My brother Kel was in town so on Tuesday we enjoy coffee together. 

Then he and my sister-in-law came over for dinner and a game. 

On Wednesday we went to my mom’s for dinner and a game. 

Friday started with a teen brunch with our co-op.  This was the boy table. 🤪

Then Nate spent the night with his friends at Monty’s family farm in their cabin.  

Finally, on Saturday we spent the afternoon at my father-in-laws with family to celebrate his 84th birthday! 

So lots of family!!

Summer Fun 2024 - Week 10

 This past week my guys attended “Nana Camp”. My mom picked them up on Monday and brought them home on Friday.  They all enjoyed their week.  Here are the only photos I received - can you guess what the theme of camp was?

Yes, the theme was “games” ha!  

I’m glad they had a great week!

Summer Fun 2024 Week 9

 This past week was one of our “quiet” weeks were there really wasn’t anything going on and we enjoyed it.  The timing worked out well because it has been super hot and humid the past week or so! 

Then on Saturday we attended my college reunion and reconnected with a few friends.  

The slow down weeks are nice as we start to close out summer because September will bring busy days! 

 

Weekly Menu

 Welcome to another week! This next week my teens are going to "Nana Camp" for a week HA!  What is Nana camp?  Well, they are going to spend the week with my mom and just hang out with Nana.  Since she lives close by and we normally (not always) have dinner at her house once a week it is easy to not set aside time for them to "go to Nana's" like they would if she lived a few hours away.  So, this summer, we decided to make sure that happened!  :-)  They are getting picked up on Monday and returning on Friday! 

Darryl and I still have to eat though and yes, we will eat at home for the most part.  Inflation is real so the budget is super tight meaning we need to not eat out! 

Friday - Stromboli and Salad.  This was slated for this past week but I needed to switch a few meals around.  

Saturday - I have a college gathering that we are all going to attend so we will have dinner there.  

Sunday - Crock -Pot Swiss Steak, Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans

Monday - Creamy Chicken Soup with Pasta and Spinach with biscuits. 

Tuesday - I have a ladies dine out with my Sunday School Class that I am planning to attend so Darryl wil probably grab something or come home and eat leftovers (which is often prefers to do!) 

Wednesday - Shrimp Scampi with Linguini and French Bread. 

Thursday - Chicken Scaloppini Pasta, Biscuits and Green Beans 

Summer Fun Week 8 - 2024 (A little Late)

 Well, I forgot to post this earlier this week so I will post it now!  

Sunday - We attended another Summer Concert and it did not disappoint.  This time we got to See Micah Tyler and he was awesome.  

Monday and Tuesday were both quiet days without a lot going on which we actually enjoy.  

Wednesday - I had a Leadership Team Meeting and then after that we went and volunteered at a place called Manna's Market with friends from our Co-Op. 

Later in the evening, I had a Ladies Dine Out with my Sunday School class to celebrate the birthday of one of the ladies.  

On Thursday, we attended the final Teen Summer Library program of the summer.  It was a glow in the dark nerf gun party (Thus the paint on the faces) followed by BoBo Lemonade and Popcorn.  

On Friday we took pizza to my mom's for lunch and then the guys mowed her lawn.  After hanging out there for a bit, we headed over to another Library event - this one was at the beach where they got to learn about and then practice skipping stones. 

Saturday was a quiet day at home before heading to my mom's for dinner and a game! 

Such a fun week!
