Weekend Wrap-Up: Last Weekend in June

Since I decided to forgo Friday Favorites last week I'll recap more than just our weekend :). 

Last Monday my brother's girlfriend competed in the Miss Daviess County Queen Pageant so we headed to watch! We grabbed some ice cream (because hot!) and took a seat. She won Miss Congeniality, Peoples' Choice, & 1st Runner-Up! We were so proud of her!

We weren't biased or anything :). 

Fast forward to Wednesday when my sweet hubby & I went for a walk. I've been missing him crazy over the weekends but he's back for awhile now!

Fridays are short work days for me and I am so thankful for the bosses I have. That meant a pool day with some of my favorite boys & their mama. 

Ready to go!

Tunic/ Necklace/ Tote/ Sandals (on sale)

Photobomb :)

I started pulling their legs & pushing them away and repeating....he thought it was so funny!

Love that smile & laughter!

Who knows what we were laughing at!

I love his face. 

Ash & I were chatting away and they were playing nicely together lol. 

Sweet summertime :). 

Quick date night before he leaves!

Saturday morning I went for a run and then went to watch this boy play. 

It was hot. But they won and I was so proud of him.

#7 is my favorite :). 

Saturday afternoon was spent by the pool and a boat ride that evening. 

Elin was so nervous at first (it was her first boat ride) but she perked up once we got going.

Her favorite was honking the horn!

Sunday was spent by the pool as well. It's hard to be outside in the summer if I'm not by a pool. 

I've slowly started reading this. 

Perfect view. 

The fact that July is in two days blows my mind. This summer has flown by but I am loving every minute of it!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hi Thursday :)

I am just now posting about our weekend but that's okay!

Friday morning Noah left for some more basketball and I headed to Indy with these girlies....

We headed to pick up our packets and we were 20 minutes late...boo :(

We were doing a bubble run on Saturday morning and went up the night before. 

We had a yummy dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory followed by some ice cream...

...cherry, chocolate, & pistachio. It was delicious :). 

Up bright & early to run!

Before :). 

Getting close....there were over 10,000 runners that morning!

This is the best I've got with the bubbles....I posted a ton of videos to my Snapchat. 

Crossing the finish line! We had a blast!! Brittany & I ran a color run a few years ago and this bubble run was a much better experience. We already want to do it again!

We drug Mary Ann along to run with us and we are glad we did! We've missed time with her :). 

Saturday I came home to spend the day by the pool. 

Since Bruce was gone too, I headed to out help get the girls ready for the Summerfest parade. 

How sweet is she???

After the parade we headed to the Summerfest for dinner....along with entertainment by Elin :). 

And some yummy lemons...Embry loved them!

Our hubbys arrived home just in time for the fireworks!

Sunday we went to church and then back to Somewhere on Patoka Lake with my dad for Father's Day. 

And Sunday evening we had Noah's dad over for pizza along with this cutie :).

Busy, busy and this weekend is looking much the same!

Show & Tell Tuesday - Pets

Okay so I had my pictures uploaded for my weekend wrap-up yesterday and then it just didn't happen. Maybe tomorrow.

But today it's Show & Tell Tuesday and I'm talking all about pets!

If you aren't an animal lover come back tomorrow :).

Now before you continue reading just know that the cat pictured above, Perky, was my best friend.

That may sound weird but he was and I want to be honest about it. 

We had other cats growing up but it seems we never had them as long as we had Perky. My great-aunt always had cats so when one of ours died or got sick, we called her and she always gave one to us. I think I was around 10ish when we got Perky.

I grew up with him and he was the most cuddly cat ever! I mean ever.

He was the best about me playing with him and annoying him.

When I headed off to college being away from him was the hardest. This picture was my first time back home and I couldn't wait to squeeze him!

Perky's favorite spot was between the computer stand and the wall where an air vent was. When the heat was on that's where we would look first. 

He loved other things like sitting on the kitchen countertops.....

.....and sleeping on the kitchen table.

He was the best about snuggling.  I slept on the top bunk in our room and I would carry Perky up there with me. Once I was asleep he would leave to sleep somewhere with more room (a twin bed is pretty small.)

Blurry selfie :).

Joe even got in on the snuggles. 

New collar for the spoiled cat. Sometime in Perky's life we would all feed him when we got home from whatever we were doing. Then when my dad got home (always pretty late) he would feed him too. Perky got huge! So once we figured out that we were all feeding him, the only time he got fed was by dad lol. 

He loved to lay on you and that was one of my favorites!

He was really happy about this picture (if you can't tell.)

My senior year of college I was commuting and we knew Perky wasn't doing well. I got the text during one of my classes that they were going to have to put him down. I freaked! I left class and drove home to say goodbye one last time. I'm crying thinking about it. It sounds silly but that cat meant so much to me and still does. 

The following Christmas my parents adopted a cat, Asher, from the local humane society. He was scared at first but since then has come into his own. He's not as laid back as Perky and I'm not as close with him because I no longer live at home. 

I think we've had two dogs in our lifetime too. They were both Cole's but we all loved them. Princess was a beagle and was hit by a car not to long after we got her. And then we got Johnnie. I call him John.

He's also a beagle and I am not a dog person. At all. 

But he's pretty darn sweet so I love on him when I'm over. John is the neighborhood dog.....everyone feeds him and some of the neighbors even let them in their house to sit on their couch lol!

He takes great selfies lol. 

Now Noah & I have said we will NEVER get a pet. I don't like dogs and he is allergic to cats so hopefully that stays true once we have children & they beg for one.
