oops...Lazy...that's my only excuse

Man I didn't realize that I hadn't blogged since June.  I guess in July we got busy with vacation to Great Wolf Lodge and then New Mexico.  We got back from there and it was Cheer camp and then August meant full blown preparations for the new school year.  School started and it hasn't slow down, between cheer practice, football games and classroom duties.  I decided I was going to get back on the blog wagon and try to be better at this.  How many times have I said this now over the course of five years?  Hmmm probably too many to count!!

So here is a recap of what was missed of my blog absence.

July:

Rhealee with her monkey floaty at the lake.

My Taryn tubing on her own.  She loves the water!

Rhealee and I enjoying the sun and fun!

I really can't believe I put this picture on here, ignore the big white legs.  Rhealee and I getting ready to tube.  And yes, my arms are very sun burned.  I should have used sunscreen.

Rhealee looking for the lake, with her binoculars!  Gotta love Dora!

The water dump at Great Wolf Lodge

My other water bug.  This girl thought she could really swim.

She went down this slide a million times!  She loved it!!!

The Golden's at the Rangers Game.  We had a blast!!  We had spent part of the day doing a lightning fast trip through Six Flags with Uncle Rusty and Cousin Tyler.  We were tired and hungry when we got to the game.

And maybe a little silly!

Silly girl!

After our cramp packed trip to Dallas, we came home for a few days and then loaded up and went to Ruidoso, NM.  We were there for a week and did almost nothing.  We laid around the cabin, ate good food and slept.

The girls in the hot tub with Aunt Kami

Taryn getting to drive on the Turtle Track all by herself.

Rhealee, Aunt Kami and I getting ready for the race!

Rhealee loved riding on the big kid go-carts.

Rhealee getting soaked on the water bumper boats.  She didn't love this so much!!

Taryn and Aunt Kami got soaked!!!

These deer visited us almost every morning and  in the late evening.

The Golden's in the mountains.

The girls on the monster stairs.  The stairs beat me on the first night we were there and left their mark on my behind!!

My parents and my sister!

 

My family, minus my brother.

August was busy with Taryn's 5th birthday, our 9th Anniversary, Petersurg Day, Mini-Cheer Camp, teacher in service and just the hustle and bustle of getting ready for a new school year.











One of the coaches sons playing on the Slip-n-Slide at Taryn's birthday party.

Emma was the water balloon queen.  The little kids thought she was awesome with her skill!

One of Taryn's classmates playing in the backyard.  His mom is saving this picture for when he is a senior!!  Love it!

Taryn's birthday cake Aunt Tammie and I made her.

 Petersburg Day parade.  Taryn got to ride on the float with the cheerleaders and football players.  She thought she was something else in her little uniform and getting to throw candy with the big girls!

My baby girl on her first day of K!  Where has time gone?

Taryn cheering at the first pep-rally of the year with the mini-cheerleaders

Ready to cheer with the mini-cheerleaders at the Buffaloes football game.

Cheering hard!!

Taryn and Brusier



Rhealee wanted to cheer with the big girls!  Next year sister, next year!

 Okay thanks for sticking around for a long catch up.  I will post October tomorrow night, and then I am caught up and promise to keep thing up to date around here!!
