Snapshots

There are huge gaps in my family journaling from the last two years when I spent every waking minute in school. I feel like I was so busy living my life that I didn’t pause often enough to document what was happening in my children’s. I’m now trying to go back and fill in highlights like prom, birthdays, trips, etc. but a lot of the little things are long forgotten. But we carry on. Here are some silly snippets from the weekend. 

Quincy and Corbin both went to haunted houses this weekend.  Corbin went with Finn Hayes to Nightmares in Bella Vista, and Quincy went with friends to a haunted asylum in Cave Springs. Here they are posing with “Stan” the creepy clown growling in Gracie D’s ear. (Dacie S, Sadie C, Q, David S, Brightyn G, Gracie D, Stan, Ryan M, Baylee G, Elle R, Parker O, Zach V) 

These kids love to have fun. A few times over the summer and again this month, they set up a projector movie in the abandoned historical schoolhouse in Bentonville and watch scary movies. They play melon ball and pickleball, they go to each other’s choir and band performances and track meets. They go on fry crawls and eat out on Thursdays after school. They are open invite and bring in more friends any time anyone wants to join. Great kids. Kind, supportive, inclusive. 

Soren went to his buddy Lucas’ house and a movie this weekend 

We took a family bike ride on Saturday. It was sooo crowded but fun to get out on the trails. Bear and Esme did a great job keeping up with Soren, aaron and I. Sloane opted out and lived her best life at home pretending she is an only child. 




Aaron fixed the smoker. 

This is monumental. 

Plus he looks hot with his hat on backwards and grease on his arms. He needs to put some socks on those dogs though. Haha. What a babe. I am so lucky. 


On Friday I called up Laura H and dragged her around vintage market days with me. I spent a small fortune on Yoders hand pies and a large fortune on some vintage chairs that now sit at the ends of my dining table. We also saw Julie S there with her mother in law Christine. Autumn in NWA cannot be beat!
