Hot damn am I proud of myself! Last night the girls and I laid in my bed at 7:30 and I knocked out some blog posts that have been sitting in my drafts. There just hasn't been much time these days...
WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK:
I was really hoping we would have a ton of food left over from Rachel's grad party, but nope. I had a half a pan of my moms lemon bars left over and I've been rationing them so I can enjoy them, haha! I may have hid them...
WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT:
Well, with having Rachel's grad party this past weekend, I've been doing a lot of reminiscing about her school years, and just how fast it goes.
Just look at these babies....
WHAT I'M LOVING:
NOT PLANNING FOR A GRADUATION PARTY!!! Ya'll, I LOOOOVE planning parties, I really do. I just love hosting, but this one was a lot of work, lol! I am soooooo exhausted.
WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO:
So here's the deal. The last 2 months have been so busy not only getting ready for graduation, but we also had many other things come up.

Rachel had Baccalaureate at church, they did such a nice job for our graduates!
April 23 our sweet Emma celebrated her sweet 16, on the 24th she got her license, and by that night she was in a major car accident. I still can't look at all of the pics I have without crying. I did write a blog post, but mainly for our records.
Bottom line is that the accident was not Emma's fault, and we are still waiting for the possibility of charges against the other driver.
My Acadia (thank God she was driving it) was totaled so we've been dealing with our insurance company in getting a new one.
Rachel had her honors banquet where she received the highest honor cords. SO proud!
Memorial weekend we had Brad's family over here for a cookout and bonfire.
Last day of school for these beauties!
Alayna's last day of 7th grade. Emma was at a friends house, so no pics.
On June 3, Brad and the girls took Josie back to the kennel where we got her for 2 months of puppy training! They will do behavioral and hunting training with her (praise Jesus!). I am hoping this helps with her ridiculous sock addiction...
We got the pool cleaned out and filled up early this year! And then proceeded to have cool weather, so haven't used it much.
And then the weekend before Rachel's party our 4th level flooded. The pressure valve on the hot water heater burst spilling hot water. Emma noticed it Saturday night around 11:30, so we were frantically sucking up water with shop vacs and carpet cleaners. We were able to get the carpet pulled up and tons of fans blowing. Funny enough we were scheduled on Wed to get new carpeting upstairs, so we had him check the basement carpet and re-lay it for us. We are hoping the crisis was diverted and everything is ok.
WHAT I'M DREADING:
I'm really just trying to enjoy our summer now and not think about moving Rachel up to Bemidji in August...
WHAT I'M WORKING ON:
Nothing! Haha, just trying to relax now. House and garage are clean and organized, planning is done!
WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT:
We are heading to Colorado this summer for our family vacation, can't wait!
That's about all I've got. I haven't really been reading much the last couple months, hence not time. But, I have found Dance Moms and I have to say....obsessed. Seriously.
Happy Wednesday everyone!
