May 2025 Randoms

B and C cleaning up after the meet

I've really enjoyed learning to play Mahjong!

Last day of carline for the year... woohoo!

Nothing like the boy bringing a huge catfish
into the house one night!

Coach S had to start the year with dry land with 8&under kiddos...
that was a challenge!

S and Kellen at Greek Festival

C's math class

Her side hussle!

Gigi brought me beautiful flowers in a
super cute vase!

Lake Day with Cousins

We finally had a beautiful day at the lake for our cousins to join in some fun!!  The kids fished all day!  It was the best!  C cleaned the catfish they caught and Melanie taught him how to season it and out to the Blackstone they all went!  Madeline had to be back for a lacrosse game on Sunday morning, but Will stayed the night because nobody was ready for the fun to end!  












Guppy Meet

S is one of the head coaches for the guppies this year.  This morning they had their first meet!

2nd Swim Meet vs. Sugar Creek

We had our second swim meet of the season tonight.  This time, on a whim, Gigi came to visit with us and watch!  The weather barely held out and at the very end during our 81st event after party, it did start raining!  It didn't bother the kids at all and we endured it for a bit but were glad when the lifeguards blew their whistles that it was over!  It's hard to believe we are already two meets down for the summer and it isn't even June yet!

Memorial Day Weekend

Weatherwise, you never know what Memorial Day will bring!  It could be cold it could be warm.  For this reason, we didn't make any extravagant plans for inviting people up to the lake.  

Our neighbor's daughter goes to school with C and she had her some friends up so they fished with C for a bit and then we took them surfing on Friday.  Saturday, C had his boater's licensing class all day in Clemson so while M dealt with that, S and I chilled at the lake house!  As soon as he got home, him and M did some training in the fishing boat and then C was off trolling around the cove on his own!  Sunday was spent fishing and boating and then the O'Sullivan's came over for dinner and s'mores!

Today we headed got everything packed back up and slowly made our way back to what's sure to be a busy week!

Swim Meet #1 at Forrester Woods

Tonight was our first swim meet of the season.  S is coaching so she actually has to try this year... lol!  Should be enjoyable to watch!

So tonight, she had her first meet as a coach.  C had his last day of soccer tryouts, so him and I came in late and he only swam butterfly since it's towards the end of the meet and we knew he'd make it in time!



C's Last Day of School

It's funny, kinda not funny, but C has been in middle school for FIVE YEARS!!!

At MRCA, 5th-8th grade is considered middle school, so he did 5th and his first time in 6th grade here.

We then switched him to SCS and held him back a year so he did 6th the second time through 8th grade.

So, poor kid, everyone hates middle school years, and he's had five of them!

Here's to heading to HIGH SCHOOL in the fall!

So M got a new to us boat this year and this weekend we took it out to learn the ins and outs of surfing with it. C gave it two thumbs up!!

The best place to catch a quick nap!

wardrobe changes involved... lol!
