Sweet SummertimeFinn's Randoms

Dynamo girls after a long hot day at MSU Soccer camp

Keagan finally learning to mow our yard (it is harder than it looks - he says)


Exhausted after soccer camp

Big boxes can be so much fun!

"24-hour Challenge" that lasted maybe 24 minutes


Happy 21st Anniversary! We went out to dinner via boat. It was a wonderful evening!



What's left of our dessert!




Finn and Jax leaving for Camp Currie


Dax, Preston, Finn, and Jax

Finn - blocking the doorway from the younger kids who were pushing to get on

Third Year Campers got a special badge! (Preston and Finn did earn their 3rd year badges - but apparently didn't show them off) Also: can you smell them from this picture?!

Madden and Keagan - leaving for Centrifuge youth camp with our church - they look so sad don't they?

Just kidding! They are not sad1 Stacey had to get a picture with them.

Keagan and Annie

Geez, Mom

FBC Youth going to North Carolina for Centrifuge

While the boys were away at camp, the girls and I went shopping. I had a return at Victoria's Secret. That was a mistake! Mac and Ivy had to touch all the things (including this mannequin) and Mac asked if those were panties. When I said yes - she said, yikes! that looks very uncomfortable! 

Finn is home from Camp Currie! He is tired, sunburnt and blistered, and in desperate need of a shower. But I am glad he is home!


Finn and Keagan's favorite camp counselor Jerry!

Jerry gave Finn a post card for his last year. Read it below. 


Keagan hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Centrifuge camp







After all the camps, we went to swim at Stacey's house and Jarrett offered to give Finn a haircut. Finn had been wanting to get a buzz cut (especially at the end of soccer season) so Jarrett convinced Finn to let him buzz his hair! Here is the "Before" picture - the "during" pictures might be the best! 


Getting cold feet

Jarrett says See? It isn't gonna hurt. It won't be too short. It will be fine!

First swipe down the middle - no turning back now!

Oh no!


I think it is so funny that Finn had to hold Jarrett's arm!

real tears starting to pop out of Finn's eyes


Finn became super emotional and had to grab ahold of Jarrett - he just needed a hug



yes - Finn is crying and laughing and overcome with mixed emotions. He also looks like he has the mange!

needing to be held up




emotional suffocating



he can't take it anymore!

first glimpse

not loving it so far





AFTER!!! The most dramatic haircut Finley has ever had!!


Finn couldn't stop touching his velvet soft head. And saying "My beautiful hair! It's gone!!" (He got over it by the end of the day)

Part of the deal is Finn got to give Jarrett a hair cut



Finn wanted to drive around the neighborhood. I felt lofty so I let him and he is a MUCH better driver than his big brother!


Finn's turn for CentriKid church camp! And it is his last year.


Finn, Duncan, and Corbin


Poppy came to give him a hug as a send-off!









We never have to worry about Keagan and Kylee having too much alone time - the girls will be right up in the mix!




the girls got gift cards from Aunt Hannah for their birthdays so we went on a shopping spree!! These girls have super expensive taste!






those tiny Sephora bags have high dollar beauty products in them!

Shop till you Drop!

and they both dropped!

The only picture I have of Finn from church camp - with Addy!

Mrs. Mandy was Ivy's speech therapist at school until this year - she moved to another school. She loves Ivy so much that she took her to lunch before the new school year started!

P's in the Pavilion summer activity at church

flat tire while Back to School shopping with Finn - he learned that bad things happen but we don't have to panic! (also: luckily Josh was not too far away at work and could come help us!)

a random date night at Brewhaus with the Malones

Malone and Owens kids after church

Keagan and Kylee got to go get snow cones

Little girls Mac, Emery, Kayden, and Ivy - and all in Nose Goggles

Big girls! Kasey, me, Stacey, Kaycee, and Tracey


this is actually not the whole crew - somehow Stacey cut off the edges of the picture!
