kicks

another great soccer season is in the books!

a trip to the hunt house

we took a trip to the hunt house to surprise poppa for his birthday.

but, we ended up doing way more than partying!

poppa took grace and carter hunting...i think they lasted an entire 10 minutes in the stand.  maybe.

we went on a pond adventure.

there were some explorations. 

we found a snail.

there was a terrifying experience with a stick bug.  DO NOT ask carter about it!  ha!

but, mostly, we just hung around with our family!

#lazyhazycrazydaysofsummer

we wasted no time starting our summer off right!

we are so blessed to have friends with a pool!  they are basically the only kind of friends to have!  ha!

it's also really nice to have family with a pool!

and s'mores!!!

for real, we are blessed to have friends that don't mind us invading their home with all our craziness!!!

since, we don't want to overstay our welcome, we needed to find a few other things to do with our summer.

i'm thinking this might help encourage a little summer reading!

we ran by the library to pick up a few new reads.

carter chose biographies of nba stars.

grace chose the american girl, samantha, series.

we also made cookies and then we ate them. all!

we made it!!!

the school year is over!

i said good-bye to this group of crazy kiddos!!!

grace loaded up at her awards assembly!!!

then, we got right down to summer business!

hello summer!  it's so nice to see you again!!!

egg hunts

this weekend was full of egg hunts!

saturday, our sunday school class got together for lunch and an egg hunt at church.

it was fun to get to run through the church and hunt for eggs.

the parents were kinda sorta hunting too because there was a golden egg with $20 in it!

the jacobs kids did not find that special egg.

but, that was totally ok because CANDY!!!

sunday afternoon, we met the boys and mimi and poppa at their neighborhood hunt.

our soccer buds were there too!

they hunted fast because it was so cold and the temp kept dropping!

then it started snowing!
