Family Dinner

Sunday was family dinner time!
Sloppy Joes on the Blackstone.
Easy peasy.
Just about everyone got in the pool.
The babies are getting more and more used to it.
Kehlani is swimming so well!
Lots of snuggles with all the little ones!



Typical Delilah face!

Sometimes we get smiles, too, though!!!!
Melanie, on the other hand, smiles ALL the time!













Aria did some crafts.
School starts next week!



I am endlessly grateful for this family of mine!!

Weekend Shenanigans

Have I mentioned our lives are crazy-busy?!
After leaving for work every morning at 7:15, I didn't get home until around 9 every night.
It's a lot.
Friday night, Burke and I met at Cooper's Blue & White Game.
He played the first four plays and then it was JV's turn.
This week is their first game.


It's so fun to see him on the varsity roster.
He's come so far.
He's always put in the work and now it's all paying off!


Saturday morning, I got some Hudson time.
He is SO busy!
We went outside with the plan to swim.
But he was super happy playing with the hose and water gun, along with the tractors of course.
He just played and played.






He is talking so much... even saying, "GIGIIIII!"
It melts my heart.
Love these babies!


A few hours later, I headed to Ryker's scrimmages at Viewmont.
He had two scrimmages back-to-back.
Our team looks a lot better than we did at the beginning of last season!
I got all of my team mom duties handled, hugged my boy, and sent him with his mom for the night.



I love that his best friend, Trypp, is on his team this year.
Love this kid!

Gridiron

Football season is back and has officially taken over our lives for the rest of the year!
 I forget what a nice break it is from football season once we're back in it!

Cooper has been in conditioning for months at high school.
Ryker is now back at it on the Gridiron team for Syracuse.

Practice every night.
Four scrimmages this weekend.
I am team mom again.
Coop has his blue and white game tomorrow night as well.
Laundry nightly to get stinky girdles and jerseys and pants washed.
Playbooks all over the house.
Dinner on the fly nightly.
Alllllll the things.

I wouldn't change a thing.
See y'all in a few months!!!

It's football season.
I kind of feel like it's always football season.
We stick track and baseball in there somehow...
Oh, and basketball.
I hate basketball.
Anywho...

He is #95.
He has his first game on the 15th.
Here we goooooooooooooooooo!!!
