August...we're in the home stretch now!

Ah...the dog days of summer!

Well, actually, those days are turning into the busy days of fall! August wasn't as jam packed as July that's for sure.

We attended the wedding of what is in essence our Goddaughter Wendy. However, I didn't do a good job of getting a photo of the happy couple. We spent the weekend in Tahlequah, OK for the wedding and La managed to loose her second tooth inside Wal-mart. Yes that's right her brother knocked out her tooth in Wal-mart and didn't see where it went, so I her dutiful mother crawled on the floor until I found it. Geez!


To help our friend Randy take his mind of his little girl's wedding we went out and shot some targets! 
Here's RTC shooting a .22. Now I don't know if we'll ever get him to shoot his bb gun again!


This is me firing his AK. That had a bit of a kick!
Here's him with the AK. I think he liked it a lot!!!


The next event was school starting. We are so lucky 1)to live within walking distance of our elementary school; and 2)to have such awesome teachers! 


I don't know who is allowing my kids to grow up, but it needs to stop! How can I have a kindergartener & a 4th grader?



They both have a great fondness for their teachers. For that I'm grateful!


Since school starts before Labor Day Weekend, we took the kids out to celebrate the long holiday with my mom & sister. Great Wolf Lodge here we came! 


We adult ladies had a spa appointment so we didn't want to leave her out. She had her own pedicure in the kids' spa! She had soooo much fun!

What great memories we made! Grammie swam with us in the "lazy river" and wave pool. Aunt P went down slides and was dragged around the "lazy river" as well! Fun was had by all!!!



Great way to end summer that's for sure!!!!

New Year's!

How did you celebrate the turning of the calendar page?


My boys celebrated by shooting...and not hoops. Now before anyone goes nuts that the 8 year old was shooting a shotgun he merely assisted the decoy thrower. However, he loved every minute of it!! He might be an outdoorsman yet! I'm not getting him any Duck Commander items anytime soon, but he loved being with his dad and all our friends!

Cub Scout Day Camp

7 years ago when a small, skinny, little bit of a boy was placed in my arms in the hospital I tried to think of all the cool stuff he'd get to experience and learn. Last week was one of those cool experiences for him and his dad. That's right it was his first ever Cub Scout Day Camp!



He swam,


played games,


made crafts,


learned how to shoot a bow & arrow,

(Bullseye!!!! 2 actually - what a way to build self confidence!!!)



shot off rockets,
5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
B L A S T O F F!!


and learned how to shoot a BB gun.


They were grateful it wasn't nearly as hot as it was in 2011. What fun for both of the Copeland boys!!! They both are looking forward to next year!
