McCall and Neil's Super Fun Blog

After 8 or 9 years of posting on this blog, I'm quite sad to say I'm calling it quits here.  For a couple years I've been thinking I'd go private or start a new blog and never got around to it.  One reason I'm actually going through with it now is because of a weird email thing.  I tried to open a new email account and it somehow erased my old email account and access to other things so I'm going to delete the new email account that linked itself to this blog and it will delete this blog when I delete that account.  It was a huge mess that has mostly been sorted out but I'm still just going to get rid of it and not have to worry about any of it!

So after 1266 posts
Thousands of great comments
and 101,104 views
it's time to say goodbye.

I'm not totally sure but I will most likely start a new blog because even though I post less and less, I still love having it all printed into an annual "scrapbook" for our family.  If you want to leave a comment with your email address or message me on facebook with your email, I'll add you to the new blog once it gets up and going- IF it gets up and going...

June ended pretty tragically when my cousin died of an accidental drug overdose. I haven't wanted to write much about it but I definitely did want his obituary saved in my blog book. I honestly hadn't seen him much in our adult years, but I have many memories from when we were all young.
A friend of their family drew this incredible picture of Parker very quickly to have it completed for his viewings and funeral. She's amazing, this picture is so amazing.


Parker's 4 siblings all spoke at his funeral and were so incredible.  I have no words to describe how impressive their family is.  And no words to describe the sorrow I feel for them.
My aunt Connie had a few more good pictures that she posted.

Barrett and Eden are just in heaven with all the extra cousin time they get during the summer.
The triplets were over one day last week so we got out the old water table and slip n slide for some refreshing fun.  This top picture made me laugh because Lindsay took it (and about 5 more like it) and they all had her finger in it.
I tried next and although my fingers are all out of the way, it's not much better!

Eden liked the water a little bit.


She really wanted some gatorade though!

Bear was so lucky he got to go see Finding Dory two days in a row!  His Papa and Grandma picked him up the first day and took him and his cousins to see the show, play on the playground,
and get a Fizz drink.
Then he went the very next day with my mom and some of the cousins.
