Is this really the end?

Rel Mollet Books, Family, Food and Drink

Are you as freaked out as I am that this summer is nearly over? The Minnesota State Fair started over the weekend and it signals The End.

(these are my sons, hanging out last year at their favorite food stand! (okay, not really, but they had to try it!))

The End of corvette rides with the top down to get ice cream.

What it looks like now! (the PRE-reveal!)

Rel Mollet Book Excerpts, Books, Family

So, we’ll just call this the PRE-reveal.

The Almost There reveal of our massive upper level remodel. The reveal without the pictures on the wall and the pretty floral arrangements. And baseboards. And doorknobs. Oh, and trim.

Okay let’s not get picky.

The upper level of the house is ALMOST done,

I just love these guys…

Hey friends!

I can admit, I might be a little biased, but after spending a week with these rascals, I am feeling blessed to be their mother. (and wife–hubs went with us. Hated to leave him behind. He carried stuff. And he’s rather fun to have around. Hard to tell, I know.)

These men remind me why I write about families.

There’s a good reason. Really.

Rel Mollet Books, Family

So…for two years I’ve been planning and writing this amazing series. The Montana Marshalls, an epic family series involving one amazing family who sort of end up saving each other and maybe the world. (and falling in love, and learning how much God loves them, and maybe going on fun adventures.) I love my covers,

​All the super things!

Rel Mollet Books, Family, On Writing

Hey friends!

29. No, that’s not my age, (how I wish).

It’s how many degrees BELOW zero it was on Wednesday. Seriously.

I spent the day looking at houses in Florida.

But during the SUPER COLD week, I managed to rewrite book #3 in the Marshall Family saga.

Hey Friends!

This is not Bubby.

Just wanted you to know.

Because often, I share Bubby pictures.

But…well, this is another of my favorites. Epic #53. (Taken at our last regular season football game last week. #footballmomeraover)

We won, so we’re off to playoffs,

It’s started!

Rel Mollet Books, Family, Sports

What’s started?

I’ll bet you can guess…

How about THIS for a hint? (Ignore the real-life kitchen. It doesn’t ALWAYs look like this…but had a….FOOTBALL GAME to watch!)

Yes, this is Bubby watching her uncle NOAH’s first football game of the season. (We like to start the football fanaticism early here at Warren Nation)

It was the last,

The Sweet Conclusion!

Rel Mollet Books, Family

Our epic summer ending came early this weekend with the sudden appearance of our Navy Corpsman, home on leave before he moves to Sicily (yes, Italy) for his last three years of enlistment.

My amazing family dropped everything to come home. And I caught this sweet pix of Pete and Bubby after church.

Rel Mollet Books, Family

I know we usually chat on Saturday, (hopefully right as you’re searching for that perfect book to read!) but I’m heading up to our writing cabin this weekend for our anniversary get-away (29 years with THIS GUY!)…

And on Saturday we’ll be doing something epic…

Cleaning the garage.

So this happened…eek!

Rel Mollet Books, Family, Just for Fun

Hey friends!

So this happened yesterday…

Hubs got a new car..

Now, before you get excited and think we’ve taken out a second mortgage–the car is a ’94. It’s as old as my Navy sailor. BUT, it IS fun.

Hubs said to me a few years ago…why do we always have to do the PRACTICAL thing?
