Breckenridge #1

 We spent less than a week in Breckenridge this summer.  Chloe didn't get to go (which she was furious about) but we didn't do much of anything but relax. 

Reed went to the top of the peak.



And Kyle panned for gold because we were such mean parents we never let him do it as a little kid.  



Jason and Scott dressed like they were going to a 1983 themed frat party.



And we tried to take a selfie with the gondola in the background.

My Official Resignation

 I started this blog on September 1, 2007.  I've documented every single thing that's ever happened in Kyle and Reed's lives and everything since JR was 4.  

Reed tells me all the time, "your blog used to be so funny. and now it's not funny anymore".  And I have to say, "Well, y'all don't do funny things anymore."  

As the kids have gotten older, I've definitely slowed down blogging, and I think it's time for it to come to an end.  I'm telling you now so I can get you all prepared that my last blog will be September 1, 2026.  

19 years was a pretty good run. 

I'm glad I was able to document all the things. We can look back and see where we were, where we've been, and where we went. 

And Jason, Chloe, and I are looking forward to this next season!

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!
