An old dog

We are coming to the sad conclusion that Lainey won't be around much longer. 

Her back legs aren't working well and her bladder/ bowels are beginning to fail. 

We spent Saturday afternoon at the vet doing some hail mary testing and then took her and the boys to her favorite place...

Bass Island. 

She was like a puppy again. So happy! 

Saturday night we went to a dirt track race. 

Bear was in absolute heaven.

And here is Sam, saying good-bye to his last weekend as a 6 year old. 

I just want to stop time. 

And here are a few more pics from my dads camera of our trip to Hilton Head. 

I'm ready to go back.

Is this how YOU get out of the car?

captured moments

My baby, who prefers to be water- near rather than water- in. 

Like his mama. 

Bear - who thinks the most important part of the pool season is the attire. 

Also, like his mama.

Honorable mention- I don't have a picture but Sam is on swim team this year, and he is rocking it! 

Bear can also swim like a champ and has progressed to going off the diving board! Woo hoo!

The end of baseball season. 

Bear as catcher. 

Crosby home from boot camp. 

He is doing so much better! 

Impromptu neighborhood ice cream party. 

4th of July!

Golf!

 Quintessential summer. 

Kids, Ice cream trucks, parks and German shepards.

Sam front tooth has been fighting gravity. 

Gravity finally won. 

And all three boys went to a movie for the first time! 

BFG- SO GOOD!

And then this....

Sandlot reenactment.
