A Day for Goodbye's

This past Friday our girls held their traditional Goodbye Summer Party. There's no other way to say good-bye to summer than with swimming, water balloon fights, snow cones and friends. And you bet Carter is right in the mix of all these girls.



 Braden, London, K & Brynn

 Important work these feet have to do - filling up water balloons

 Miss Raya - hands down is always camera ready 






 Love this little guy 

 Strategizing meeting



Nothing like a good snow cone - Tiger's Blood was the popular flavor choice





After the goodbye summer party was cleaned up we had to say a not so fun good-bye to our babysitter. I know the kids didn't want her to go but it is Tim and me who were left with the biggest loss!!! It honestly took us a LONG time to find a sitter we all adored, a sitter we trusted and one who loved our kids so much and wanted to be here. Lindsey was super dependable and that is hard to find nowadays. We have loved getting to know her the last three years and seeing her graduate and move on to bigger things. Although we know we are on her first stop when she comes back home for Christmas. Already lining up dates! 

Right as Lindsey was about to leave Carter runs out of the room and disappears. He comes running back with his beloved Finn McMissile car from Lightning McQueen 2 - he LOVES this car. He runs straight to Lindsey and gives her the car telling her he wants her to take Finn with her to college! It was the sweetest thing ever - and Lindsey knows how Carter loves his cars!

Funny story: I was getting Carter up from his nap and told him Lindsey was on her way over to say goodbye because she was leaving for college. He said college mama...does Jesus live in college? No Carter, Jesus is in heaven (and your heart bud). Well, Mom does Nonie live in college? Nope buddy Nonie lives in AZ. OK mom just Lindsey going to college.
