August 2016- Gearing up for school

*We started off August 1st with a trip to Six Flags! It was the first time Josh got to go with us, and the girls loved it! Brenna got to ride the big rides, and it made the trip a lot easier on me!

See that line? Me neither! It was a great day!

Oh this girl! She loves an adventure and has no fear. But you should know- this photo was taken BEFORE we even pulled out to start the bobsled ride....it wasn't even moving yet!

*The girls spend a day with Nina while I went to my summer conference....And Macie helped her make dumplings!

*We spent one last day at Splash Kingdom. We got so much use out of our season passes this year! And this time I let each kid bring a friend.

Macie, Kinley, Brenna and Wyatt!

"Ok kids. Y'all stand right here under this bucket and let me get a group picture!"

HAHA! I win!

"Everyone slide down on the count of 3!"
It's my favorite photo  op....but rarely works. This wasn't a total fail.... They are getting better!

*We spent some time at Pops and Memaws just having fun.

I LOVE LOVE these two.

Ice cream anyone??
Only at a grandparent's house  can you eat it straight out of the tub!

*I had to go back to school for teacher in-service. I wasn't thrilled that our summer of fun was over....but it was time. There had been too much "togetherness" in our house, and the little people and the big people need a break from each other! ha!

We had an assignment to complete a set of photos during one of our in-service days. And one of  those photos was a "group selfie". Only the FCS teachers are cool enough to pull off a group "bathroom mirror" selfie! ha!

Of all the productive things I could have done with my free time during in-service...I redecorated the wall behind my desk!
Priorities people. Priorities.

And we spent some time on a bus....touring the city of Weatherford. It wasn't our idea of "fun", but with this group...anything is fun! 

*We had a sleepover with our friend Tia!

Got enough blankets girls??

Dropping them off the next morning at Nikki's on my way to work. I love these 3 and the bond they have! I'm so thankful tht God placed the Thurmans in our lives so many years ago.

*We went and met the kid's teachers. Macie got Mrs. Morris. We didn't know her, but have grown to love her! Brenna now has all 4 4th grade teachers. They switch classes, which scared me a little. But she seems to love it. Due to her having multiple teachers, I didn't get a picture of her with her teacher. But the coolest part of this year is that Wyatt is going to be at school with them! Yea!!

No trip to Peaster Elementary would be complete without giving her Mrs. Boecker a hug!!The laughter is after Macie ran in and threw her arms around her without ever stopping to see what was going on or if she was interrupting anything!

Macie and Mrs. Morris

The three amigos! Together at last!
And Wyatt pose for a serious picture? Never!

*A little morning car ride selfie....because I think they are cute!

*Macie and I rounded our our summer with pedis. Brenna opted to stay at Memaw's house, so it was just the two of us, and I think she enjoyed it a lot.

I do believe this is the face of RELAXED.

She caught me.

I just love her!!!
