Weekend Recap

We had a super fun summer weekend around here so I wanted to recap everything I can remember. 😊

Summer mornings have been popular for playing baseball in the garage in underwear only OR outside in the driveway almost fully clothed. Haha! Friday morning immediately following breakfast they all took off outside to play. And mama tackled some chores solo while listening to a podcast. A new thing for me that I'm really enjoying!

The boys are also loving foosball this summer. For this particular game, Layton was watching and cheering non-stop. It was after supper and Terrell and I were downstairs cleaning and kept hearing him cheer for both of his brothers over and over and over again.... so when I went to investigate this is what I found. 😊 We had a pretty fun, simple, at-home Friday.

Then, Saturday morning was all about party prep! We hosted a combined birthday party and Father's Day celebration for 3 members of Terrell's side of the fam at our house Saturday afternoon and the main event was his sister's 40th birthday!! We had so much fun decorating and getting ready for our little get-together. 

We found a few cute decorations and one of our favorites was caution tape that said "Caution, Old Zone, Slow Senior". Hahaha. 

Terrell also had the idea to tie black balloons all around the pool. If you look closely you can see them. I loved his idea. 

We also found a caution sign to add to the deck. Haha! Everyone LOVED all of our little decorations.

The party started around 2:00 and we swam and laughed and had water squirt battles and had so much fun. 😊

Pool parties are my favorite. 

Terrell grilled for us and after we ate the honorees got to open their gifts.  

A funny, new tradition we've started with Terrell's family is taking a selfie every time we all get together. So after dinner and dessert and presents, we went out to the deck to keep the tradition going. And this time we took not one, but TWO family selfies! 😊 First, we got one of Terrell's Granny with us. She is about to turn 96!!

Then we did another one by the pool of just the 11 of us. They both turned out great! 

Then there was more swimming before the Redings had to get on the road for home. But not before I snapped a cousin picture! We had so much fun celebrating with everyone and loved hosting another pool party. 

We wrapped up our Saturday night by letting the boys stay up late to watch the entire Atlanta United game. We came away with the victory and had some tired boys come bedtime. Saturday was pretty awesome for the Selph boys. 😊

Sunday we went to church and then came home and had leftovers for lunch. Then I bought groceries and had a little rest time before joining my guys at the pool. 

We grabbed take out for supper and then settled in to watch the MLB All-Star announcement show. I should have popped popcorn given how excited the boys were and how they hung on every single word. Haha. We are so thrilled and proud of our Braves who made the team!! 

We enjoyed a GREAT summer weekend. I'm so thankful for summer, family, and pool parties. 😊

Happy Tuesday!
