Goodbye Summertime!

Today is Labor Day....this "officially" marks the end of summer. Am I sad? Kind of.....we had a really great Summer! But am I happy? OH YES!! We are well on our way to FALL, my most very favorite season! :)

The last weekend of our summer was incredible.....I am so glad that there are a few more hours left to enjoy some family time!

Friday night, Justin, Crystal, Stephanie, and I went to see John Mayer in Tulsa! Mom and Dad were also there, but they were sitting on the other side of the arena....almost directly across from us! I kept glancing over there to see my mom doing the "mom dance" and having a really good time! The concert was awesome!! Now I get goosebumps when I listen to a John Mayer song that I saw him perform!! On a sad note, there was a 17 year old girl, Micayla Patterson, who was killed in a car accident in downtown Tulsa. She was leaving the concert. She was from Springdale, played basketball for Har-Ber High School, and from what I can gather, was just an all around good girl. It really made me think about how we should all enjoy life a little more, and really, don't sweat the small stuff. Rest In Peace, Micayla......I know that there are so many people who's lives you have touched, including mine. John Mayer also dedicated his concert to her. You can read his note Here. Classy.

Back to happy.... :) Saturday, we just hung around the house with Connor and went to bed early...we were exhausted from the Tulsa trip! We also watched a little of the Hogs play Tennessee Tech. 44-3, GO HOGS! Razorback Football season is OFFICIALLY here!

Yesterday we had the Hossley's over for dinner! Sliders and Fries.....ooooooooo, and yummy peach pie that Macon made! I just love watching Connor play with Baylor and Benton.....they are so sweet to him, and he really looks up to them. Sometimes he wants to do what the "big boys" do, and he gets frustrated because he's just not quite old enough. Soon enough son, soon enough :) I will admit, I did get a little sad when we were all eating dinner and Connor didn't want the little pieces of burger I had cut off for him....he wanted the whole thing, so I gave it to him, and he ate it just like a big boy. He is just growing up SO fast! It's amazing the things he can say and do these days! We spend LOTS of time watching different clips on YouTube....from Mickey Mouse, to Razorback Football, to the Razorback Fight Song, to "Teach Me How To Dougie"......he loves it all!

Today we are just doing LOTS of playing! Hanging out and enjoying some time together as a family before the hustle and bustle of the week fires back up tomorrow. Right now, Justin and Connor are sitting in the recliner....I sure do love those two :) I'll snap a quick pic.....

Well, after I wrote this post, we all hopped in the car and took Connor to Petco! He loved looking at the "feeeesh" (fish), and pushed away from the cage holding the iguana (yes!!! lol). We love taking him new places and watching him experience new things. One of the many joys of being a parent.....we wouldn't change a thing :)
