Liam’s best bud, Mitchell, came over to swim today, and look who had matching swimsuits!

Owen checked one of his goals off “the list” one day after we had created it. His big personal goal for the summer was to catch a frog. When Kevin went out to fish on the paddle boat, he called up to Owen to let him know that there was a frog by where we park the paddle boat. Owen ran down with a bucket and scooped that frog right up. He was ELATED!! He brought it up to the patio and when it escaped and jumped down the hill he went chasing after it with gleeful shrieks. Right before the frog reached the lake, the frog jumped up into the air and directly into Owen’s bucket. O caught him again!

Today was Father's Day and Kevin wanted to spend it doing pretty much nothing. Chilling at the house, fishing, just us. We gave him a new cooler with wheels, an outdoor clock, a fishing lure, and a lot of space for him to just do his thing with out us in his hair. It really was a perfect day.

I’m so lucky to be married to this guy. The night before Father’s Day, he “let” me go on a ladies’ pub crawl in Oxford, with the stipulation that I not be a train wreck the next day. He and Joel hung out with the boys at our beach and made their own fun while Amy and I were out on the town. Of course, I had to snap a quick pic before I left, and to my delight, Kev is actually smiling!

The boys made a fort today under the same baby grand piano that I made forts under when I was a kid. I used to spend hours playing under that piano. The boys used the blankets I bought in Mexico when I was 18 and a quilt that my Grandma Calloway made for me as a gift before she died.

Today was Liam’s second playoff game. The 5th place D~Backs went up against the 3rd place Marlins. It was the closest Coach Pitch game I have ever watched and it was very intense. We’d score, they’d score, we’d score, they’d score, we’d get them out 1-2-3, they’d get us out 1-2-3. Ultimately, the home team won in the bottom of the last inning. Unfortunately, the home team was the Marlins and Liam’s D~Backs season came to an end. Grandma Bonnie came to watch, along with Aunt Shawn, Bella, and Jacob. Even though we lost, it was a great way to end the season.

Yes, there are two chairs in the playroom, but sometimes it's more fun to share a chair with your brother.
