When memories are made...

Our last activity for the summer was Camp Bandina. Before leaving, though, we had a dinner date with our good friends the Shaws. Before we left Sadie modeled her new shirt from Aimee...
She just looks so grown up to me!!

She kept pointing at her shirt saying "There are shoes on my shirt, Mama!!"...



When we got there we were able to give Maci her birthday present. Only a few months late!...





A crayon roll and a matching shirt and clip! They were so excited!!




Sunday it was off to camp for us. It was a long, hot week! Having Gage there totally saved the week, though! He and Elijah were fast friends. Elijah now tells everyone that Gage is his "Best Buddy"...




One day we took the kids into town for a bit to run some errands...





Every night I would take the kids back to my cabin for a nice shower. Then they would get into their pj's to eat popcorn, drink milk and watch a movie! Not too bad! During that time Missty (Gage's mom) and I would have some much needed quit time/girl talk!


I love how kids can act the exact way you want to act and totally get away with it...

Sadie was too hot for shorts and too tired to sit up!


As soon as we got home Sadie and Elijah wanted to ride their bikes. I told Elijah to go put his safety gear on. When I came outside he had hooked Sadie up too!

Her legs aren't even long enough to pedal herself, but Elijah thought she needed a helmet and knee pads! Safety first!



Right after Elijah took off he fell. He jumped right up and turned around to Sadie and said "See Sadie, I fell, but its okay. I wasn't even hurt because I have my (tapped on knee pads) knee pads; and I have my (knocked on helmet) helmet!!" He stopped for just a minute and I could tell he was thinking. Then he said, "You remember when I scrapped my knee on the rocks at Papaw and Juju's pool when I was swimming?" Of course I said yes...it was a horrible accident. It didn't draw blood, but to Elijah it was huge! "Well, maybe I should wear knee pads when I swim!"
I love this kid with every fiber of my being!


I also love the fact that SUMMER IS OVER!!
