Alex and Drew dropped in with their pups on Saturday morning!















We had just finished breakfast and were about to play "The Game of Life" when the boys dropped by with their dogs! Hayley is at the beach this week. Tyler and Emily were taking care of baby Spud, he had his teeth pulled!

Later that afternoon we went by to see Hayley, Drew, Alex, and Daniel's cute house they are renting!!! They just moved in. The house was build in the 20's and has tons of charm! It's surrounded by beautiful old oak trees! We got to swing on the porch swing that the boys just built! The house has 3 spacious bedrooms and an apartment with it's own kitchenette over the garage that is being renovated!









Alex had to go to work, but Drew took the girls to lunch and to Dairy Queen, then came over and watched the ball games with Keith. I ran errands all afternoon, then met Shannon for dinner. After dinner we walked over to Boarshead and listened to Damian's band. Shannon's husband was at the UGA game, so he met us after the game. Keith doesn't like the crowds when he wants to watch the games. He says he has the best view, right in his own living room:)))




Silly Shannon!



Shannon's tennis partner, Damian. He teaches piano lessons and plays in several bands. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!



Sweet Shannon:) I always try to get Shannon on all my tennis teams! She is always so positive and fun and keeps things light!

Tennis nuts had the first annual Olympics at the Bell's on Saturday!



















Tonya Bell is a 4.0 tennis player. (She's the brunette in the black visor). Her son Matt, is also a tennis player. Tonya and her husband live on beautiful property with a lake, tennis courts, and pool. Tonya is so sweet! Her son and her were mixed doubles partners until he got cancer. He is in recovery and doing well! Matt is such a sweetheart! He wanted to have all his buddies over for the first annual Bell Olympics which consists of frisbee, basketball, pool volleyball, corn hole, baseball, beer pong, some kind of cup flip, and paddle ball. Tonya asked me to come and be her partner so she's could join in the fun. Shannon from my neighborhood, also a tennis junkie, joined us and tagged in for me in some of the games! Shannon is so adorable and fun. Anytime music comes on, she starts to make fun of herself twerking! She is always making everyone laugh and has the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy:) Each team wore bandana's. Ours were pink! We didn't win, but we sure had fun!!!

Emma had Julia sleepover this weekend to celebrate her 12th Birthday. Her birthday actually isn't until Sept. 1st.


















Dinner and Boarshead to listen to music with my mixed doubles team!



Lanse, Laura's sweet husband jumped in picture behind me. Keith couldn't go that night, so I was a third wheel, but never felt like one... 



After dinner, we went to Boarshead to listen to Damian and his band. He's one of our teammates. 

Ellie and her friends at 1st North Oconee football game of the season... Titans won!!!



Drew and Alex built, painted and hung this custom swing! I'm so impressed!!!





Everyone watching eclipse together at different locations...



The girls watched it at school and everyone else watched it from work... except me:) I watched it in my driveway and we all texted each other!!!
