Tyler Graduated!!! And Other Tidbits...

My nephew graduated this year from high school and will be off to Utah to work out of town with my brother's company until he saves enough money to send himself to college.  So proud that he is done and moving on to another stage in life.

We have started the summer off with a bang.  We are never at home so don't try to catch up with us there!  Leave a message and we may get back to you before the fall!!!  Emily went to softball camp at UNC-Charlotte the first 2 weeks that she was out of school.  They worked her hard and she got her exercise that's for sure.  We traveled several nights this past week to see the West Stanly All Stars play softball in Rockingham.  Congrats to them on their district win and they are going to Wilmington for the state tournament!  Even though Emily and Abigail weren't a part of the teams it was still good to get to go see them win.
We bought Abigail's birthday present a little early (the waterslide) so we could get as much use out of it as we could this summer.  Every weekend we have someone new over to play with them on it.  It was a good investment for the entertainment department.
We went to Wet and Wild Emerald Point this past Tuesday and we got rained out around 3:30 so we collected our rain check and went home.  We went home took showers and headed to the Speedway for the Summer Shootout because my brothers wife got us free tickets, but then it was rained out.  So our backup plan was to go eat at Hooters.  Brandon got into a game of trivia that lasted 1 1/2 hours and he won us free Intimidators tickets for the following night.  So Wednesday night went went to the baseball game and were handed free coupons for Arbys roast beef sandwiches.  At the rate we are going we are going to have a summer filled with free activities!  Aww Right!!!  Thursday night Abigail went with a friend to the Oakboro festival  to ride carnival rides and she got home at midnight.  Tonight both girls are with Brandon's sister at the Oakboro festival.  Tomorrow we are going with a friend to use a pool at the house of a Nascar driver! No I am not making this stuff up!  It's crazy fun around here.  I am wondering how long we can keep this up before we crash!  Well this is our past few weeks in a nutshell.  Hope everyone has a wonderful summer.
