Kensley's first sleepover

Well, not technically, because she's stayed with grandparents a lot, but it's her first "friend" sleepover. While Carter's friends came over a few nights ago, Kensley went to stay with my friend Angie & John Michael. Angie's practically her second momma and John Michael is like her brother, so she was really excited! They were so cute talking about it together. Kensley told everybody where she was going that night. She woke up from her nap & was ready to go.

Angie took them to Sonic for supper.


They rode the little merry go round.


And had "th-lushies" as Kensley calls them.


Then home to play and bath time. When Kensley got in the tub she told Angie, "Wow... i want to spend 4 nights at your house!"



Angie said they finally went to bed about 10:30 and cuddled each other the whole night. So sweet! K wasn't ready to go home when I went to pick her up the next day & JM wasn't ready for her to leave. So I would say that this first sleepover was a success!

Carter's Birthday Sleepover

Carter celebrated his 8th birthday last week. He wanted to have a sleepover for his party, so on Tuesday night, that's what we did. One of his friends was sick & couldn't come, but Peyton & Jack were there. We went swimming at the YMCA, came home, ate pizza, they played, had cake at 9:30 pm (what was I thinking?!), they watched a movie & finally I convinced them to turn out the lights about 12:30am. They had a fun time together!



Check back soon for Kensley's sleepover pics... hee, hee!

Holiday Weekend

We had a busy, but fun weekend. The kids were in Y camp all week long. Kensley's little group celebrated on Friday with a patriotic parade around the Y. They were given tutu's, hats and a star wand to march around with.

Friday night we went to Hickory to celebrate Carter's 8th birthday. We had supper with Mimi & PawPaw & he opened presents. Then MamMaw & PaPaw met us to pick up Chandler so he could go on a trip in PaPaw's big truck on Saturday.




Saturday afternoon some of my girlfriends from college came to the Boiling Springs Y & we spent the afternoon together playing at the pool.

Sunday we spent the afternoon & evening at Moss Lake. Some friends from church have hosted at their house for several years now. It's always a big crowd from church and the kids look forward to playing in the lake, riding jet skis & watching fireworks. Kensley LOVED the jet ski this year. She didn't really want to share her Daddy for anyone else to ride. But she had fun in the lake too. The boys always love playing with all of their friends from church and watching the fireworks at the end of the day. Here's a few pics from our day.
