Saturday, August 9th: There was a lot going on on Hudson's 15th birthday, including his mama's UNM Graduation and the first day of school. So we took Hudson out on his birthday "date" a couple days later. We had lunch at Red Robin, followed by the movies to see "The Naked Gun 2." Afterwards, we stopped for Chinese takeout and visited his Great-Grandma Pitcher and my niece Ashley Pitcher who was staying with her from Texas. We ate and played games together and then took Ashley with us to our house to play pickleball and corn hole with Hudson.

Thursday, August 7th: Jessica graduated with her bachelor's degree in Nursing from UNM! It was also Hudson's 15th birthday and the first day of school for the Dunlap kids--a busy day!
Andrea Scarberry (Jessica's best friend from elementary school) came to support Jess along with us and Sebastian. Jess decorated her graduation cap with sparkly sequins, her name, and her degree. It was an exciting afternoon!

We stayed at Jessica's house and took care of the Dunlap kids from August 22nd through the 26th while their parents went to Seattle and Vancouver on a mini vacation, plus attended Seb's uncle's funeral in Oregon. It was a great family reunion for Seb!
 |
| Friday, August 22nd: The girls had cheer practice and Beau had football practice, and it was so hot out! |
Saturday, August 30th: Jess bought tickets to Cliff's Amusement Park for all of us to enjoy! Unfortunately, Mike felt sick after the first couple rides, poor guy. Jess also left us $200 for groceries. I spent half that much on concessions and also filled their refrigerator before they returned. Cliff's was a blast for most of us!

Everyone was excited on the drive to Cliff's
