August Phone Dump

A little spot of happiness in my (new) kitchen thanks to my sis.

Riley and Reagan came to stay with us (and my parents) for a few days while Courtney and Michael took Jules to college. The boys and Riley are basically bffs...

I moved Riley to the toddler bed so I could squeeze into my bed between the boys. Daniel was kicked to the couch,

Grandmama doing projects with the boys.

Julia's 18th Birthday dinner. Oh my goodness. 18. 

Look at Riley's expression!

Little one saying goodbye to the big sis.

Visiting the Nature Center (of course).

"Baby" Reagan (as the boys refer to her) was not feeling great that day.

At the Mountain Play Lodge!

Carson was successfully potty trained and earned his Spiderman Potty Party. He was SO proud of himself.

Hallelujah! We have air conditioning.

Just taking the dogs for a walk. In pjs, a beanie, and rain boots. The lab, Bella, stayed with us for six weeks-- loved having a playmate for Winston.

Meet the teacher day at Carver's new school-- Black Mountain Primary.

Carver chose "the mexican place" as his last meal before his first day of Kindergarten.

It was a celebration of sorts :)

Lunch packed.

Be still my heart. Kindergarten. He shouldn't be this old. Or this handsome. Or so big. My heart can't take it.

Little brother walking big brother into school. 

Carver wasn't scared at all! A couple of weeks later he had a complete meltdown and I left him crying on the floor of his room. But he had a great first day of school :)

Carson's turn-- first day of 3-yr old class at Montreat Morning School.

Making bouncy balls. It was messy but fun.

Hanging out at the conference center. 

Apparently Carver likes celery. Who knew.

Employee picnic at Daddy's work.

And Carver got to throw a pie in his dad's face...

He thought it was hilarious :)
