Annual Ence Quail Hunt!

To finish out October wk 3 weekly recap here's what my boys were up to! It was the annual Ence quail hunt! The annual epic boys trip set in motion! My boys worked all week preparing, packing, and getting ready for the Quail Hunt! My boys look forward to this weekend every year! It truly is Cash's highlight for the fall season! Gramps picks him up early from school on Thursday! Honz rushed home to head out of town! Cashy getting older has been really nice for daddy! Cash got a ton of odds and ends things done and ready to pull out of town! Yayyyyy Cashy! Love how responsible he is and his eagerness to work hard to be able to play hard! :) Makes me and daddy so proud! 

All the hiking! All the hunting for the quail! All the shooting!  All the eating! Every last sec is worth every memory made on this annual trip year after year! 

Not very many birds this year at all! Too much rain and weather came through and pretty much washed or scared the birds away! But that didn't stop my favorite boys from having the best time! My boys sure loved catching up with all the family! So many stories! So much laughter! They truly have the best weekend ever together! So proud of my Honz for capturing so many awesome pics! Oh how I love my favorite boys! Another amazing quail hunt in the books for my boys! :)

Happy Hoco #2 for Penny!

On to the Happiest Ever Homecoming Ever for Penny! In my last post you can see it has been a crazy busy stuco week planning, prepping and being ready for Hoco and now it was time to get pampered and glammed up for the Hoco dance! Happy hoco #2 for Penny with Brighton!! Brighton is one of Penny's bestest friends ever! They always have the best time! Penny was super excited for this Hoco group too! It was planned with her fun friend group! Most all the people in this group are her closest friends and stuco friends! Yayyy! To start Brighton asked her with Gold Fish and not the kind you eat!! The actual fish in a tank! lol 5 of them to be exact! haha She is still currently taking care of her new babies! hahaha She replied with a Fish theme as well and gave him a tackle box full of all sorts of "fish" themed gummy candy! haha So fun! and now we have reached Hoco day and the day was packed! She was up early for morning Pickleball!

She had a blast! Lot's of laughs for sure while playing pickleball cause she says she's a terrible player! haha and her date is an amazing player! lol Oh well! lol They still had so much fun! Then it was Brunch time! Delicious crepes for the win and Penny was in heaven! That is her favorite breakfast food ever! Yum! 

While the group was all doing pickleball and brunch I took  my side kick Piper and went to Trader Joes to get all the flowers! I stuffed 2 buckets of flowers full and away we go! I loved being on flower duty! It was a little chaotic cause every girl going to Arbor's hoco was there buying flowers but it was so much fun! The girls arrived from brunch and got to work! It was so fun to watch them plan out their bouquets! Loved helping them make their boutonnieres too! All of their bouquets and boutonnieres turned out perfect! Each girl had their own style and color to go with their dress! It was awesome!

 Then it was time to get all beautified and ready for the Dance! 

All glammed up! Just look at my gorgeous girl! Her dress we found at Dillard's after shopping that store 3 different times! lol Love it! It was an olive green with beautiful texture fabric! Simple but stunning! Loved the cut and style of it too! Green is such a beautiful color on her! Makes her eyes so green! Oh how I love my Pretty Penny! 

Next up! Picture time and the boys did not plan this one out very good! lol 45 mins for pictures with 12 teens- 6 couples is not enough time! and of course they were all running late so basically 30 mins to get all the pics done! Yikes! and to top it all off the location of pictures! haha There was no shade, fine sand, wind picked up and sun blazing! Harsh sunlight! The odds were all stacked against us! lol and you know pictures are my thing! lol actually my favorite thing! But we made it work! We found 1 tiny shade spot that we all shared the best we could and were successful! Maybe not as many pics as I wanted but we scored with some great ones! The few that we got actually turned out amazing! The rock detail behind them was super cool! They looked so good together! 

We tried our best and got what we got! lol Look how cute they were! Loved Brighton's gray suit and the green floral tie! They matched perfectly together! He even surprised her with a corsage! It was all "drippy" with jems and white flowers! It was absolutely gorgeous! She was so surprised and so excited! Such a gentleman! The cutest of the cuties ever! lol :)

The gorgeous girls!! All such great friends too! I love seeing all their dresses and styles! Beautiful besties inside and out!

The amazing group!! Such awesome kids right here! We could only get a couple shots because of the lighting and wind picked up! The sun was a blazing! lol We tried our best! lol 

Snapped this one last group shot before we ran out of time and hiked back to the cars! lol The girls feet and shoes were destroyed! lol We went through a whole pack a baby wipes to get their shoes and feet back to normal! hahaha It's all in the experience right! They were still having a blast! Love it!

One of the other moms also shooting pics snapped these of the girls'! Absolutely love these bestie shots! Wish we could have gotten more! and some with the rest of the besties in the group! Dang it! Ran out of time! But we love the pics we got!! :)

They jumped into Ryan's 12 passenger van which was insanely iconic and rushed over to dinner! They were a tad late but it all worked out! Bj's for Dinner and it was yummy! I was obsessed with the 12 passenger van they were whipping around in! lol So fun to all be together all night! Love it! Next up was Escapology! They split into 2 groups and did an Escape room! Penny had so much fun! Theirs was Star Wars themed! They made it though with a lot of extra time to spare! Wahoo! 

They rushed back over to the Dance at Arbor! They had to go to the dance because most are all in Student Council! It is required to go to the dance portion for an 1.5hrs! Then in addition they have to stay help clean up! So here is the school dance fun! Lot's of dancing! Lot's of moshing! lol Penny had so much fun seeing more friends at the dance! She's got friends every where! Love that for her! Last stop was back to Eli's house for swimming, more eating and chilling! They made several tik toks and had a blast! She came home exhausted! lol Such an epic Hoco for her Junior Year! Thanks Brighton for being such an awesome date and spoiling my Penny! She had such an epic day!
