Back to Reality


Seriously....I think its about time we start spiking it up.


Mason's hair got lighter towards the end of the summer last year.  It had never happened until then.  I know we've already spent a lot of time in the pool and a week at the beach, but we already have a blondee. At this rate it may be white at the end of the summer. 


We got home from the beach Saturday afternoon, and were able to get an appointment at the doc.  That ear started draining some nasty stuff.  Thankfully at this point, there was still no pain but about 8 hours later...it was no fun. 


Mason has a busy summer.  
He is doing summer camp at Brody's school for a few weeks, he is doing VBS one week, we have a few tutoring sessions, and then some fun time with Mickey Mouse.  

Last week started our first week at CCA.  He has been very excited since many kids from his school go there for before/after care during the school year and also summer camp. 

 Another bonus is his brother goes there.  They have never been to the same school, and it is the sweetest thing to see how happy they were.  They are hardly ever together but pass each other here and there.  

Brody's ear infection made him pretty miserable by Monday.  I really wanted him to stay with my Mom, but he was devastated to not go to school since Mason was.  I went on and sent him with Motrin and instructions for the teacher to call me when he needed to leave (because he was going to for sure need to leave!)  

Mrs. Monica called me around 1:30 and Mom went to pick him up.  
All the teachers said he was so excited when he saw his Bubba in Chapel. 






Summer camp has been super fun already.  They play at several different learning stations, go to the gym, play on the playground, swim every day, and go on Field Trips once a week.  

Tuesday they went to Putt Putt and he couldn't wait.  
He said it was the best day ever. 


This ear infection has been something else.  That thing has been draining for days and we've already had to change up our antibiotic.  He had to stay with Mom all day Tuesday and Wednesday. .  


Mom had a dental appointment with me Wednesday so she brought her sidekick.  I hadn't cleaned his teeth yet so it was the perfect opportunity.  He did great!  For sure, the loudest patient of the day.  =)




No cavities but an orthodontist is in our near future!


When your mom is the hygienist, you get to raid the cabinets. 


That new antibiotic tasted TERRIBLE with a capital T.  He gagged every time.  I may have bribed him with ice-cream the other night to get it down.  




Only problem is, the kid only likes the cones!  Ha. 


All the boys got haircuts last week.  
Brody got the VIP since it was his first time at this location.
He loved that massage.  (ignore the black ear)


The hairdresser didn't believe us that Mason usually has brown hair....



Brody hasn't been able to swim at school yet but, he was able to participate in water day.  


Started Father's Day weekend for John off with a new, filled Ole Miss growler.  

And we cooked him dinner Friday night.


After dinner exercise at the school playground.



Brody got to walk Emma. They may have had a crash or two but all has been forgotten by now.  Emma may never walk with us again...


We swam a lllll day Saturday with our cousin/friends.

And had a little photo shoot.




It was a ton of fun.  We all swam, played games, and laughed.
Five little fishies. (Mason is under water again)


So fun.


Sunday was Father's Day. Time for gifts and breakfast.


John wanted the Captain's famous burritos.  The boys wanted waffles.

John working on his dunk skills...on a 7.5 foot goal. Ha.


We have the best guy to celebrate.


They adore him.


We got the slip-n-slide out for a bit.





And then had to take Brody back to the doctor to switch to another antibiotic.


We headed to Mom and Dad's for dinner.
We let him sleep for a few minutes. =)


The boys got caught.
Brody told Mason he wanted whipped cream.  Mason went to the fridge, pulled it out, and told Brody to lean his head back.  John caught them in the act and said, "if y'all are going to do this, let's do this right" so they did.




Loving on Pops.
