8th Grade Graduation & Youth Fun Night

This past Thursday, Preston and I took the day off of work so that we could go to my brother and sister's 8th grade graduation. Since we needed to be there early, we decided to drive after church Wednesday evening. We took Hannah with us and surprised Brinley, which was fun.

Thursday we spent the majority of the day at Brinley and Brice's school for the awards ceremony and then graduation. Brinley and Brice have went to the same school since Kindergarten so it's hard to imagine them anywhere else. When I was in elementary school, we moved a lot and I went to various schools, 6 before high school to be exact. Brinley and Brice both recieved many awards and graduation went well. We followed it with a lunch at Giovanni's pizza before heading to the local airport for some post graduation pictures.



We had planned to swim and spend time by the pool that afternoon, but due to nasty weather and everyone being tired, most of us just napped. We visited with Grandmama and Pawpaw and then headed back home, Brinley came home with us.

Friday I went to work and then that evening we were having a youth fun night at our house. We had pizza and games outside. Later in the evening we had a fire and made s'mores, which is always a treat. We had a really good turn out and all the kiddos seemed to be having lots of fun. We will defintely be doing this again this summer.


Saturday we had a busy day, camp that morning, then Brinley and I made a Wal-mart trip for what I needed for 2 casseroles for church on Sunday. Then that evening we went to our friend's house for a birthday party. After the party the girls went to the movie theater to watch "The Fault In Our Stars"... so good, that's all I'm going to say!

Sunday I was up earlier than usual to make cornflake chicken casserole and cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole for our after church lunch. Brinley and I made it to Sunday school, but we were a little bit late. After church we had lunch and then walked back to our house. I had rented "Labor Day" from redbox because I heard it was a good movie... false, I will never watch this movie again. We went back to church Sunday evening and had a pretty low key evening at home.

It was a great weekend, it just went by too quickly!
