- So last night I ended the blog mentioning that today was going to be a busy day. It was, but before I went to bed, I searched up the blog post from the day that Bentley had her little surgery. Oh my goodness, that was busy. We were both driving people and running around; I don't even know how Robby was able to work at the time. Possibly these days aren't as busy because we have multiple drivers where Robby and I aren't running people to so, so many places.
- This day started off with Anderson leaving for work around 7:30. Robby and I left at 7:45 to drop Marley off at her appointment. When I came home, i went to work preparing for her return-Bentley was sick so I have towels and carpet cleaner ready to go. (Fingers crossed we haven't needed them yet though it's still early evening.)
- We came home, and I walked and did a few of my chores. Graham and Keaton left to meet others and eat lunch at Newks. Campbell left her house sitting gig and met them there, and then she went to Target for a bit of shopping.
- Graham and Keaton picked up lunch for Reagan who was on her way home for the night. They made it home, and then Campbell and then Reagan came in. I then left with Whitman to take him to the orthodontist. Poor thing, his teeth are already bothering him from today's tightening.
- We came home, and Robby arrived soon afterwards with Marley. On the way home, Robby wrote and said that she still was pretty peppy. She is pitiful, but so far she is not as pitiful as Bentley was. She has even hopped up on my bed and the couch.
- We have her dressed in her little surgery suit, and she is laying on a pillow sleeping right now. Graham left to go and play basketball at a friend's house. Anderson got off work early, and he met up with Graham. Oh, and Campbell was only home for a bit because she left pretty early this evening to go to a friend's house (yes, we currently have 3 cars all in one neighborhood.)
- I washed Reagan's clothes while Keaton made a repeat of last night's taco cups. Whitman was already getting him some soft mac and cheese for his supper! I'm on the couch now, but I'm trying to make another loaf of bread so hopefully it will work better this time.

- Keaton had to be at church early this morning to work the doors so I left first with her. When I left, I wasn't too sure that all of the boys here were going to make it. Graham was stirring, and I think that Whitman was barely awake, but no one was really moving too much.
- Keaton went in to do her job, while I stayed out in the car and played on my phone. I joined everyone else when they arrived. Campbell did make it from her house sitting gig early, but we had forgotten her shoes-Keaton and I were supposed to bring them. Oopsie. Thankfully, she was still wearing some shoes so all was well.
- After church, we left for Grannymom's house for lunch. She had bbq which we all enjoyed. Then Robby and I ran to Walmart really quickly to pick up a few things. When we came home, Graham left to go to a graduation party, and then ended up staying out to play volleyball with some friends.
- I started on a pound cake for supper, and then I did sit down to rest some while the pound cake was baking. Campbell went to Rock Creek,and then she joined Graham at volleyball.
- The Wilsons came over for supper-we had Mexican, and I have a bunch left over too so people will probably have Mexican tomorrow too....if I can get people to eat leftovers. After the Wilsons left, we picked up the kitchen and next I have to make a list for tomorrow-it is one of those days that we need a spreadsheet.

- I slept in a little bit for me today...well, I take that back. Campbell had the ACT so I had to wake her up at 7:20 this morning. Then after her test she headed across town to house and dog sit for the rest of the weekend. She thought that some of the ACT was easier this time than last time, but she said that math was not easy at all. I'm sure she did just fine though.
- After she left, I did crawl back into bed for a little bit. It was nice but Marley wasn't too happy about us snoozing. Robby did get her up and then after a bit he put her back in her kennel so we could rest for a bit longer.
- Robby had some errands to run today so he left to go and do those. Meanwhile, i was at the house without really anything to do-I haven't had many Saturdays lately without being busy. I worked on school work for next year and stayed busy doing that most of the day. I also made a load of cinnamon sourdough which was a fail, but I'm going to try again.
- Anderson had a wedding to go to this afternoon. He didn't seem to mind going, but I bet that the kids wedding attendance is going to really start amping up in a few years. He did look nice in his wedding clothes-I should have taken a picture. I have gotten bad at pictures lately.
- Whitman had Anderson 3D print him a figure from one of his games so Whitman spent a good bit of the day painting it. He finally said that he was going to take a break until tomorrow.
- Robby and I went to eat out with the McGuires tonight. We had pizza, and it was really delicious. Plus there was a bread appetizer, and the butter we put on that was divine. While we were gone, Anderson and Graham went to play volleyball.
- Now Robby and I have just sat down on the couch tonight. He has the news on, but I'm not sure if I can stay awake that long.

- I had pretty much one goal today, and that was to finish one square of my new Christmas blanket that I'm working on. I almost have completed it-this is pretty much the same as my other blankets, but I don't really understand yet how to change the colors during while crocheting in the square so I have to do some more research before I start again.
- Even though I'm not finished yet, I still have three kids out and about so I might have time before I do head towards bed. Robby is even working in the camper right now on the shower so it might be a Friday nights.
- I did do a few things off of my summer bucket list-I finished a book which was my 8th book this summer so that item was marked off. I also made a sourdough recipe-rolls-which were pretty good. I'm trying to bake 8 sourdough recipes this summer, and that was the first one. Then I also made cookies because I'm trying to make 8 recipes that I have saved on facebook, pinterest, or wherever from the internet. The cookies were my first of those recipes to make, so I only have 7 more to make.
- Robby brought the kids home some lunch, and then we ran some errands, and I ate at Tacos for Life. I had the kids rice bowl, and it was so good-it also made me miserably full....or maybe that was all of the sopapillas that I ate.
- Keaton and Campbell left first this afternoon to go babysit. Anderson left next to play basketball with some friends. Graham left right after Anderson to join him and then go to another friend's house. Robby and I left later to go to the Wilson's house just leavng Whitman and the dogs at home. Whitman didn't mind at all, and enjoyed himself so much that he had 2 cokes!

- This was a super nice day-I felt like yesterday was Saturday all day long, so it was nice today not being the end of the weekend. Though I guess for Robby it wasn't the weekend, so he still had to work.
- I knocked out quite a bit from my list which was nice. Plus we even kind of got back in the doing a little bit of summer school each day swing of things. Whitman even helped me make banana bread this afternoon when he woke up.
- Campbell was the last one to wake up. She came down stairs around 2, and that was after I did wake her up to ask her a question. Keaton, Campbell, Whitman, and I did play a game while they waited on Robby to bring them a late lunch.
- Campbell and I then ran to Walmart and then to check out her house sitting duties for later this week. We picked up supper for Whitman, and then hurried back to the house. I took the puppies on a very short little walk, and now Robby and I are sitting on the couch.
June 10, 2026-State Park Camping during Camp Week
Robby and I woke up and immediately started getting ready to leave. It didn't take us long to pack everything up and get on the road. Robby did stop to empty the tanks on the way out of the park. Then, we just zoomed on down the road without any problems.
We made it home, and I had about 30 minutes to work until I needed to run to the store quickly and then pick up the kids. I knew that they were going to be a little late, as they always are. However, I wasn't expecting them to be 2 hours late. There were a lot of other things I could have been doing at home, but at least there were a lot of people to visit with while we waited.
I knew that the kids would be home when they were supposed to get home at 12:30, but by the time we finally all got in the car they were starved. Robby had ordered pizza so we picked it up on the way home-we even devoured the breadsticks before we made it back to the house.
While I was waiting on the kids, Robby had finished emptying and cleaned the camper. So I went to work on washing the kids clothes-and I have just finished. I do still have clothes in the washer and dryer, but those are just blankets so I will be able to finish the laundry before bed.
The kid all had fun during camp. Campbell's team one the week, and I think that Graham's team came in second. From all I've heard, Whitman had a really good time. Keaton and Campbell have been downloading their pictures from the week all afternoon long.
June 9, 2026-State Park Camping during Camp Week
Another pretty perfect day. Robby and I started our morning with a walk down to the swimming area of the lake. It is a huge swimming area, but since the river is so low to get to the swimming area you have to really walk quite a bit. The river really looks to be flowing, but I guess it isn't too bad near the edge. We took the dogs down there, and Bentley was headed in so I almost found out all about the water. Thankfully, I managed to stay on my feet.
After our walk, I read some, and then we headed out for lunch in Batesville. We ate at a food truck called Meme's Burgery. I'm not really sure what all our burger had on it-I know it had an egg, bacon, and delicious sauce. It was absolutely huge and messy, but oh, it was delicious. Plus we got their loaded fries-they had some name too. We couldn't finish them even though we split the burger. They were excellent as well. I think that this place won the best burger in Arkansas award last year, and it was well deserved.
We then ran into Kroger because I needed to pick up something for Reagan that was on sale today. Then we meandered back to the campsite and took the dogs on another stroll. Robby worked the rest of the afternoon while I napped and read (I've read 3 books while here, and finished an audio book.)
This evening we had a shop at Hardee's and ran a few more errands. We ate when we came back to the camper, and then we repeated our evening walk from yesterday. It might have been hotter out today because I'm still pretty sticky.
Anderson worked all day today again, Reagan comes home Monday for 24 hours, and all of the camp kids get home tomorrow.
