Summer is here. We are so ready for a break and rest/sleep.

Walter spent the day at the White Water Center with his friend Jude for his birthday. They went rafting, rock climbing, kayaking and zip lining. He had a great time.

Ann Elizabeth has her friend Anna Kate over and they played Ameeican Girl dolls and swam at the pool. 

Both kids has a great first day of summer!

Mothers Day 2014

This year for Mother's Day we were able to spend time with both of our moms separate. It was great to have both of them to our self.

We got together with my Mom..GiGi, before Mothers Day and cooked out at our house. Everyone attended and it was great for Mom to have everyone together. 

Walter's Mom came into town later that week and we celebrated with she and Papa. We went to Longview for lunch and then enjoyed the afternoon at home. 

I loved being with my babies and celebrating with the Moms. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family and I am so thankful for my sweet children that call me Mom. It is truly the best gift ever.

Yes I Can basketball

Ann Elizabeth played in a girls basketball league this spring and she loved it! Her PE coach, Marlene Jeter-former UT basketball star, put the spark in AE to continue on in her sport that she loves. She played with a few other girls from school on her team. The first half of the practice was for instruction and the 2nd half they played a game. 

Ann Elizabeth did so good and learned so much more about the fundamentals of basketball. 

She was picked for the All-star team by her team mates and her team won. 

AE had a chance to shoot a free-throw in the game because she was fouled and she made the shot! We were so excited for her and she was super pumped!

Sunday was Ann Elizabeth's annual piano recital. She has done great this year and worked really hard to memorize her pieces. She received a superior in the hymn festival she played in and was recognized for that.

She is so talented and she loves her teacher Mrs. Hughes who we are so thankful for .
