This week Tatum has been at TBarM Camp in New Bransfuls. Its a Christian sports camp for girls and boys. I have been checking in on her through the camp websites pictures and she looks like she is having an awesome time!
So at home its been me and the boys. Needless to say, it has been a 'different' kind of week. I now see that Tatum brings some kind of balance to the boys. It's kind of lonely being a boy world. Those of you moms that live it everyday...God bless you. I know I would get use to it, but it's nice to have that little girl there to be 'girly'. I have missed her this week and even though they don't want to admit it, Keaton and Weston have missed her too.
Keaton has figured out how to play the 'Tatum's at camp and doing cool stuff' card. Every time this week that he has wanted to do something that is no a usual he asks, then follows with "Tatum's at camp and she gets to do special stuff". For example, sleeping on the couch is usually reserved for weekends. This week he has asked almost every night to sleep on the couch because "Tatum gets to sleep somewhere cool every night".
We are all excited to get her back and to hear all about her fun times. Keaton is excited to hear, because next year he gets to go to camp also.

Growing like a flower
This week Keaton has been enjoying a little nerd time. He has been going to Camp Invention at one of the elementary schools in town. Keaton has, of course, loved every minute of it. At the camp, he has taken apart a DVD player, learned about bugs that use infrared vision to navigate, built a clubhouse out of recycled items, and learned about all that science stuff he always wants to know about.
As we are driving Keaton to his camp, we pass a field with TONS of sunflowers. Weston announces every time, "Look at all those funflowers!" As we were walking into the school to drop off Keaton, I was carrying Weston. I told him he was getting heavy and must be growing. Weston looked at me and asked "Am I growing into a funflower?"

Summer fun
We have been going, going, going since the last post!
We started it off with our annual adult retreat with our Sunday school class. From Friday to Monday we hung out at Surfside beach and had a relaxing time. While we were there the kids stayed at Mom's with mom, Marc and his three kids. They had a fun getting to hang out with their cousins. They all slept in tents of one kind or another. The first night there, Marc asked Weston if he wanted to sleep in a tent. His response was no, so Marc asked where he wanted to sleep. Weston's response was 'between Keaton's feet'. Silly boy!
Monday all the adults went to get our kiddos. Mom, Marc, Stacey and the triplets met us at Moody Gardens in Galveston to go the aquarium. It was an adventure for sure, but everyone had a great time.
From Monday to Friday there were 14 children and 12 adults crammed into a 6 bedroom beach house! It was a chaotic, loud and fun! We all learned alot about each other and Jarrek and I learned to appreciate the ages of our children. There were times I just looked at them and thought in just a few years they wouldn't want or need us for anything. It filled me with relief and then sadness. But none less, we already have been talking about our beach trip next year! It's something we all look forward to all year long.
