CAN'T FIND A PILLOW?

Apparently your dog can not only serve as your best friend but also as your pillow.

GORGEOUS BRIDE

 It's been a long time since I've been to a wedding....and especially one that I was really excited about. There are a lot of weddings where I'm happy for the couple but since I'm so old now, there are only a few where I really know the couple well enough to get excited. I'm sure once my kids friends start getting married, the days when I really enjoy weddings will come back. 

Katlin and Claire's wedding was beautiful and fun. Have you ever seen a more gorgeous bride? The kids had fun, especially Colson, since this was his best friend Karson's uncle that was getting married. Katlin has coached the boys basketball teams and taken the two of them on adventures together. He has always treated Colson like his own nephew....and really his own kid. Colson adores him. Wes and Katlin have become friends over the years and have been roping together and play golf together.

And of course Wes and I love Katlin and his whole family INCLUDING his new bride! She's as sweet as can be! So this was a fun night!

 Colson went digging in my purse for money so he could go pay to dance with Claire....all on his own. I'm in love with this picture.

The boys doing the wobble. I love how Keaton thinks he has to lift his shirt to rub his belly.

FLAG BOY

Colson has a new friend at school, Cole. One way to gain friends as the new kid is to be the flag boy at the Willis High School games and let your friends come help you. Talk about getting a big head...Colson thought he was HOT STUFF!!! 

His new friend has been in Willis since 1st grade and actually went to Kindergarten at PDS with Colson. His parents are former Willis grads and graduated with Wes. His mom is the School Board President....and that's how he gets to be flag boy! Cole has gone to a different Elementary until this year which is why they have only recently been reunited. 

This was homecoming when it was pouring down rain but there was no way I was going to get to go home because Colson was out on the field with the big boys and Calli was under the stands chatting away with her friends. 

After this game, the boys even jumped in line behind all the football players to  shake hands with the other team. It was all I could do to not run on the field when they then tried to huddle in the team circle to listen to the coach. That didn't last long....I'm sure they realized they might be pushing their privileges.

This was another game when Cole invited Colson down to help him. Again....he thought he was a big deal.

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY DONKEY?

It's not every day that you see a donkey loose on your street but that's exactly what we found. He had a rope tied to him so Colson tried walking him back to his home up the street on foot but it was taking forever. So then we just tried pulling back in the car. It was quite funny. That didn't work either so we ended up just tieing him to a tree and at some point his owners came and got him because by dark, he was back at his house tied to the fence again. Yes....our neighbors kept their donkey tied to the front fence. It's not every day you drive down a street and see a donkey tied up next to the mailbox.
