Labor Day Pool Party!

Happy Tuesday, friends!  We are on a holiday break week at CCU, so I'm taking advantage of the extra time to catch up here!  It was a fun long weekend that included quality family time, a Marvel movie in theaters, and seeing so many good friends!!  The Wilsons hosted a Labor Day pool party cookout, and everyone invited showed up... the Moss fam, the Myers, the Fultons, the Youngs, the Shoemakers, the Bradleys, the Weatherfords, and me and Teresa! =)  Such. a. fun. group!!  (It was 26 people including 8 kids under the age of 5, and more on the way!)

P.S.  I love how Tate waits to make sure all the guys are really jumping before he goes for it!

I made Oreo balls for the occasion - always a favorite for Mark and Chet!  Probably won't volunteer these again until I have my own space because I felt bad having to use so many dishes for this. lol  It wasn't my prettiest batch, but no one seemed to mind! =)

Tate wanted to show me something cool they found... so we drove a little further down their neighborhood to see it... a magical tree bridge over the sidewalk shaded by this huge willow tree!! ❤

I loved it and told him thanks for showing me!!

Katherine Claire and Lindsey Claire!  (Heidi Claire had not arrived at that point, but yay for my middle name being a popular choice). =)

Tate and Ellie were excited to see each other and swim!

Chettles cooking dinner for us on the very smoky grill!

Kate in her baby Yoda dress and Tate behind her in his Stormtrooper mask! lol

A random crowd shot... I'm impressed that everyone came!

Seeing this kids' table made me very happy and brought back old memories!

He's a fan! lol

I was there from 3:30 to 8:30, so I had time to swim and eat and play with the kids and catch up with lots of friends... including a good talk with Chet, with both Sarahs, with Jeff, with Mark, with Teresa, and with Jessica!  And I left feeling super thankful for this group of friends, as I often do!

JEM with the Pioneer Woman salsa Kelly made for us!

The kids did *not* appreciate being blocked off from certain rooms. lol

So good to see the Moss fam again!

Miss Parker Elizabeth being a bundle of joy!

Harvey Lane wanting to take Tate's bike out for a spin! =)

Katherine scaring Lucy (the cat). lol

And Jeffrey having fun on the backyard swing!

That's finally all for today!  Have a great short work week ahead!!

May the Lord show you lovingkindness and faithfulness!
