Friend Makin' Monday is BAAAACCKKK!


I was just thinking this morning that I WISH there was a Friend Making Monday post to do...and, well, wishes really do come true! The wonderful fabulous Amber at {aefilkins} is hosting FMMs while Kasey is taking a bloggy break (we all need those from time to time).

Today's Theme:

Top 10 Things I Loved About This Summer


1. Michael doing most of the cooking on the grill. Thanks, babe. :)

2. Cookouts at the farm. (Is it bad that my first 2 favs revolve around food and eating?)

3. Not having to get Isaiah up and around for school. He's not a morning person, but he has been doing a fabulous job so far since he started kindergarten! ILY


4. Family Reunions...the Barney's representin'. We're so hard-core.


5. Visits from friends



and getting this tattoo...



6. The slip-n-slide!

Michael slippin' or trippin' on the slip-n-slide!

Isaiah slippin' like a pro.

and one of my fav shots from this summer...

The Crack Shot

(he'll hate me for this one day)


7. WICKED! By far the BEST musical EVER!!! If it comes to your local PAC, GO SEE IT!!!





8. Meeting up with my friends for Starbucks at my favorite locale. :)

9. Isaiah taking his first trip to Grammy and Papaws. I know it sounds crazy that this would be on my "favs" list, but it was a real growing moment for me. He had so much for, so how could I not LOVE that!


10. Our Colorado vacation, where we had the best time and met up with some great friends and really really enjoyed ourselves.





What a GREAT summer!

What is your TOP 10 of the summer?


Go join in on FMMs over at Amber's blog!


Hope everyone has a mah-velous Monday!

Your summer looks like it was so much fun! Can you believe that it is almost over? But I guess that means, we are just that much closer to the opening night of New Moon, CAN'T WAIT!!!! So glad to be back! Have an awesome day! :)
