4th at the pool

July 11, 2025

We had a fun 4th of July up at the pool! Spencer was still at camp but the rest of us beat the heat in the water!

Thankfully both kids had a few friends up there!

One of the swim team coaches was running all sorts of fun games for the kids – and she was very good about getting everyone to participate! These girls especially had fun with them…

and won some prizes!

Of course there were splash contests! Maxwell, I mean Gerald, gave a good showing in the biggest splash!

As did Robert! Unfortunately, his ear drum didn’t cooperate. Ouch.

I made a very good showing in the adult smallest splash contest but…no picture of course.

I’ll just leave these here with no comment…

It was a fun day at the pool! The boys then played golf and I went home to make some peach cobbler with my all-American girl!

Happy Easter!

April 21, 2025

We had a wonderful Easter with the prettiest spring weather! The kids were happy to see the bunny brought some surprises…

and we missed Maxwell but he was having fun down at the beach with a friend!

We made to the 9:00 service at church and had great seats thanks to Robert and GJ!

Samantha learned not to lean on her bracelets during the prayer! ha!

We then had lunch up at the club. It was a blue sky bluebird day! Just perfect!

Happy Easter!

Valentine fun

February 17, 2025

What’s better than Valentine’s Day on a Friday? Valentine’s Day on a Friday with no school! Woohoo! The kids (well 2 of the 3 kids – Spencer is at the beach!) slept in and were happy to see a little treat waiting for them!

Samantha and I then had a fun Galentine’s lunch with some buddies…

and Maxwell had a fun outing to Top Golf with some friends!

Robert and I also went out to dinner that night at Daniel George. Raspberry creme brûlée! Yum!!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

Christmas Day

January 7, 2025

After all of the Santa was sorted and tidied, we hosted everyone for Christmas lunch…well, everyone minus GJ! She was on her way to London with Keath’s family! We missed her but glad she got to go on an adventure. I had the tables all set and we prepared quite a delicious spread…

Before everyone arrived, I remembered one more gift for the kids…a Cameo from the Rizzler!! hahaha!

Watching them laugh while watching then video was my favorite part of Christmas!

Samantha was looking cute in her new Aviator Nation set!

Everyone arrived after noon and we had quite a nice meal and plenty of merriment!

The kids all spent most of the day on the trampoline…and we all ended the day with a little night jump!

Best Christmas with my favorite Christmas elves!
