Road Trippin'

 In the month of July, we drove over 3,000 miles for two different road trips!!

We started with our annual trip to Colorado.  This year was a little different because LoLo just had hip surgery and Nathan and Megan now officially live Crested Butte!  

Our first full day there was the Fourth of July!  We watched the parade and went to the cookout, and the cousins got their newest shirts!

During the week, we hiked, paddle boarded, fished, played frisbee golf, rafted, crafted and played lots of cards!

One day, we even snuck LoLo out for lunch!

It was a full, fun week!

Next up, the Eoff Six headed to Seagrove, Fl.  This was something new for us!  We hadn't been to the beach in awhile, and we tried out a new spot.

We spent lots of time at the beach!  I read two books, the kids boogie boarded, found sand dollars, "got tan" and swam their little hearts out.  Graham volunteered to be buried in the sand.  This was about the only time that he wasn't in the water.

We stayed in a condo called Sand's Oasis and it was a great spot!  Steps to the beach.

The one thing the girls wanted was a Seaside t-shirt.  They weren't the only ones with that idea!!!  There was quite a line to get in the store.

We had bikes that we could ride around town, and we ate some good food!!!

Spending a week at the beach is the quintessential carefree vacation.  We had very little on the schedule and just really relaxed and enjoyed each other's company.  

Spring Sports

 Spring is a busy time for sports at our house!  Graham played Thunder baseball again.   

He also gave soccer another try with the All Stars.

He played keeper for most of the season.  Their team was undefeated!!

Jane and Sydney played on a volleyball team with friends from school and Casey coached.

Sydney and Jane tried out track.  Sydney enjoyed long jump and triple jump, and Jane enjoyed it when the season was over.

Just so I don't leave Clare out, here is a picture of her looking sporty!

The summer will remain busy.  Jane and Sydney are playing on a different volleyball team.  Graham is playing in an indoor soccer league and the baseball season never ends!! 

Graham is 10!!!

Graham turned 10 in April! We had a family celebration, and Graham got lots of good stuff!

Landon loves Graham, and is always by his side!  So sweet to watch.  

We are taking Graham for the traditional Fort Worth weekend, whenever we can find a spare weekend.  We will make it happen though!!

It was a fun night celebrating my favorite 10 year old!!

Spring Break

 I forgot to post about spring break!!!  Our break started with Clare getting her wisdom teeth out, and man alive, did that provide some entertaining footage.

She did a great job recovering, but it did take her about a week to be back to normal.  Happy to have that behind her!

On Thursday, the girls and I escaped to Southlake for a little getaway.  We shopped, had dinner, stayed in a hotel (where the gym was the most popular spot!), and had a great time!

Graham stayed back and hung with Casey.  They had a good time together....but didn't take any pictures. :-)

Easter 2021

 Just a few pictures I want to hold onto from Easter!

FIFTEEN!

 How can it be that Clare is 15?!?  We spent the weekend celebrating her.  

She has a bunch of her friends over on Saturday night to hang out and then go see a movie.  It was a fun night, and I always enjoy watching my kids with their friends!  

Sunday night we had the family over for another celebration.  It was a beautiful night, and we enjoyed getting together.  Last year we had to take a break on the family gatherings, so it was nice to be able to have everyone over this year.  

Here are a few fun facts about Clare!

-She loves her friends!  She is very social and never wants to miss out on a social gathering.

-She STILL loves all things High School Musically, especially Zac Efron.

-She is always excited about something.  Clare always has her sights set on something in the future that she is "SO" excited about.

-She loves Harry Styles, Snap Chat, being tan, and summer!  She can't wait for summer.

-She does well in school, with honestly, little effort.  Imagine what she could do with some effort?!?!

-Right now, she says she wants to be a teacher when she grows up.  We'll see!

-She's getting her driving permit on Friday!

Love my fifteen year old so much!
