Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to Shane! We are so lucky to have one of the best! Our boys absolutely adore him and it goes both ways!

                                                 Silly boys at Wendy's for lunch!

Pool Fun!

We have had so much fun swimming this summer. We are so lucky that Nannie has a pool and that we are so close to my grandparent's lake house at Oak Run. We even spent an afternoon at the Johnson's house swimming in Jayla and Jake's little pool.




Hayden and Izzy got a kayak for an early birthday present and Bryce had so much fun with it in Nannie's pool. He was actually pretty good at it!

Choral Dynamics

Yesterday we went to the Orpheum Theatre to watch mamaw and papa sing in the show "Rockin Road Trip." They did a great job! This was the first show that Bryce has gone to at the Orpheum, and he loved it. He got a little restless towards the end, but he was excited to go up on stage and sit in the cool car that was used during the show.






Tractor Show

This past Saturday, we attended the Tractor Show at the fairgrounds to support Relay for Life. Bryce was so super excited to go, he could hardly go to sleep the night before. We ended up spending all morning there and could barely get the boys to go home after lunch. We even joined the tractor parade around Knoxville in papa's John Deere golf cart. The boys also loved watching the tractor pull and playing with Lexi and Cooper (friends from mamaw's house).

Memorial Day

We continued our Memorial Day tradition of attending the service at Mount Vernon cemetery outside North Henderson where my aunt, and great grandparents on my mom's side are buried. We then headed to Oneida to watch the service and put flowers on my aunt, grandparents, and great grandparents graves on my dad's side of the family. We spent the rest of the day as a family mowing, and playing outside. We are so very grateful to the men and women that have served our country.

Our First Camping Trip

We spent Memorial Day weekend camping at Johnson Sauk Trail Campground outside of Kewanee with Brett and Jo and Bill and Gale. Although we don't have our own camper, Brett and Jo were nice enough to let us stay with them. We got there Friday night and headed home Sunday evening. We enjoyed fishing, riding bikes, playing at the playground, playing volleyball, visiting the big red barn, eating lots of yummy food, and having fun with family. Mamaw, papa, Jake, and Jayla even came out to see us on Sunday afternoon. We had a great time and the boys are still talking about how much fun they had with their cousins. Of course I took a lot of pictures!


                   Bryce brought all of his tractors to play with of course

                    Bryce has so much fun with Hayden, I just love this picture!
