The Chamberlain Family Historical Society: Summer Dump

OK, this is like a draft from a month ago. i can't organize the photos because there are too many! i should have broken it down. never the less i will try an caption the pics for my future spiderweb brain.

First up.....

WE GOT A PUPPY! A mini golden-doodle named, Roscoe. Simon went with doug to pick him up, fell asleep in the car until doug had the dog in the front seat to drive home and he woke up and said, "wow, it's roscoe! dad where did you get Roscoe?"

We actually took like a week to fully settle on the name. we had a lot of good ones but with 6 voices, it's hard to stick to one. lots and lots of opinions. SO, since i ended up taking car of him the most (what a shock) I made the executive decision on the name. Roscoe it will forever be.

and he nips a lot. A LOT. and he makes me crazy. I have a new saying, "Puppies are for Dummies" haha. actually i just think i wasn't totally ready for what a puppy really means. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO BUY A PUPPY, CALL ME AND I WILL TALK YOU OUT OF IT.

Even though, i have FINALLY turned a corner and actually like, maybe even LOVE this dog now, i would still talk you out of it. so much work. HA.... nevertheless, he is a part of our family and when you take care of something, anything, you can't NOT love it. it's my mother's heart, i guess.

Summer of the SEV.... Owen and baylen scooter down on their own. usually they come back with these.

last day of school Burger with Ethan, Carter, Caden and Owen. There is a great story about some military men showing up at the Habit and these boys went absolutely bonkers like they didn't know how to act. I told caden to salute them and say, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE" which he did in the most hilariously awkward, i could have died. so cute.

prepping for the concert. Livin' on a prayer!!

Beach camping with Means!! i dropped sophie off on monday and picked her up on thursday night. i forgot to pay the toll roads online (they don't have people at the booths anymore) and was charged 180 dollars for three tolls. UGHHHHHH!!
