Week in Review {7/4-7/11}

We spent our 4th fitting in as much fun as possible for one day!

Beech Bend (see previous post), a nap, then the Hot Rods and fireworks after!



Sunday we had our last service at Bristow Elementary (I'll post on that sometime soon). Then I headed out to the lake for Suits & Sun 2015 with my girls!






We had a wonderful time, and Mr.Pate totally rocked two kids alone.



I came back Monday night and we watched Night at the Museum 3. It was ok, but definitely not as cute as the others.

Tuesday we headed to Parking Lot Party again, then got sonic treats in a downpour :-)

Wednesday we caught up on housework and went to Jackson Grove to setup church stuff.





Thursday was bible study.

Friday we had pizza and playtime at home. We redecorated Griffins room with superheroes...











Saturday morning, Griffin and I rocked some go fish over coffee/crushed ice. Ha!


And Saturday we went to Cayslee's 2nd Birthday Party- how is she already 2!?!!














Then KneKne took the kiddos to Gallatin for some quality time! So I worked on birthday party decorations with Gammy Becky (she is outdoing herself once again with super cute decor!). After that we went to Novo Dolce for a date night. Yummo!

Happy 4th!

We had a great 4th of July! We decided to try and get in some good time at Beech Bend finally, so we went there Friday and Saturday. We did the amusement park rides Friday then headed home and had a movie night! Griffin has been asking to have one, so we were finally able to deliver. We watched the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which was a little much for him probably. He liked it but woke up this morning telling me he was afraid of the dark and tunnels. Oops.

This morning we headed back to Beech Bend to do the water park. First we had to ride the swings again, which is Griffins new favorite. After that they headed to the log ride to get wet! Griffin loved it.


In the water park we did the lazy river, played in the wave pool, and Griffin even went down several of the kids slides too! Wish I had a pic of that! After the water park we headed home for nap. Then we went back to ride some rides again. We grabbed some dinner and then went to the Hot Rods Game! They did a big fireworks show after too!

VBS 2015

A church in our area asked us to partner with them for VBS this year. It worked out great because a lot of the kids we hang out with at Parking Lot party came, so we got a lot of quality time with them.
I was with the preschool, so that's the only group I have pictures of. Loved getting to love on and invest in these kiddos. And I loved getting to pick up and drop kids off, so we had lots of time to talk.

Yay summer fun!

Parking Lot Party!

On Tuesday nights this summer, we have been going to a local neighborhood and doing a backyard bible club. We have gone to this neighborhood for three years now, so it is super cool to continue these relationships.

Aunt Lisa's 4th of July Celebration

Last weekend we headed up to Louisville to celebrate the 4th with Mr.Pate's side of the family. This is a yearly tradition and I love that. I usually take more pictures, but this is all I got!





Delaney did a great job holding Grady.


Griffin LOVED the trampoline this time.


So glad we got some Uncle Shelly time.


Griffin had a blast playing with the kids this time. He is finally old enough to keep up.


Grady did awesome during the fireworks! I held his ears, which he wasn't a fan of. But as soon as the firework went off he was in awe of it and didn't care anymore.





After the fireworks, we dropped the boys off at Grandmas and then drove back home. It was a super late night (we got back around midnight our time), and getting up for work the next day was not fun at all, but we had a blast!
