Bulloch Summer Jam!

Bulloch Summer Jam here we come! To finish Summer Fun wk 10 we headed to the Ranch! We love beating the heat and getting up to the Ranch! It's such beautiful country! It rained the night before which made it so nice to drive in! Zero dust!  

Cousin time is the best time! Non stop laughter and chatter!

We love when Uncle Brent is at the ranch! He brings  the best snacks and treats and he teaches the kids awesome things! Handy dandy work! This time he taught Cash to use the big saw to cut the wood and to build wooden boxes out of the freshly cut down tree! He had the best time! Always learning from Uncle Brent! Cash spent several hours working on boxes! So awesome! Cashy was so proud of the boxes he made! I was too! :)

We even had a surprise visit at the ranch from my bro Ryan and his family! Honz has wanted my bro to come to the ranch for years! It was so fun to see honz frozen face of shock and surprise that Ryan was there! lol Honz had a blast showing him around the ranch and property! Such a memorable day!

Ryan was so excited to swing on the giant swing set that came from the Panaca house! It's been years since he sat in that swing! He was hyped and so happy! 

Piper loves all creepy crawly things! OMG that is not from me! She caught a baby horny toad! and a baby Snake! Say what! Gross! Keep it all away from me!!! She had so much fun catching them! She also loved painting the wooden box Cash made for her! Too cute!

Glasses for Piper!

Back to school check ups! Summer Fun wk 10 also had eye check ups! :) Penny and Cash have been having their annual eye exams and it was finally time for Piper's turn! Penny passed 20/20 again! Every year she wants glasses and never needs them! lol!! Cash passed 20/20 again! My little Pipes steps up for her very first exam and did not pass 20/20! lol My First child to need glasses! Thirds a charm! We got ourselves a glasses wearer! Sweet baby! She was so nervous when the Dr. told her she had to get glasses! It's very minor and she only needs to wear them in the classroom! So I'm feeling it will be a smooth transition! Poor thing has her  mama's eyes! Little trooper! 

Right after the exam she went from nervous to excited! She said she can't wait to match mommy! Awe my mama heart! She is the sweetest! Just look at her trying on all the different frames! I think the best part was seeing how cute and supportive Penny and Cash were towards here! Grabbing all the different frames to try! Penny even put Piper in front of a mirror and changed her hair different ways while she tried the different frames on to see all her options! It was making me have tears in my eyes! The love and support they have for the little sister! My mama heart is full! 

Stopped off to get ice cream to celebrate new glasses! Yay!

Took her over to Costco and Sam's Club to see all her options there! Extremely proud of her! She is so positive and brave! She is going to rock her new look with style!

We found them!! Yay! Sam's Club for the WIN!!! They are clear frames to match mommy with checkered arms! They fit her perfectly! She is such a doll! Just look at that face with her new glasses! She is so proud of them! Her smile is beaming! Wearing glasses is the cool thing and I'm here for it! Joining the glasses club!! We love you Piper and your new accessory!
