Well, I turned 34.
In my head, I know I'm kinda old...but, I seriously still feel like I'm 17 and could walk right in to high school as a senior tomorrow.
It's just that I am double-17 right now.
Weird.
I came home from work and mom and the kids had made me cupcakes and helped the kids get me some presents from the Target dollar aisle.
My birthday was on a saturday and we really celebrated Alex's 30th at the lake that weekend with his and Mendy's besties.
Mendy tried to make it a double celebration which was so sweet...but, I would so much rather celebrate Alex's big Bday!
Cannon, the lone kid of the weekend, perfect as always.
Fave moment of the weekend was how Mendy schooled Alex in slalom skiing. She rocked it.
Sunday we came home from the lake and celebrated with my side of the family by grilling out and swimming.
Birthday celebrating with the Harrisons too!
The next weekend was COUSINS WEEKEND! Or as we call it - CouWee.
Can't even explain it. BEST weekend of the year.
I am already in mourning I have to wait another year for it to happen again.
My screen on my phone was cracked at this time so every selfie is bad and we only took selfies...but, oh well.
We even had a guest visitor this time, Bret!
Brothers....all the heart eyes possible....
I tell Kinley all the time that she is one lucky girl to have two little brothers.
It was rainy most of the weekend but we still loved just being there all together.
Some hashtags from the weekend:

Cannon was the lone ranger baby again this weekend....
Uncle Matt-Matt looks good holding a baby.
Just sayin.
I posted this pic on instagram with some super, sappy sentiments about how thankful I am for every.single.person in this pic.
And I meant every word.
Love them to my core.
We had our annual summer sleepover with Aubrey.
She is an absolute delight and just a joy.
She and Kinley have the sweetest relationship and I totally want to foster it forever.
I think next year Ty and Grady will join in on the sleepover fun too.
Usually we have tons of fun activities planned but this year, I was tired and poor Aubrey had to go with us to the pediatrician for Ty's vision and hearing screen.
Good news is he passed!
She did "love" the chickens though.
We ended the sleepover with a trip to Chuck E Cheese!
So fun.
A few more August happenings....
We love to visit Momma Gay!
Ty got his first sleepover ever and had Sean Ryan over to our house.
They played superheros, ninja spies, had ice cream cookie sandwiches, set up a tent to watch a movie in the living room.
It went pretty well for the first time!
Meanwhile, Kinley was having the time of her life with AG matching all clothes and playing Liv & Maddie until they passed out.
We finally used our free NRH2O tickets on the last possible day of summer.
The Nordells were in the same boat as us so they joined us.
It was a rainy day but ended up being so fun!
Dylan came and stayed until naptime when mom swung by to pick him up and Stacee and I had the big kids for the rest of the day.
Stacee & RyRy
Kinley & Ella
Ty & Mila
As we ended the day, the sun came out and we had a quick Sonic run.
After Kinley started school we had a few more fun days with just the boys to soak up every minute of summer we could. Honey & Boss were out of town so we helped them water their plants and swam in the pool.
We made a visit to the Fort Worth Children's museum to see the Great White Shark Omni movie and play for the morning.
We also visited the Sea Life Aquarium at Grapevine Mills
We had a dinner at our new favorite restaurant Craft & Crab, with its outdoor playground.
Always so sad to see summer come to an end!
