Poker Run 2017!

What a FUN weekend!!! You will see several different boats through out these pictures as Clayton, Gary and I did the the poker run on the boat below and Mom and Jim and the gang did the run on Wine n Down and then we have the Hills on their boat and Nathan and his crew on his! 

The helicopter snapped this picture of us!

The next couple and a few more at the bottom were taken and posted on the Lake Lanier Poker Run Facebook page 

Hands are in....

Wow our cards stink! Clayton and I had the best hand with a pair of 7s. Good thing we weren't out there to win ;-)

Our crew minus two

Never know what you will see on the lake =O

Moving days......

It's been a long week but a GINORMOUS THANK YOU to all of our family for dedicating so much of their time and effort to help us move the last several days.....we are almost done!!!

A welcome to the neighborhood treat for Haley, Noah and Brody from 3 of the girls on our street!! There were more chocolates but.....the kids couldn't wait to eat these!! Plus they brought them popsicles over too and asked the kids to come play and jump on their trampoline! So sweet and thoughtful of these young kids! Since Haley had cheerleading that night they didn't get to go play until the next day. Haley, Noah and Brody went and knocked on their doors to see if they could play and next thing you know the street of maybe 8 houses was full of 12 kids all around our kids ages!!! There are actually a four more just within those 8 houses but they weren't home to play that evening. So no less than 17 kids on just half of our street and culdasac....it's going to be some fun several years here!!!!

The morning we started moving out of the old house and into the new it looked like this rainbow landed right in our new house front yard! I hope this means lots of luck and happy memories here!

Kodas last run in the big open baseball field!

Last load from the old house before the movers came the next day to get all the big furniture.

While we may not have had furniture there yet we all had a sleepover in our bedroom the very first night together!

Big movers showed up with 2 huge trucks! Lots of furniture to be moved!

Kids very first night sleeping in their new rooms in their beds. Yes. It was 10:15pm by the time we got the last bed put together but everyone slept great that night!

Old house is under contract and we close 7/31/17!

Everyone is adjusting well to the new house and yard =D

So proud of Haley for getting up the next morning after playing with all of her new friends and making muffins for all of their new friends ALL BY HERSELF!! Literally I was on a conference call and Clayton was on a work call and she had zero help. She read the directions and they turned out perfect! She wrapped the plates, wrote her own notes and she went door to door delivering them to her friends!

She's watching me work =D

Summer Loving....having a blast!

When we aren't cleaning the house for yet another showing and trying to sell the house, negotiate contracts, or buying, cleaning and painting our new house in preparation for moving in, or working full time and cheer practices we are spending every minute at the lake enjoying all this time with the kids, family and friends! I absolutely love this place....very minimal technology for the weekend and it's too loud with all the people, boats, and music for phone calls. Just living in the moment! 

Brody's entertaining himself at the new house while we determine what color paint for the basement and clean!

Apparently it's exhausting for him =D

Cousin time!!!

Morning runner right here =D

Working and playing

The fish were hungry!! These kids caught so many fish it was crazy!!

Noah was quite the tour guide all night!!

A beautiful rainbow after a 5 min rain shower

Always gives way to an amazing sunset for grilled dinners, smores and wine by the fire!

Last evening before all the family heads back home....tacos, trampoline and b day cake for Rileys b day!
