Closing out summer

How can summer be over already? It's gone by so fast! Recapping the last few weeks via pics (and a few videos) so we can remember all the fun we've had! 

James and I headed downtown to help celebrate our friends' (Hayley and  Kelby) birthdays. We enjoyed a nice dinner followed by a ride with River City Peddlers. It was a super fun night out! 

Emery enjoyed a week of art camp at The Art Project Memphis in Midtown while brother did another soccer camp and I worked from Starbucks. It was a fun and productive week for all three of us!

We finally crossed the dentist off our summer bucket list and it was Emery's first trip. I don't think she minded it one bit! We heart Dr. Clay!

Who's the dentist here? 

Emery also enjoyed a three-day cheer camp to prepare for her cheering debut at the upcoming Back to School Bash.

The last (week) day of summer, the kids and I decided to treat ourselves to a fun lunch at Stacks Pancake eatery. Oh, yeah, and somewhere in there the kids had back-to-school haircuts and Emery decided to go short. She loves it, therefore so do I.

Finally...Back to School Bash time!!!! Emery was so excited. Like, the most excited I've ever seen her. I mean, she was beaming! And the stands were completely packed. So. Many. People. She didn't seem to be nervous but I don't know how she couldn't have been. She did such a great job and we were super proud!

One of our favorite lions, Marquavious! 

All their hard work paid off! 

And then we enjoyed a super fun Saturday afternoon at the Butler's chowing down on ribs, watching the Olympics and just generally having a good time. Our last summer hoorah!

Summer 2016, you've been a great one! We will miss you but are excited to see what the new school year brings our way!
