Fall Break - October 2019

We recently had fall break and it was a great time to be together with family and friends. Bonnie Mom was in town, so we were able to spend some time with her, which was nice. She took the boys to Target, which they loved. We also spent time with Grammy and Granddaddy. As usual, the boys spent quite a bit of time playing with their neighborhood friends. We also had some family time with just the four of us. It was nice to have time off from school and work and we had lots of fun.

We started off our fall break on Thursday night, by eating dinner at Bistro 42 with Bonnie Mom. The weather was FINALLY starting to get nice and we were able to enjoy eating outside.

We went to Malibu Jack's with Grammy and Granddaddy on Friday. We played mini golf, which was quite amusing, but also really fun. We also had lunch together at Red Robin. At night, Bonnie Mom came to spend time with the boys and Carl and I went to dinner at Captain's Quarters.

Carl and I enjoyed a nice dinner at Captain's Quarters. The weather was beautiful!

Granddaddy was the winner at mini golf!

Evan LOVES to win tickets! He was so excited!

On Saturday, Evan and Daddy went fishing. They caught their biggest fish yet! In the afternoon, Carl and I went to the art fair and Evan went to the U of L game with Granddaddy. Preston played with his babysitters, since none of that interested him. At night, we made s'mores. 

Granddaddy and Evan were happy for a win for our Cards!

We went to Great Wolf Lodge on Sunday. We had so much fun together. We enjoyed the water park, as well as played Magic Quest. Preston liked playing Magic Quest and even defeated the dragon! Each of the boys were on the leader boards on the T.V. They were thrilled!

The boys and I went on a quick trip to the zoo on Tuesday. We loved seeing the new baby elephant. The boys spent lots of time playing with their friends in the afternoon. Bonnie Mom came over to visit that evening.

Summer Wind Down

School started several week ago, but we have continued to have lots of warm weather and lots of fun. Summer is now officially over and we are looking forward to cooler temperatures and fall fun.

Preston always likes to go to work with Daddy. The day before school started, Carl took him to work for awhile. He loved seeing Daddy's office, getting breakfast and meeting some of Daddy's co-workers.

Evan is REALLY into fishing. He asks to go almost every day. We can't go that often, but we still go quite a bit. Sometimes Preston joins along, but he tends to only be happy if he is able to quickly catch fish.

The boys had a sleepover with Grammy and Granddaddy. They played, went to House of Boom, ate at Red Robin and went to the park to catch crayfish. Everyone was tired, but everyone had lots of fun!

While I was away for a girls' weekend, Carl took the boys to Mammoth Cave, Diamond Caverns and Dinosaur World. The had a lot of fun on their special adventure!

Carl and I have enjoyed some U of L football games. They are much better than we expected and it has been fun to cheers for our Cards.

We have enjoyed several outings to Kentucky Kingdom. The water park has been our favorite area, as it has been SO hot!

We had a great visit with the Congleton family in Owensboro. It was still hot there as well, so we all went swimming. The boys had a great time with their friends. They all stayed up late, got up early and had lots of fun.

We went to Rec Bar and then to The Melting Pot, which has become a really fun activity for us as a family. The boys loved the games and the chocolate fondue was a hit!

Back to School - 2019

Earlier this month, the boys started school. I was a bit sad for school to start, because summer was lots of fun and I just wasn't ready for school to be over. I think the boys felt a bit like that too. Thankfully, both boys had a good first day of school and have quickly settled into the school routine.

Evan is in sixth grade at Kammerer Middle School. He says some classes are boring, but he LOVES science with Mr. Roth. He also likes riding the bus with Carter, Parker and Henry. He has made friends at school and he always come home happy.

Preston is in first grade at Chancey Elementary School. He is in Ms. Morrow's class, but goes to Mrs. Brooks for literacy. He loves playing on the playground and going to the fun centers. He also enjoys lunch. He is very excited to be in class with his good buddy, Quinn.

Camp Hi-Ho - Summer 2019

Evan and Preston attended Camp Hi-Ho this summer. This was Preston's first time going and it will definitely not be his last! He loved it just as much as Evan. Evan spent a lot of time fishing, while Preston enjoyed the pet barn, the lake, and the farm animals. The best part about Camp Hi-Ho, is that you get to choose what you want to do, so Evan and Preston could spend their time doing exactly what made them happy. It was a great experience for both boys and I know they will be happy if they get to go again next summer.
