The Last One (Sort Of)

 So I said I was going to end my blog today, but the boys don't want me to.  I told them that nobody wants to read about what Jason and I are doing, so they promised me they would send pictures, and they said I only have to blog once or twice a month if I will just keep doing it. 

So, the ball is in their court.  If they send me things to blog about, you'll get blogs.  If they don't, you won't.

Both of our new college freshman pledged fraternities this weekend.  I don't want to say which ones they pledged because I don't want to get them in trouble (even though I know there is "no such thing as hazing")

So here is Kyle and his new pledge class.  

You can use the clue in the picture to figure out which one he's in.

Here's Reed and some of his new pledge brothers.  He pledged a fraternity that starts with the same letter as Kyle's and has 3 letters in its full name. 

They are both staying very busy. 

First Day of School #2

 Reed had his first day of school on Monday.  He says he likes all his classes.

  I asked him to make sure he got a first day of school picture and I was excited that he actually listened to me!

Last to Leave the Nest

 It's only fitting that the youngest one was the last to leave the nest,

We started the morning with the Aggie War Hymn.  Chloe was about as impressed as me. 

Then Reed said goodbye to his favorite.

Chloe has one less job now that she is retired as Reed's emotional support animal. 

Move in was hot. It was harder than Kyle's, but way easier than JR's. 

Reed is living on campus in one of the honors dorms, and we couldn't believe how big his room is.  

He has 4 closets! 

He is so close to home, I don't really even feel like he's moved away.

First Day of School #1

 JR and Kyle both started school yesterday. 

JR had orientation last week and facetimed us to show us how nice he looked. 

And had his first day of class yesterday. 

And we got a first day of class photo from Kyle too. 

 His first day of 13th grade!

Move In #1

 This weekend was Kyle's Charleston move in.  

The hardest part was saying goodbye to Chloe.

We checked 5 bags of luggage, flew to Charleston, and move in couldn't have been easier. 

 He's in a 3 bedroom/3 bath dorm with 6 guys.  And they have a great view. 

Kyle and his roommate Charlie

And it didn't take him long to start enjoying his new home. 

Wedding Season

 Jason and I are back in wedding season.  After not going to any weddings for years, we are back in the swing of things as our friends' kids get married.  

We had a very beautiful wedding in Houston last weekend for one of my sorority sister's daughters.  

(I think we forgot we're not still 22). 

I made Jason take photo booth photos too.

And here we are hanging out in front of a giant fan because we're at a wedding in Houston in August.  You can literally see us sweating in the picture. 

I'm Still Not Sure He's Finished

 I never say never with JR, so I still don't believe this was final summer in Gulf Shores.  This was his 4th summer, and they played this video of him on the big screen after his final set. 

These have been such great summers for him!
