11 Years of Blessings

We went to the beach for a few days for our 11th anniversary.  We decided to surprise the kids when we picked them up from school.  John Parker said, "Why is all this stuff in here?"  When we said that we were taking them to the beach, they were super excited.  We had a wonderful time.  The weather was perfect and we pretty much had the beach to ourselves.  I'm usually ready to get back home, but this time we all wanted to stay another week!  John Parker and Avery have done so well at school so far this year, it was great to reward them.  I can't believe it's been 11 years since John Bret and I married.  Where does the time go?  I have been blessed beyond measure and certainly give God all the glory!

Dixieland Delight

We had a great time in Oxford yesterday despite the Rebels' loss.  Hopefully they can pull it together before we start SEC play.  Avery loved cheering with the cheerleaders and her new little friend Campbell that she met at the game. John Parker loved the snacks---nachos, chips, skittles, soft pretzel, cotton candy---and that's just at the game!!  We always love tailgating with the Dancers and Macks.  It's great to have such good friends to make memories with. Avery kept saying, "I sure do love Ole Miss Mama."  I do too Av, even when they don't play so well!!  GO REBS GO!

Back to Cool!

The kids started back to school on Monday.  This is Avery's 1st year at "big school" and she is very excited!  She loves her new teacher and being at St. Anthony with John Parker.  I hope they always feel that way about going to school!
