We took our annual ride to the Big Tree to celebrate the end of another school year. This year was truly the craziest school year ever and we were all glad to see it come to a close.

It was a beautiful day to hang out under the Big Tree…

…and, it was a celebration! This school year was a real struggle especially for John, and both kids did great even if grades did not always reflect that.

We officially have a Sophomore and an Eighth Grader. Now, it is time to sit back and relax. On to summer!

They made it through the craziest school year ever! We officially have a Sophomore…

…and an Eighth Grader!

You have to take the pictures when you can. It is just a tiny bit of proof that the kids just might like each other.


It might only be 65 degrees out and the pool water is cold, but that is not stopping John.

Happy Birthday to me! It was a day of relaxation with little motivation and amazing food. The Pulled Pork was absolutely fantastic. That husband of mine sure delivered!

The German Chocolate Bundt Cake that I made for dessert is definitely a keeper recipe! Be careful how much you eat though. Andy had to take one for the team! I think it just might be the most dense cake I have ever had.
