Mini Golf and some other fun

Yay, we celebrated buddy Caleb's birthday to day at a fun park in Memphis. Mini Golf, bumper boats and arcade. It was HOT but still fun!

Our little stinker...

Louisa decided to push a bead up her nose today after breakfast... just like her Aunt Becky did 40+ years ago... making our Friday to include a visit to the ENT for removal. Sweet big sis Cora read to her to keep her calm. She ended up blowing it out of her nose and landing it on the doc's arm, UGH!

(it was the red-orange oval one...)

Chick fil A day!

Harry Potter celebration at Collierville Library

Cora was in heaven today at the library! They had stations set up to celebrate Harry Potter. She made her own wand, sorcerer stone, owl mask and practiced some "herbology" by planting some rosemary.

Finn and Bonny

Sunbathing in my herb garden 😖

They're doing well at age 12 and protecting the backyard. In fact, they rid us of our first armadillo last week... I'll spare you that picture! 

After a LONG hiatus...

The Madea crew is back on blogger! Somehow life has gotten too fast for us to record the many memories we are creating. I am making an effort to change this... fingers crossed I can stick with it. If not, I'm sure the kids will happily contribute! They've gotten so big and independent. It's fun!

We spent the 4th of July in Gainesville GA with Greg's family (it's become the tradition...), along with watching a baseball game with fireworks and running the Peachtree 10K

 @ Gwinnett Braves (AAA team) game with cousin Caitlin

 MUCH earlier that morning... pre-Peachtree run

Cheering on Greg! Sadly I didn't run this year due to a nagging knee... fingers crossed I'll be back next year. 

We cheered between miles 2 & 3 (of 6.2)

... here come Duke and Paul!
