Wacky Wednesdays

One Wednesday after church
instead of Walker and his buddies
going to eat with the church group,
they decided to all go eat 
at Fuddruckers with a group of girls.
Kelli G and I just happened to be
the moms that took them all:)
We giggled from across the restaurant
that they all sat on the couches to eat!  
The girls did one thing 
and the boys did another;)
A super cute group of kids!
Huds and Hads never too far away from them;)
Cade, Logan, Kyle, Walker, Jared
Claudia, Kate, Caroline, Ella Reid
They really are a great bunch of young people.  
I love each of their parents, too.  

On the way home, the guys persuaded
me that they needed to wrap the girls'
house where they were having a slumber party;)
We really did need to get them back!
So I fell for it!!!
I made all the boys call their moms
and ask for permission to go wrapping;)
LOL!  And of course I explained
how the moms of the houses we 
were going to wrap were cool with it!  
BECAUSE they had wrapped US first!!!
It was ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even this little guy was in on it!!!
SCARED Mama!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were all cracking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my boy!
...Right before we got busted!!!  ;)
Funny night!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just making memories:)
The next day we went to inspect our work;)
These are some funny summer days
hanging with 12 and 13 year old boys!;)
(No parents were upset by any of this...
everyone knows that we are all best
friends and just having silly times
with our kiddos!)

Baxter

Meeting BAXTER,
the Moores' precious new puppy!!!
Mark and Jared brought Baxter
over one night shortly after they 
got him and we just fell in love!
Even I did;)
and I'm not a dog person.
Or an animal person.
Love them for others...
but just not for me.  
BUT seeing a picture like this
of my boys with a dog makes
me sad that we haven't gotten them one:(
We had just started maybe considering a
puppy and then I got pregnant!  
I always tell Walker he got a baby
brother instead of a dog!!! ;)
This little girl is PETRIFIED of dogs.
It truly makes me sad for her
and I don't know how or when this
fear came to be...but it's REAL.
That's why THiS picture is CRaZY!
Baxter even won Hadlee over:)

Baxter hanging with the Pierces
another time during the summer!
Sister wasn't quite as sure
about the puppy this time.........
But COME ON!!!
Hadlee had swimmer's ear and was
pretty much MiSeRaBLE...
Baxter ended up perking her up!  :)
Such a precious puppy!!!
Huds + Bax
I mean, seriously!!!!!!
We must get this kid a puppy!
BOTH of my boys need a puppy!
We had a blast babysitting the little pup!
Even Daddy fell for Baxter(:
Driving with a puppy...
I had to send these pics to 
Haley and Angie:)
Puppy LOVE!
