Bye April

 Greyson and Taylor got up the next morning and made it to church whilte Kendall, Ryan, and I went back to the Lackey's to clean everything up.

These three are like sibblings when they are all together either picking on each other or in a dog pile being kind.  I love it!

We decided to get on the lake for a bit.

First time to surf on the new boat.

GRAD PARTY TIME!!!

Holy cow, how are we already having a grad party?!?!?!

"Sacky" -Kate, Eloise, Samantha, Kendall, and Brookelyn decided they all wanted to have their together, the Lackey's were so gracious to let us use their amazing backyard for it.

We all meet their at noon to set up and meet all the vendors.  They all home to shower and get dressed.

Back here for last minute set ups and a toss that we make it!

 

The GRADS!!!

We made posters for each girl 

and lined them up on the walk down.

Kendall's table- it was very windy so keeping things up was quite a challenge.

We had tables and chairs set up for people at the bottom

Table centerpieces

The entertainment/singer set up on the pickle ball court.

Each girl brought a different desert

I ordered these bags and put chocolate chip cookies in them for ours.

Sacky with the singer (I forgot his name) but he was awesome and did all the songs everyone requested.

Everyone sang, danced, and had a fabulous time.

These two are going to miss each other next year

and so am I!

The whole evening was fabulous and couldn't have asked for a better celebration!

We love you, are so proud of you, and can't wait to be part of your next chapter!

Celebrating, volleyball, and my weirdos!

 These two joined me for lunch 

This is really what they look like when I try and take a pic

Sweet Marley goes and sits by the door when the girls leave for school and watches them drive off, 

it is so sad.

Brought Taylor lunch at school and we had a parking lot picnic.

Never a dull moment with these two, that is Greyson and Taylor.

Or this weirdo

Poor Marley still gets treated like a her personal baby doll.

Friday, Taylor and I headed to Galveston for a sand tournament.

This was about 15 minutes into the drive, great company!

Loved this water tower in the middle of nowhere.

On the drive donw there the tournament got relocated from Galveston to Houston.  There was a big storm the night before and the sand courts were all covered in water and we couldn't change our reservation since I did an AIRBNB instead of a hotel.  So we ended up having to drive 45 minutes each way.

Saturday morning, Taylor and her partner won all three of their matches!!!

That evening after we went back to the house, showered, cleaned up, and rested for a bit we went to explore Pleasure Pier.

It was SUPER windy and cool,

We rode the Ferris Wheel

and had a funnel cake (my favorite).

Crazy enough Taylor said she had never had one!

That was the end of Pleasure Pier which we decided was not so Pleasurable.

Sunday we were back on the courts at 8AM and it was 60 degrees!!

Made it about half way through the first game before we had a 30 minute lightening delay.

Got back on and they won their game.

Started the second game and then we had a rain delay, for about an hour. 

They called everyone back to play.

They played their third game in the rain and it was miserable to watch and even more miserable for them.

They won their first set, lost their second, and were in the middle of their third set (and winning) when they called it because the other two teams had already lost so they didn't need to finish their game.

Which meant they had to ref the next game in the cold and rain.

Taylor played the best I have ever seen her play, she has made so much growth.

ODB NIGHT!

We met at Steiner Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate Ann's birthday!

I had ordered these silver cuffs for everyone that say #LIVELIKEGRAY and have been holding on to them until we were all together.

Jeanna, Jill, me, Ann, Courtney, Krista, and Shannon

Friday night they celebrated Kylie and Kash's birthday.

They took a bus out to dancehall
