Summer Fun.....

 So I thought since I hadn't written in so long,
that I'd get you caught up on the summer fun.

It's hard to believe the end of summer is fast approaching.
From July 31st - August 26th we have 5 Birthdays.
So that means lots of fun and pictures to come =)

So let's look at the some of the fun we've had so far this summer.

This picture makes me smile and nearly cry every time I see it.
Sir Cuteness started Preschool in May.  Yes I know it is a weird
time for him to start, but he is going to a Christian Preschool
and so he could start with a summer school type program,
and then start preschool in August in earnest.

This picture of him and PaPa was taken the night before
his first day of Preschool.  

He said, "Grandma, you better take our picture, 
because tomorrow I grow up."

tear.
sniffle.
so.true.

We have blinked and he is five.
We will blink again and he will be graduating high school.
Yes, it goes that fast.


On  the Fourth of July, my Mr. Winslow and I headed to the 
woods to hike to the lake.  Needless to say, we took a wrong 
turn and never found the lake.  So we camped in the middle
of snake and tick country.  I mean TICK COUNTRY!!!
They nearly carried us off!!  


But wasn't our camp site so cute?!!
I love to camp.
I love to camp with my Mr. Winslow.
I love my Mr. Winslow.


Hi there.


And we have swam.
We picked up Sir Cuteness a little pool.
He loves it.
He doesn't dig water over his head.
I don't blame him.  Not my cup o joe either,
so this pool is perfect for our little man.


And we have played with art.
Lots of art this summer has found its way into 
Sir Cutenesses sweet little hands.
It's so cute to him say, 'Gamma, I want to emboss."  smile.

And we have had breakfast picnics on rainy mornings before preschool.
Yep, its what we do.
We're cool like that =)


We've grown sunflowers.
Little ones like this,
and big ginourmous ones in the garden.


And speaking of garden.....
tomatoes.....
lots and lots of tomatoes.


So far, that has been our glorious summer.
And yes, we've had hard moments too, like mom just getting out 
of the hospital today, having had pneumonia.
And Sir Cuteness sticking a bead up his nose,
And having to go to the emergency room and the ENT the next day when ER couldn't get it out.
Yes, now that is quite the story.  

I hope your summer is going swimmingly.
                                                                                  

There have been church things and lake times with my Beautiful Miss A as well.
I may have to do a post just about this, and my sweet Dak.  He has a new tattoo.  Sigh.
Another story another day :). I love him.

I hope y'all have a beautiful day!!
