Weekend Warriors

 The boys went hunting this past weekend and had a great time (on a side note, Chloe and I stayed home and also had a great time)! 

They were all smiles when they got home from a successful weekend.  

I don't know the names of these animals, but the dog sure is cute!

Here's the Scoop

 (FYI, I think my title is actually really funny.)

The way Reed's schedule worked his senior year he wasn't able to have a designated track class, so he was going to have to do all the track workouts by himself.  He decided he just couldn't endure that, so he got a job instead.   

He's been serving up ice cream all spring and summer. And since his summer is winding down, so is his time scooping it up.

Isn't she the cutest little customer ever?! 

I'm Doing the Best I Can

 I really am very excited for Reed to go to A&M.  I even went to the first Houston mom's meeting. 

But I just can't make myself do the cheers.  

Or the thumbs up.

 As seen here, where I'm holding on to my purse for dear life. 

Reed was Fine

 You might have noticed Reed wasn't in any of the 4th of July or Vegas pictures.  That's because he was invited to Cabo with a friend, and the way the trips worked, he was flying home while we were flying out. 

But as you can see from the pictures, Reed didn't miss out on any good times. 

Kenny #3

 After we got home from Gulf Shores we had 3 days to rest up before we went to Vegas.  JR and I wanted to go see Kenny Chesney at The Sphere last summer and couldn't make it work.  This year we were able to go for his final show!

I did a really terrible job of taking pictures.  We actually did lots of fun things, but these are the only pictures I have. 

Debbie and me

Kyle and his "wolfpack"

And me with my favorite 90's heartthrobs.

JR and I did a better job of taking pictures.  This was our 3rd time to see Kenny together and it was an amazing show!

At Least I Went on the Trip

 We got home Wednesday from Deer Valley, and we were leaving Thursday to go see JR in Gulf Shores.  I wasn't sure if I was going to go or not, but I didn't want to miss seeing JR, and it's hard to stay home for the 4th of July.

I didn't feel great, but I made the trip and I was happy I went. 

The actual 4th of July was the first day I didn't have to take pain meds!

I Ruined the Trip

 I haven't been blogging because not only have I not been home, but I've also been down and out. We got home from Charleston on Saturday and Jason and I were leaving Monday for Deer Valley (for a work thing for Jason).  On Sunday I noticed my teeth were hurting, but figured I'd clinched my jaw too tightly while I was asleep.  On the plane I started to really notice the pain, and by the time we landed in Salt Lake I was making Jason pull over to buy pain meds.  

Here's the only picture we took in Deer Valley, and it was on the way in to the hotel.

After wanting to rip my teeth out of my head all Monday night, I was up Tuesday morning calling the emergency dentist as soon as they opened at 7 am. 

So here's the other picture I have of Deer Valley.

And if you're wondering what you're looking at....that would be a failed root canal on tooth 19 that's under a bridge.  

(And yes, I'm still dealing with it.  It's still not fixed.)
