Summertime and the livin' is easy....

I love summertime. It is always steamy hot here in Oxford, but if you can stand the heat, then the days are carefree and easy. We enjoy spending time with friends at the pool and the park and love, love, love going to Lainey's lake lodge. Lila had her school end of the year party at the lake cabin and the kids spent their last day together in running, swimming, and riding on the ranger.

 The little guys found their own ways to enjoy the party

 Sweet kiddos

Mischievous little rascals


We take a annual trip to Destin each year for Memorial Day. It started off about 10 years ago with Bradley, me and some of his high school buddies. Over the years our group has expanded as we have all gotten married and had children. This year we had 8 adults and 8 children, with Lila being the oldest child. It was fun but wild. I love seeing all of the children spending time together and beginning to love each other. Lila even had her first "slumber party" during the trip and slept in the kids' room with her buddy Beckett.  Wow, they grow up fast.

It wouldn't do to tell...




 The guys had a successful fishing trip and cooked up a delicious dinner that night. Thanks guys!







 Lots of pool action on this trip



The last day the ladies took a well deserved trip to the spa.  Champagne and relaxation was the perfect way to end our trip.
