vacation for a weekend. I think last year was our first year in several years that we didn't do the whole family outing, but we did manage to get a couple's only weekend in instead that year.

This year we went camping in Macon. It was a beautiful campground, fantastic weather and a super fun and relaxing time with great friends! We swam, fished, hung out, took walks and smelled like..... dirty skanky sweat bombs!

I love having these memories!

We left on Bronson's Birthday so we put a candle in a cookie to celebrate for him.

Bronson's 7th Birthday Party

I can't even believe that Bronson is 7 already!!! Where in the world has the time gone???

This year he wanted a fishing cake, a hunting cake, a camo cake and then he finally decided he wanted a Cardinal's cake. It was very yummy ice cream cake.

We had a little get together with the grandparents and some close friends a couple of nights before his birthday. He made out pretty well.

New fishing stuff from his brothers

Swim shoes and a Cardinal tank top/shorts (his favorite outfit now) from the Buford's

This kid is so weird.... he wanted a Buddy's Place shirt so Grandma Teresa got him one:)

Fishing pole from Grandma Teresa and Gramps

Happy Birthday to my favorite middle boy, Bronson Lee!

You have been such a joy to watch grow these last 7 years. I can see myself in you more and more each day.

Thanks for being YOU, Bronie Butt:)

Summer Fun

We have had a fantastic summer. I hate to see it dwindle down.

We have played baseball, went swimming, went camping, had friends over, went to friends' houses, went fishing and ran ALL.SUMMER.LONG!
