May Family Dinner

Yesterday was our family dinner.

These two nuggets got to our house early and got some good one-on-one time with us and uncles!

Aria is SO excited that school ends this week.

Her class is having a party and she gets a long break!

Isn't she so beautiful?!

Hendrix was excited to find balls and to lay on the floor with the dogs.

He is the busiest little man.

He rolled balls with Uncle Cooper for a LONG time.

Brooklyn joined us.

Brooklyn is Porter's girlfriend.

She bought herself a dirt bike on Friday and they've been working on it over the weekend.

She works at PCMC and starts nursing school this fall.

Jackson, Isis, the girlies, Colton, and Diana showed up later.

Delilah was all about the ice cream and the sprinkles.

When at Papa and Gigi's, you get what you want!!!!

Then the girls and Gigi painted rocks!

Look how cute Kehlani's watermelon is!!!

Melanie Rose did so good.

She even got some of the paint on the rock!!

Delilah June painted what she wanted and Gigi fully supported that.

Then there's this guy.

The favorite.

Where Papa is, the children are.

This is Melanie pretending to be asleep because I was begging her to let Gigi hold her.

Isis asked her repeatedly, "Do you love Gigi, Memalie??"

Finally she said, "No. I love my papa."

And with that, I knew that he was still the favorite.

 

Sponsored Date Night

Burke was invited to a Bees game with America First.

The plan was that he was going to take Ryker on a fun little outing.

Ryker wanted to go to baseball practice instead.

I was very proud of him for that!

So, Burke got to take me instead.

We don't take these moments for granted!

We hold hands in the car.

We talk about work and kids and baseball and football.

This was our first time at the new stadium...

More on my thoughts regarding that later.

It was a beautiful night.

Free food.

Meeting his associates with America First.

Hearing baseball bats hit baseballs.

 

Baseball Season

Ryker had his first baseball game on Tuesday.

He is a Cub this year.

His coach is Ray, a coach he's had for years and years in all sports.

Ryker played first base and right field on Tuesday.

I love sitting at the field and I love watching Ryker play with his friends.

On another note, look at this beautiful nightstand!

Cooper made this in wood class.

I am stunned.

I mean, Coop is great.

But THIS is extra!

 

This Boy

This kid, though!

Daddy gave him a big boy haircut.

He looks way too grown up.

Yes, there is a waffle, "mac," whipped cream, and milk in a bottle.

You don't see the fruit snacks and pop tart.

When at Papa & Gigi's, you get what you want!!

He talks in the third person - hilarious.

He says some bad words very appropriately - not hilarious, but so hard not to laugh.

He sprayed water ALL OVER the kitchen and himself whilst "doing dishes."

Uncle Cooper told him no more.

Hudson: 

"Oh, dammit. Ah, dammit. Oh, dammit."

All whilst looking down and shaking his head.

I finally got out of me, "Hudson, that's a bad word."

I'm pretty sure his Smith-like selective hearing did not hear a word I said.

He loves nerf guns (thanks Uncle Ryker), trucks (thanks Uncle Cooper), tools (thanks Uncle Porter), "cooking," "doing laundry," and the park.

 

Girlies

Isis sent me this pictures from the weekend.

These cute girlies got to ride ponies!

I am literally obsessed with my grand babies...

Not that it's obvious!

I love that they were not afraid to hop right on and take a little horse ride!

Cute little family!

 

Lucky #7

I opened a Mother's Day gift from Colton & Diana yesterday.

THIS was inside!!

Grandbaby #7 will be here in October!

A Fall baby is coming!

Papa cried a little.

I just couldn't stop talking!

We are so excited!

 

Cheeeeeeeeeeeser

Mia sent me this picture last night.

Can you even?!?!

He is a little cheeeeser!

Love our Hudson Dean!
