August // 2016

When school is fast approaching, you start August with a trip to Fastlanes! We really love this place. We spend about an hour each time and the boys have a blast! This day was just a Chaz and Momma trip! So fun!

Some of us awesome moms went to see Bad Moms! So much fun!

 The boy got a hold of my phone and made some funny faces with Snapchat.

 And then there is this one... super creepy.

 And sometimes when you have had a dead tree in your yard for months, your friend brings over the baby to help take it down. Thanks, Mr Lucas!

 Don't worry about the little guy, he got a fun date with his buddy! We went to HighRise with Jack one morning and we couldn't have had a better time!!

 Lil was there too! She hung with her Momma while I chased the boys!

 Partners in crime.

 I am not sure this is the point of this apparatus but whatever.

 So fun!

 I just love them together. They are SO much fun!

 I am pretty sure they tried everything... except the giant trapeze. That was too much!

 Rock walls are not for the short peeps. Poor kiddo.

 He loved this thing!

 Crazy pants.

 What a fantastic day with our friends!!!

 And sometimes you get dressed up and go to a redneck party. This is really the only pseudo appropriate picture I can share. So much fun had by all!!

 No words. Just a goofball of a kid.

 And he stole my phone again.

 I really do love finding all of these on my phone. It makes me giggle.

 Sunsets on the mountain are amazing. Pictures don't do them justice.

 Sweetness. I am pretty sure Dane is on TOP of Chaz. Such a good big brother.

 I mean, pits are SO vicious!

 Riding through the sprinkler and playing in the front yard. I love the signs that Summer is still here!

 And when your BFF comes over to play. Yes, one of Dane's BFF is our next door neighbor Kirk. They are adorable.

 My sweet napping partner.

 Practicing ball with friends!

 Skating is not his best sport. BUT it is super funny to watch.

 And sometimes I get to have lunch with my sweet boyfriend. Loves him!!

 Yeah, for a short trip around the neighborhood he gets to sit without a car seat. He thought he was SO big.

 We brought them back some gifts from our Cabo trip. They were excited!

 After being with friends and family for several days, he was happy to see his buddy!

 And Lil. Oh how I love that you love our creepy baby. Note: this is pretty much the only girl toy in our house and all girls flock to her. Too bad Lil stole her a few days after this picture was taken. BAHAHA!!

 First practice to be a pitcher!

 After leaving the workforce, I decided I had to cook a little. It doesn't happen very often in this family -- some because I HATE to cook and some because we have so much going on where a home cooked meal isn't always in the cards. Here are a few of my creations. Pasta is a bit of a staple!

And are you ready for the funnies/over-the-tops/possibly mildly offensive part of the month? Here we go!!

This. I am ALWAYS over. Never fails. I weigh it at home but somehow by the time I get to check in, my luggage has gained two lbs. Every.time. I am that person with all my shoes and unmentionables strewn out at check in, frantically rezipping and reweighing a thousand times. Every.time.

 Some days it is just about survival. #winningatparenting

 And now you know why. #oneofthemanyreasons #ilovethemanyway

 I am hands down the fastest showerer in our family. I would also like to point out, I have the longest hair, shave every day and probably wash myself better than any of them. Yep. I win.

 I know this. If you don't admit this to yourself, you are a liar. All kids are great but they are assholes too. Just sayin'

 Sooooo, I tend to wear a jumper at the worst times. Examples: Concerts at the AMP (x2) Birthday parties on Dickson (xMany) and my 20th High School reunion. Yeah, there is that.

 Oh c'mon. It is totally worth a laugh!

 Oh and this is when I make BIG plans to be SUPER crafty... But it doesn't really happen. But isn't this beautiful?!? One day.

 I'm going to end with this.. I am just going to say, this does NOT look legit. Not that these people aren't working hard but look at it. Doesn't seem legit. AND this is at one of the biggest intersection in Fayetteville. Just saying.  Happy August, y'all!
