July 31st (Garden Tomatoes)

My fresh Garden tomatoes, yummy!

This was so good.

 

July 30th (Johnson County Fair-Family Outing)

We headed out to the Johnson County fair after dinner tonight. 

We wanted to see the animals, look around and get a treat!

This place is packed.

Checking out all the animals.

The bunny's are the cutest.

I love the big fat pigs!

We didn't want to do rides since we have done a lot of that this summer. 

They didn't have many booths that we could find, so we just got a loaded up funnel cake to share. 

Adelyn got a dirty soda. Then we headed to get a shaved ice in Gardner instead of the fair for Ella. 

 

July 28th-Horrible Long Day-Picking Adelyn Up From Camp/Picking Up Ella's Friends-Chuckie Cheese/Exhausted)

This morning I had to go get Ella at camp with Ella. She was crying and couldn't stay any longer.

Ugh! It was emotional and time consuming. 

Ran home fed Ella a little then headed to get her friends Tyler and Mazey to go with us to Chuckie Cheese. I was in a daze and getting Ella's friends was a lot. 

We met up with Ms. Micah, her son and another Para Mrs. Amanda.

We had a fun time. But it was cut short since Mazey needed to be home in 2 hours. 

We headed to Krispy Kreme to get a donut after, then head home after we dropped off the friends.

Ella liked having them in our car.

I went home and was exhausted! 

Adelyn has been changing lately with not wanting to do volleyball and now having a hard time at the church camp. I am just worried about her. But I think she is just figuring out life and becoming a grown up! Love you Addie!

 

July 27th (Adelyn Leaving For Camp/Stephen's birthday Dinner-Black Bear Diner/Adelyn Camp Issues)

Adelyn was all smiles this morning with her bestie Taylor and her sister Kenna as they left to head to Youth Front to be helpers/mini camp counselors. 

This popped up from when they were little.

Well as the day went on Adelyn started texting me that she hated the camp and that she was in the kitchen cleaning dishes. She was with Taylor but isn't happy! Ugh! 

I got her to just suck it up then we headed to dinner at Black Bear Diner.

Yuck! I don't recommend this place for dinner. Gross.

We planned to go get Sylas and Maddy's just Nick, Ella and I. Yum!!

I saw they advertised this online and we had to check it out!

I thought Nick and I were going to share the flight, but he got me this and he got his own with other flavors. Oh geez. Glad I didn't eat a lot of dinner. Ella got her own but ate a lot of mine also!

I just love their ice cream here, it's the best.

(Adelyn texted me again late around 10 pm and is very upset and doesn't want to be there! Ugh. I am drained. Ella had been acting up the day before and now Adelyn. I am not doing well and so ready for school to start! Ugh!! Hopefully tomorrow gets better??)

 

July 26th (My Veggies!)

My haul today of veggies!

Wow I hadn't been out to pick any in awhile! Yum!

 

July 25th (Stephen's 40th Birthday Party @ my Parent's House-Making Food/Setting Up/Swimming)

I baked mini cupcakes, made white chocolate oreos/pretzels and made puppy chow. 

I also made appetizers for the party.

I came over early to decorate with my mom.

I also made a fun gift of beer, snacks and pictures.

Oh wait I made this collage as well! I was very involved if you can't tell. Ugh! So busy lately.

Adelyn is working. So Nick brought Ella over later. We went swimming since it was so so hot!!

We ate dinner with Ella and all the people that came. 

We didn't stay long since we had Ella, plus we don't drink anymore so wasn't really our jam.

I think my brother had a great time though.

Happy 40th Birthday Stephen!

 

July 23rd (K-State Visit-Adelyn and I touring K-State/Eating Lunch)

If you would have told me that my daughter might want to go to K-State I wouldn't have believed you for my future. Ha. I have actually never been to Manhattan, like ever. Ha. 

Nick watched Ella in the morning, since we had to leave like 6:30 am. Then Micah came over to watch Ella for the day since its' a 2 hr drive to K-State!

We made it and are excited to see what they have.

Checking out the Education department. They are all so nice and helpful. Adelyn might be leaning towards Middle School or High School now. Still isn't sure.

It was a rainy day today.

We really liked the campus and dorms. 

Adelyn really liked it!!

Time to go grab some lunch somewhere.

We found a fun local place. Unusual places but looked interesting.

We both got 2 different chicken sandwiches so we could share. Adelyn liked mine more and I liked hers. Lol! Lunch was really good and fun to just concentrate my time on just her without Ella!

We needed to get back so we couldn't go explore more unfortunately. A 2 hr drive didn't leave a lot of time.

We got home just in time for Micah to get out of our house on time. Ella had a great time with her.

I am exhausted from all the walking and driving 4 hrs. Ha.

So excited for Adelyn's future. I hope she loves college as much as I did!
