Life Lately

 Where do I even begin?  We have been busy enjoying every minute of summer down here on the homestead.  Hopefully soon I can catch ya'll up on the past month and what we've been up to.  For now, I'll share what we've been up to this past week.

We have been spending as much time as possible at the river!  It is less than a mile from our house so we go every chance we get. Most of the time that is after dinner (most evenings).  Last weekend we went during the day and Makena and Trey had a blast tubing, and Carl and I have a lot of fun watching them.  
Trey has to drive the boat with someone over 18 until he turns 16 (next month!!).  We have been taking Boone occasionally.  He loves the water and just dives from the sandbar into the water.  He is such a happy dog and is so handsome in his life jacket, don't you think?!

We have also been swimming with the cousins! They always seem to pair up (which I am not a huge fan of). Trey and Noah do their thing, Eli and Ellie are closer in age than anyone else, and then Makena is either with me or Carlie when she is out. This is the last week for the Simpson kids to be here for a full week at a time. They start back to school next week.
 Carlie is off on Monday and Tuesday for this month, so she has been able to come and swim with us as well.  It does my mama heart good to be able to spend time with all three of my babies at once.  It doesn't happen like it used to and I really enjoy it. 

Captain Carl!

I hope you all are having a wonderful week!  We are in a heat advisory, so if you aren't in the water, you better be indoors.  
Happy Hump Day!!


Much Love,
Beth

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
